paying a lot of attention to the mile track Added to his own observations he has the word oi the trainers who have been using it and the club has decided to carry out his suggestions as to a new top dressing The turns need resurfacing and contracts will be let in a few days The surveys have been made and from six to ten inches of clay will be added to the turns half way out from the pule The home stretch is all right as is most of the back stretch but where needed the right kind of dirt will be supplied so that in the soring the track can be made in excellent shape The track was not good this year the surface having been worn off but at that Dan Newell did a good job of patching It up to mako it fit for the best horses This is the first time since the reconstruc tion of the track bv the present driving club that anything has been done in the wav of adding soil to the surface What with a Rood mill track and a brand new half mil track probablv will be one the greatest training the country in 1914 and this will do much tn add to the of the snort which has been In high favor here for more than half a century rounds under ordinary circum stances but when he saw Eddie fearing In swinging both hands the chance was too good to miss He simply stiffened his left check ed that rush completely and as staggered back from th Impact shot the right over directly on the point of the chin Wan Counted Ont Down went and was counted out There was no about his defeat for it took five minutes to bring him to his senses But the pity of is that Kiibano always held that punch In reserve time he boxed in New York He bears the reputation of a in Gotham and he must do some thing wa yout of the common be fore ho cun hope to be well received If Ritchie had been content to merely box Cross and outpoint him as he certainly could have done he would not be the popular fistic herd that he is today Cross was a strong favorite and the general impression was that any man who would mix punches with him was doomed to defeat But Ritchie proved that was not only a master of the left hand jab but that he could also use his right when the occasion offered and afraid to let It go In this particular he differed from such clever boxers as Mcarland and Kilbane Both of the boxers in question have good right hands and can them if they want to But neither cure to take a chance Hitchle took the chance and by so doing has established himself as a big drawing curd in New York Uld Jem Mace often kaid me the man with a good straight left against a swinger and my money goes on the jabber every Would PIcrmc Him If Mace's ghost was at the ring side when Hitchle beat Leach Cross the spirit would have seen his prediction verified with this ad dltion The man with the straight jab not only

Surely it is a much mooted question any way you look ax it and no one should do any more than give an opinion on subject It was a shock to me to read Mr Devereux article in Goir for October and hear him say Posi tively and without question that the Piping Rock course on Long is land was the second best course in the country That is far too posi tive a statement it seems to me His opinion is valuable for the ar ticle he wrote to back up is state ment was a one and indeed Piping Rock must be a good course only one halt of all he says te true but his positiveness was a shock In the magazine Mr Ber nard Darwin the English critic who although I like Mr articles better is one of the best qualified writers on golf in that country wrote a similar article His re view of our courses was most in teresting and one could not help but feel as if he knew exactly of what he wrote He had however only seen a few of our American courses was the number I so could only classify those But his remarks were refreshing if only because he quannea ueiu uu make the statement of what was best and what Xatioual Liukx Are Best There is little doubt in my mind that the National links at Southamp ton I are the best in the coun try because they were constructed along the right lines Mr Darwin places the National links first among our seaside courses and the general opinion seems to back this up to its fullest extent But of the inland courses which is best? Darwin says Myopia and Emmet says Piping Rock Some think Garden City some Brookline etc but this subject is never set tled conclusively And it is just this that leads me to believe that tnere are so many here that the best American golfers is perfect our courses proud that our class ALMA TO MEEf OLIVET IN Ah STATE CONTEJ of the trucks as there Is more talk about three pr cent entrance now than ever in the past Drcmore arm has shipped to Roy Miller at Lexington two highly bred weanlings by Justice Brooke and out of Native Belie and Gay Worthy Of the new 2:10 pacers thia year rank Rogaah Jr Is first In speM with 2:01 ahl Michigan Queen by Marble Grit is second with 2:03 olnsetta the fast daughter of Baron gale and Anelia is at Dronw farm Lit tle will be done with her next year as it Is expected that the will be ripe for the stakes In 1915 Walter Cox waa given a banquet by the citizens of Dover last Thursday Poughkeepsie folks are going to do the same thing to Murphy Now that Snow is che of ue why give him a spread in Detroit?

It is only two years old but a newcomer cun hardly believe this for the fairway is in beautiful shape and our greens are quite as good us the average now and will Improve with use I think that the black surface near the lake would account for this although it Is something that was sadly lack ing on our old course and that was nearer the lake than the present course Although the country round about is nut ugly the general land scape is not one of particular beau ty so in that respect we must ad mit Inferiority to many other courses It is in the playing course itself that the club places its pride and 1 can say along with Ray that it is the best course I have played over in this country I have played many courses in the east and most all the prominent courses in the northwest andr never have I seen one that put up the same test of golf as the course up on Lake St Clair Mr II Colt of England laid out the course and as he is the highest authority on golf course construction the committee made the right kind of a start There were 27t acres of ground to choose from and this fact aided him a lot for it allowed him to make each hole separate from the last so that there was none of this confusing going back and forth over a square lot and having holes run parallel When one is playing one nole he is entirely separate from the rest ot the holes and so is free from that noise and the danger of having a stray ball lay one low Excels in Length of Holes It is in the length of the holes that our course excels I think for only on two boles could the length be Changed to any advantage namely the eleventh and sixteenth or eighth All the holes are of fine caliber especially one two thirteen and seventeen A great deal of stress is laid on the drive and a long accurate driver finds the holes opened up very well but let fcjin fall down the least bit on his driving and he is indeed in quite a difficult position This is especially true on the first third and ninth holes where a short drive or the line gives an approach shot that requires a nicety that few amateurs possess Several changes have Leen sug gested and talked over but the discussion generally gets down to whether or not the eleventh hole should be altered in any way Per sonally I believe that the holes should either be lengthened or shortened for it seem right that one should be forced to play short of a trap or a ditch on a long hole Long holes are for the benefit of the longer player and if he is forced to play short on his second shot he loses his advantage In either case I believe that the bank of the ditch should be levelled and a large trap Inserted to guard the green and then the would be unbeatable The short fifth hole gives a hook ed shot too much advantage and allows luck to enter into the cal culation too much A ditch where one might get a good lie and his opponent a poor one when the snots TRICK PLAYS WILL BE STOCK rromIse8 Center of ootball 1 Interest Thistle Patch Recently Bought by
