Course Will Be Opened to the Public Next Saturday. The opening of the new Minnetrista golf course in North Walnut street is now a matter of only days and hours, and the club officials and workmen are rushing the final tasks. The program attending the opening will begin at 1:30 o'clock next Saturday afternoon.

The greens committee, composed of Roy Thomas, president of the club; Lester M. Mtlllgan and Frank Ej llar-rold. has drafted the rules te apply during the coming season. The principal playing rule governs out-of-bounds play. Balls hit over the fences by the first and second fairways, and over the levee by the third and ninth fairways, shall be considered out of bounds.

As usual for out-of-bounds play, the ball shall be replayed from the same spot and the first stroke shall be lost. Member! Have Preference. Members of the Minnetrista Golf Club will have a starting preference over non-members during the first fifteen minutes of every hour. Players may start as soon as the players ahead are beyond driving distance. Non- members of the club as well as members who start playing after the first fifteen minutes of each hour, must reg ister at the shelter house and receive checks- before bginning to play.

Non- members will ne charged a greens fee of 60 cents, whieh will entitle one to play as long continuously as one wishes. As a matter of protection, the committee has ruled that women wearing high heeled shoes will not be allowed on course. The foundation for the shelter houjse and professional's room been laid and the structure will he finished by Saturday. The shelter space will be about sixteen feet square and at one end of this will be the. professional's room, where golf supplies and refresh ments will b- Uept.

'1 he register lensik for the course will bp kept there, also. The professional's room will be con structed of hollow AMU Mark Yardage. Xew sandboxes, each of which will contain a water bneket, are being made and the greens cups and flags have already been received. Students of the vocational department of Central High School, under th direction of Glen D. Brown, head of the department, are making stake signs, designating the yardage, to be placed on the course.

The fairwnys nave neon cut witn the new triplex mower a couple of times. The surface of the fairways is rather rough, but it is tlviieht tnat the use of the course and the effects of the weather will smooth the surface within a season or two. Psing a heavy roller is considered inadvisable, because of the texture of the The greens are In splendid condition. The progress made on the ninth green has been so rapid that it will be used immediately. Ever since the course was laid out.

there has been much speculation as to how difficult the course will be to play. There were some opinions that the absence of trees, water courses and rolling surface would eliminate the usual thrills of the game, but the general opinion now Is that it will be "plenty tough." The out-of-bounds fence on two sides of the course and the levee and river on the other sides wl'l rquire the straightet of shoot'ng on the outside fairways, and the other holes are so well guarded with traps and bunkers that trouble will greet the clayer on every side.

Clyde Crouse, of the Chicago White Sox, Muncle's own big league son, may umpire bases at the North Walnut street park this afternoon when the Athletics and the Lincoln Itighway team of Indianapolis clash. Although Crouse has not definitely asserted that he will assist In umpiring. It Is thought he will finally content.

However, If he does not umpire he will be on the bench with the boys. Crouse broke a thumb during the Chicago-Boston series at Boston last week and he was given leave of absence. A fast game Is expected, as there I keen rivalry between the local lads and the Lincoln Highway team. The Lincoln team is considered one of the fastest colored teams In the state. Jackson and Slattern Here.

Big Bill Jackson, the hefty mounds-man for the Athletics, arrived In Muncie last night and said his arm was In perfect condition for an attack from the mound. With him came Mattern, catcher, and Farley, second batnaii. Muncie fans are acquainted with the ability of Bill Farley, who pitched tor the Athletics last year, and his brother is said to have acquired much of that ability and put It Into use around the second sack. Bchotte, of Indianapolis, will take care of the initial sack, while George Klllotl will play third base and Herb Morrett will be In the short stop hole. An all-Muncle outfield, composed of Joe Kvans.

Larry McCabe and Doc Hol-slnger. will be seen in action. After a rest of three weeks the Athletics should be la good rhape for heavy bombardment at the plate. In their only game this season they showed they knew how to use the stick. Grigsby of the Cubs, playing in Hack Miller's left field position, swept into a batting stride that carried him Into the select list with an average of a gain of forty-eight points within a week.

Max Carey and "Pie" Traynor of the Pirates continued to run a dead heat for the base stealing honors with nine each. While Jacques Forunier, of the Dodgers is leading the home run hitters with eight.
