has de- cided to send an Olympic turn of its own to Europe as a protest against the decisions of the American Olympic selections committee Five members of the winged-foot organization who failed for various reasons to qualify for the tern will be sent abroad at the expense of the club in an effort to have them included in the team The five men are Roland Locke former University of Nebraska sprint star Weems Baskin crack hurdler from Alabama Poly Matt McGrath veteran hammer thrower Fait Elkins Indian decathlon star who was injured during the tryout at Philadelphia and was unable to complete the ten events and Norton Jackson a wrestler In addition to the protest against what he claims were improper choices by the selections committee Nathan Halpin chairman of the Winged-foot Athletic

for Syracuse of the New York-Pennsylvania League Davis has come to be regarded as one of the most valuable members of his team and despite his extreme is about as high as $25000 are said to have been made to Toronto which club owns his contract for the services of the young fellow Davis left here in the spring with Pe itiedhomme one of Toronto's pitching stars and although his inexperience handicapped him in his efforts to land an International League berth he was quite a success at Syracuse where he was farmed by Toronto This season is his first in professional baseball and to quote one of the Syracuse papers: "His sprightly fielding and timely hitting have made him one of the idols of Syracuse fans" Recently a romance of the South was culminated when Davis and Miss Cordie Evelyn Douglas of Shreveport were married Mrs Davis accompanied the bride to Syracuse and the lovers were married at Liverpool a suburb of Syracuse The occasion of the marriage was made quite an event by the Syracuse papers and ene appeared with a photo of the young player and his bride together with a long account of the wedding "Despite his success" the Syracuse Herald said "life in the North was decidely lonsesome to young Davis and most of his thoughts of the girl he left behind in far off Shreveport the pair having been sweethearts since childhood They had intended to be married in the fall but the athlete asked for a change in plans and his many and insistent letters finaly met with favor" 4 0 Ett MONO 111111il Friday the Thirtenth Is Holiday fgr Tunney SPECULATOR July Friday the

tomorrow The champion has agreed to take a brisk workout on Sunday while Tex Rickard is here to witness the signing of the New York boxing commission contract for the coming battle The occasion ill be Rickard's first visit to this resort which the champion considers one of the country's most beautiful spots In the last three rounds Dickerman was faced by only nine men One reached first in the

second base With one down in the first Deviveros doubled and after Frazee had been retired Phipps drew the only walk Messenger gave Deviveros took a long lead off second and as he started for third he was trapped between the bags He was scooting back to second when he looked up to observe Phipps nearing the cushion Phipps was eventually touched out by Grimes The second scoring chance came in the fourth when Deviveros got his second double but went out at third hen Frazee attempted to bunt him to the far turn Frazee perished at first when Phipps fanned and Kilduff fouled out In five of the

construction of such a course at Lakeside Park Harold Neale a golf architect of New Orleans prophesies that the new course via be quite an affair Mr Neale prepared the plans for the course "After carefully studying Lakeside Park both on the ground and from a topographical survey furnished by the park department" Mr Neale says in a fetter to the park board '1 am more convinced than ever that a popular nine-bole course can be constructed thereon at a moderate cost "I say 'popular course' for two reasons First the topography of the park is decidedly undulating and a course constructed as designed will adapt itself to the many and various types of play In fact it should be FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE municipal course insofar as its natural adaptability for golf play is concerned "Second Lakeside park is nearly centrally located and having a Street car line running directly to it is accessible to the majority of the people AN bo would patronize a public course The nearer a public course to a residential and business section of a city the more it adds to its popularity as it is possible for business men and women to leave their offices late in the afternoon and be able to play nine or eighteen holes before sundown" The course as designed is 2812 yards in length and par is 34 It is designed to leave an area of approximately 13 acres on tte southwest corner of the park bordered by Park Drive unhampered by golf play Mr Neale expressed the belief that the course will so increase interst in golf play that it will be revenue producing Blackwell park superintendent stated that it would not be necessary to destroy any of the large trees in the park to make the construction of the course possible 0 II Modern Glasses express the dignity and grace that all admire
