Ira Thomas Now Wearing False Whiskers in the Sagebrush
TKA THOMAS, Connie Mnck'n noted gumshoe man and srout ouraordlnaiy, Is
pcerlns Into tho out-of-the-wny plac.es in tho far West for new talent. Kor
almost a month ho has been In search of raio specimens of loiy and tho results
rmo been satisfactory Ho dug up a guy named I'.ilmcr out of the Texas Leaguo
and stumbled on Shnrman, a slugging outfielder from tho same eh cult These
players are said to be cry good and Connie Is banking on them to strengthen
his club ns soon as the Teas season closes. At present Ira Is peeling through
his disguise at Charley Hollocher, the sterling llttlo shortstop on the Poitland,
Ore., club. Chailey has been developed by Walter McCiedle, tho man who brought
out Dave Bancroft, nnd accoidlng to reports ho Is the sensation of the ear, A
deal was on with tho Cubs early in the enr, but becauso of their failure to como
through with Southpaw Heuther everything was called off. This left tho field
clear for Scout Thomas it is believed that an effort will bo made to purchaso
Ilollooher's leleaso from Portland nnd unless a Jiuro sum Is nsked nnother name
will be nddctl to tho A's payroll. Connie, however, has wired Ira to go slow nnd
not do nn thing unless the rookie shows unusual promise. With Witt, Dugan,
Grover, Hates and the new man, Palmer, on tho Job, nnothcr infleldcr does not
item to be needed
Thomas Is In search of n good pitcher, If such a person can be found, Ho
en will go so far as to sign up two or thrco If they show sufficient class.
Connie Is weak in the pitching depaitment, nnd It Is believed that, with u couple
of good hurlcrs to ntiRinent his staff next year, tho pennant race will not be so
onesided. At present Nojes. Mjcrs nnd Schaucr are his best bets, with Joe

The rott of meat is nn (lie jump,

No matter what you have to buy,
With flabby puisc and little in it,
The stuff you wait is on the fly

Socks, pics and shirts suits, boo;c and hats,

William S Flynn. greenkeeper of the Merlon
Cricket Club nnd by nil odds one of the
Sort intelligent fellows who over had charge
of a big golf course. .
Tljnn made such a fin Job of the work
last year when tho national amateur cham
pionship was ptaed at Merlon that grass-
keepers and chairmen ot green """":"n'
from all over the country ran over to Mer on
after tho tournament to see what ho had
dono. Ko Is on expert or. soil conditions.
11. a criiotslnir and whon ho docs
something ho Is as suro of results as houan
be. It takes ncrvo to transplant two greens
n month or two before a national champion
i,hlp. but that Is what he did and when the
championship came along no one could nave
told Just where the sod had knitted. Ho
took turf right out of the rough and trans
planted It on a putting green and got iery
flno results
Greens Arc Burning Out
Just at this time of tho year nearly every
golf course Is bothered with Its greens No
matter how much care Is taken with them,
- ii,... H, o c-reen crass il sappoars
and In Its place are those great brown
..r.Ms. Arnnimink had Us first big tourna
ment a few weeks ago and half tho greens I
on the coutso were inirneu out m.-.i
camo time to plav tho tournament. One
of the reasons assigned tvns that too'mucli
humus was put on them Then followed
haul lalnstoims and on top of them blls
leiing heat. The theory advanced was that
the humus, whose chief property Is creating
heat, steamed up the ground to such an
extent that all tho grass was killed
Klvnn dots not believe that this has any
thing to do with It and In a talk with htm
at the Mellon Ciliket Club tho other day
he had this to say.
"I have lead a lot about greens burning
out in spots and there have been a number
of teasons assigned to cover tins comiiiiou.
but as yet I havo not seen a correct diag
nosis of this condition After a lot of tilals
and tribulations and sitting up nights tiy
ing to figure out what wis wrong, wo dis
covered by the aid of the Agilciilturnl De
piitment at Washington that these spots
are caused by a fungus condition of tho
turf.
Bordeaux Mixture the Cure
'The hot humid weather tends to make
the fungus battel la active nnd they statt
right in to do things up in own, especially
the turf Now we have found that to cor
icct and arrest this condition one-half
stiength Hordcaux mlxtuie Is effective when
about flftv gallons ale spiajcd on a green.
"A one-half stiength Hoideaux mlxtuio
Is made by diluting two nnd a halt pounds
of copper sulphate In hot water, diluting
two and a half pounds of iiuickllmo In
water and then mixing both together In a
fifty-gallon barrel or water After spray
ing' on the green the gtcen should be
watered slightly to offset any bum that
may occur. Po not watei gteen too heavily,
however, as this will weaken the solution"
And that is the way that Vl.vnn woiks.
If ho does not know how to el'mlnate a
pest, or If ho is unteitaln nbout anything
else, he gets In touch with the experts In
the Agricultural Department. Ho reduces
gueses to a certalntv. and that Is where he
saves tlnio nnd money on tho numerous
pioblems that bother any one who has to
do with tho upkeep of the course.
We hear a lot about the advantage of a
pulled ball Hut when jou get tight down
to biass-tacks the chap that hits a Mialght
ball down the center of tho alley has It all
over tho other fellow who pulls and hooks
A Blanco at the description of tho final
match between Horfner nnd Dewees will
show that most of Hoffner's tee shots vvcr
badly pulled nnd In several cases tho ball
landed In traps Out of seven holes in
which he pulled his tee shot he lost six and

THE whole story of engine
lubrication is told when
we say that there are four
principal motor-oils, one of
which is sure to be the exact
lubricant best suited for your
particular car.
This group is the result of
patient research and actual
road-tests on the part of the
oldest and largest manufac
turer of lubricating oils in the
world. Your garageman will
tell you which you ought to
use.
And when he does, use
that oil, regularly and con
sistently. Your motor will
take on new life and you will
be IN a lot of money. Get
your free copy of the "Why"
booklet. It gives you the
A-B-C's of car-lubrication.
