Many times In my articles I have ad
vised relaxation. In fact, I am con
tinually preaching It, for I consider it
one of the best Ideas of the whole game ;
but this, too, must be remembered, there
absolutely nothing unless you hit the
ballfirst.
I wonder If you ever have the feel
ing when you- are Just playing around
and happen to hit a very good shot that
you are really sorry that It Is m good
bceause It was not made In an Important
contest, and In a way was somewhat
wasted? Think how much you needed
that very shof In your hard match
with Smith the other day ! Often. In
deed, have I had that feeling, and after
a particularly good shot under such n
condition I have frequently played
carelessly so that I needn't waste those
very good shots either upon the desert
air or a weak opponent. Few things
are sillier, however, than such Ideas and
practice. Good shots are never wnsten
and they cannot be saved. A man should
mHOSE Philadelphia golfers who have
- not had the pleasure of playing over
the new elghteen-hole course of the Rlv
erton Country Club havo missed oite of
the very best courses in the Philadelphia
district and a links that a few years
from now will compare favorably with
any Inland golf course In this country.
It Is a course that every member of a
greens committee should see, for River
ton has greens and traps and holes that
are models.
It Is thework of Donald Ross, the best
of our American course architects. Don
ald gets $100 a day for his services, but
he Is worth every ccntof It. Clarence
If. Gelst got him to trap the Seaview
course, and If you have played over It
within the last six months you will begin
to appreciate Just what a first-class ar
chitect can do. "
Where Riverton Was Wise
The plaint of most course architects
Is that the clubs will not follow their
blueprints. Riverton Is the exception
Ross told them how to build the greens,
the traps and the tees, and they obeyed
him to the letter.
The basis of any golf course Is the
two-shotter. This type of hole Is the
sinew and backbone of any links. The
three-shotter one of these days will go
out of existence, as has the old guttle
ball. The one-shotter Is. of course, nec
essary, but tho chief objection to most
three-shot holes Is that you can dub at
least one of the three strokes nnd yet be
home. The two-shot hole of the. Ross
type demands two perfect shots and he
has built seven of these at Riverton.
Beautiful Undulating Course
Of the eighteen holes, eleven are on
the new addition to the links, and the
old nine-hole course makes up the other
seven. While the old holes as changed
hv nnss are E'ood. thev are not in the
same class with the new holes. There
Is a big grove of trees that divides the
two sections of the ground 'owned by
Riverton. The first of the new holes is
the third, and the drive Is through a
clearing In these woods, it is more than
a dog-leg hole, for it is built at right
angles, A long, straight drive takes the
ball Into the fairway. Cnlcss the player
can get away with a sliced ball that Just
clears the edge of the woods he has a
long brassy to the green The green Is
well guarded for poor seconds.
The second two-shotter Is the sixth.
must be two perfect shots 4 the player
expects to get home. The green on the
next hole Is elevated and the second
shot Is all uphill, and It Is one of the
finest holes on the course. The same Is '
true of the eleventh. '
Plenty of Variety
It takes time to grow grass In New
Jersey, so the members are teeing up
on the new portion of the course, and
will for another year at least. But
when the turf Is right Riverton Is going
to be a real treat. It Is not flat, and
most flat courses are monotonous. It It
not hilly, for hilly courses are tiring to
many golfers. But It Is a fine Undulating
stretch of ground, and you can play
thirty-six holes without getting tired,
and at the same time get all sorts of
Ilea and stances.
The greens are In splendid condition.
They are not perfect, for they are not
two' years old, but. as to construction
and contour, they cannot be beaten by
any other club In this section of the
country. Every green meets the ball.
They are large and the undulations are
such that It takes careful putting to
get results. None of thenf Is a freak
and the turf Is, of an excellent character.
Jii.t One Poor Hole
The only hole on the course that Is
not really good Is the eighteenth, and
on that there Is a tree, which Interferes
with the second shot, no matter how
perfect the drive. One of two thlnxs
can he done to the hole, the felling of
the tree or the shifting of the green.
The distances on each and every hole
are excellent, and here Is the card, with
the yardage and par:

BIWEEKLY, FOOTBALL
Yale, Princeton and Harvard May
Arrange Such n Schedule
There Is the possibility In event of a
decision being reached to organize foot
ball elevens at Harvard, Princeton and
Yale next season that the Ble Three
may make an agreement whereby the
elevens would practice two or three
times a week and nlay games every fort
night. In this way military aud ether
studies would not be affected by foot
ball practice and at the same time' tho
two practices a week or say five prac
tices In two weeks, would harden the
players sufficiently to enable them to
undertake a schedule on the fortnightly
basis. Walter Mace, Yale's assistant
trainer, eays that football could very
easily be played on this basis.
"Only," he said, "the agreement wc-uld
have to be hard and fast among all the
colleges who went In for the arrange
ment," '
As to next season's baseball prospects
at Yale, he said that everything was
uncertain, so far as material was con-
I cerned.
Pittsburgh, and Bob Moha. th Milwaukee
middleweight, may be arranged; tne money

In the cage and which made him so
popular throughout basketball circles.
In Kllroy, Coffey has a splendid little
pitcher. He relieved Pease on Saturday

Ship League Stands Pay
The appeal of Frame Miner, ot tne
Chester ship team,' of the Delaware
Klver League, to secure another player
to take the place of Ayau, who was
drafted, has met defeat. The managers
Insisted that such a loophole for jockey
ing: of nlavers would lead to serious
trouble and agreed to stand by the date
fixed for signing players on June 10.
President Sampson says that as this
was the first season of the league many
things have been overlooked and viola
tions and Infractions of rule,s have not
been punished as they should. The Del
aware Shipbuilders' League Is not or
ganized to play baseball alone, and the
players receive no concessions not
granted to other workmen. Sampson
claims that the other leagues to be or
ganized later, football, soccer, basket
ball and bowling, will be more strict.

Coroner Bill Knight, of the City Hall.
proved that his comeback of last year
was a real affair when he handed the
aggregation captained by Chief Deputy
t:oroner Sellers a 17-to-s setoacK yester
day afternoon at the annunl outing of
the Coroner's Otflce at Bethayres.
The fact that Coroner Knight was able
to hold that hard hitting nine of Sellers's
to two runs and three hits signifies that
Knight Is either a good pitcher or the
players on the other side were after an
Increase In pay. At no stage of the
game was the Coroner in. trouble and
after the nine Innings were over several
big league scouts that were ln the stands
offered ducratlve contracts to the Cor
oner. "Bill" hasn't decided .whether he
will take any of the many officers, as at
present he Is engaged ln city and State
work.
