The Amer ican League is making noises about egpandiaf hut at the time when the third Major League is Hying to organise This it bad (or organ tied hast ball and may br dangeroui (or the playrri themselves.^, It seems the National League if willing to ?tay put. with its tradi tional eight dub*, and operate In cuetomray faahion. The Continen tal League being aired by Branch Rickey is hatching out amid aome bumps and grinds, hut may well turn out to be a aolid third Major uciguc. If this occurs, than baseball ben ?flti ? for Major League ball has not changed appreciably for too long and what has happened In Los Angeles and San Francisco proves titers are cities ready for the big time in the national sport. But it la confusing to crank up a new league ? without having one of the oldie* trying to expand at the same time. Of course, the American has Its rights. It can do anything it pleases. But It seems more than coincidental that all this hustle bustle comes exactly when the new league is proposed ? after so many years of dormancy. The players who are being sought by the new league naturally won der whether they'll enjoy the same benefits and rights other Major Leagues have acquired In iMf galning with the major clubs over the years. The Continental Lea gue will not be able to offer everything now available to Amer ican and National players from the beginning, quite probably. For the All-Star games pours hundreds of thousands Into the players' pension fund each year and just where and how the new league can arrange its affairs, financially, to match such condi tions is problematical. After a year or two, when operations have been observed and receipts count ed, the new league will know it can do. A* far as the World Series is concerned? if there is mother sue cessful and accepted Major Lea gue ? that' becomes more compli cated. How could a round-robin title series be arranged between three leagues? It could be done, but there are money questions, rec ognition questions, etc. And all that will take time. Meanwhile, however, it would be better to let the new league have a go at making the grade. The es tablished leagues are not going to recognixe the Continental aa an equal (and possibly rightly so) for some time. But they can't keep Rickey from trying and would do well to stick with their eight-club system until Continental has made the grade or folded? in the inter est of the sport.

(Dave) Crockett of Willlamston. a friend of mine for an lon< as I can remember, came to Boone last summer and played our course for the first time. He liked what he saw, and when he likes something, he tells people about it in a big way. There will be many people com ing to Boone because Dave told them about our course and how well he liked it, because they re spect his opinion. In all the years I've known this fine gentleman. I've never seen him get carried away with any thing the way he was with our course. To say he waa speechless would be in error because I've nev er seen him in that condition; but he was as close to being speech less aa he's ever been when he got his first look at our course. Dave has been coming to the mountains to play golf for nearly 20 years, and he says from now on his mountain golf will be confined to the Boone club. And when he says something, he means it. Dave started playing golf at the age of 89. and took his first golf lesson from my father. Now, al most 70, he is fighting hi* tough est match, and knowing him as I do. he will win, and we will see him in Boone next summer, enjoy ing the game he loves so well. I say he will win, because I've known him to be behind before. I've seen him behind me In match pg only to come on strong in the final few !'nles to win going away. ' I learned long ago never to count him out of a match until the final putt was in the hole and the money in the bank. The Boone club will learn in the future how fine a friend they have in this gentleman. We all wish for him a speedy recovery and an early return to golf and to Boone. ? ? ? ?

The rain aad cold weather of the peat week end waant exactly in the beat interest of golf playing. In fact, the course was so wet Sat urday. we cloaed it to play. There ware several that wanted to play, aa bad aa it waa. Sunday, with the temperature 39 degrees, five awfully stout hearted fellows decided to give it the old college try, and they played IS holes. Maybe we shouldn't mention names at a time like this, but I'm going to. anyway. Those five guys were Haden Cook, Edsel Hodges, Edward Critcher, Hugh Hampton and Truman Critcher. They looked like Rudolph the Red Noae Raindeer, and all his cousins. Edsel claimed the low score for the first nine holes, that being 47, and he seemed rather proud of it at that. I've played in weather that un comfortable, but just can't remem ber when. More power to players such as these, for they are the ones that keep the game of folf from fading out of our minds during periods of cold, bad weather. These are the ones that will play the best golf when good weather does re turn, so watch out for them. Another local golfer to watch out for ia Dr. Francis Hoover. My spies tell me that Francis played in Durham a few di'v* ?eo, and play* behind Hike Souchak. It m*om that Hike gave him a few pointers on the finer aspect* of the game during the course of that round, and Dr. Hoover b?? been putting tome of thoie sug geations to work. "fy> ?
