a trade and cash deal whereby Uhmke
and Veaeh would come to New York,
and the Reds appeared to be negotiat
ing with "officials of several clubs. Garry
Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati
club, was all chuckles and smiles when
he discussed the Groh deal. Garry
thought that he had just about made
the best deal of his career, and Pat
Moran, his able manager, nodded aas

Third Baseman Stock as a Rood addi
tion to his team and intimated he would
pay a pretty penny for him. George
Gibson had a fow things to say about
Traynor, the young shortstop recalled
from Birmingham, of the Southern As

that the Pirates would not be averse

Joe Schepner, the keeper of the third

or other of the clubs all according tjo
the club that has the most money to

President Hickey, of the American
Association, and Jack Hendricks, the
Indianapolis manager, had conferences
with some of the leading moguls of the

part regarding the prospects for a ban

fortunate is such a course when the
creek has been utilized properly by the
links architect.
Creeks have played a tremendous
part In every part of our champion
ships, professional and amateur, but
devotees of the sport, following in the
galleries, perhaps have seldom observ
ed the fact. Players who have par
ticipated in the national amateur can
speak eloquently of the lirst hole at
Brae Burn. Boston, which is a splen
did ci'iek hole and which had a lot
more to do with the championship, .1
can assure you, than ever showed on
the surface of things.
Another of the very finest creek
holes in America, I think, is hole num

3. Lie between tee and green on
short noles.
It is as a .temptation, rather than
a hazard, I think, that the creek
serves its best purpose. Assume that
we stand at the tee of a creek hole
with the green 320 yards distant. Di
rectly m front of the green"-we have
a creek. Now, the obvious thing to do
here is play the drive for a good lie
on the near, or tee side, of the creek.
Par would, of course, be four on such
a hole. From this lie we would pitch
to the green and have two putts.
But the creek is a temptation in
this case. The player will feel, often,
that, by pressing his drive to the ut- j
most, he can clear the creek and be j
on in one. He presses you know the
rest. If he gets 300 yards a splendid I
drive he is m the water, but the

Justice Guy late yesterday" stayed the
receivedship appointed for Tex Rickard,
boxing promoter, the. Madison Square
Garden Corporation and the JIadison
Square Garden Sporting Club, pending
an appeal taken to the appellate divis
ion. .
The stay wras granted after Justice
Guy had conferred with Nathan Burk
an, Rickard's attorney, and Thomas J.
eill, counsel for Frank C. Arm
strong who claims he is entitled to a
60-50 division of trie profits from Rick
ard's Garden enterprises by virtue of
an alleged partnership agreement en
tered into several yeara ago.
Counsel for Rickard agreed that the
defendant would in no way transfer or
interfere with the property in dispute
and insisted that all the Madison Square
Garden enterprises were good paying
propositions "and had netted a laigt:
profit during the last year.'

in the National Amateur Champion
ship in 1315, Bob Gardner, of Chicago,
made this hole in one against John
Anderson, of New York, who made i.

everywhere in golf. nearly every
course having one at some point or
other. I think I should choose this par
ticular creek hole as the best one in
existence.
Olympia Fields, Chicago, is a fine
example of good golf architecture as a
whole and it is an exceptional exam
ple of well-layed-out creek holes. Each
of the four 18-hole courses of this
club has creek holes, and those of No.
1 and 2 courses are wonderful. They
could not be improved upon.
Holes 8 and 9 of the St. Louis Coun
try Club, i whore this year's amateur
championship was held, are the coun
try's best examples. I think, of difficult
creek holes. How- difficult they are may
be understood when it is cited that two
or three of this country's very best
j match play because of the difficulties
! they encountered at these creeks. Da
vid Herron was one of these. Many
players thought these holes were real
ly too stiff, but this course is meant to
be a testing course in every sense and

see that the architect really made
splendid use of his creek. I have tried
to picture how 1 would change the
holes md I conclude I would leave
them as they are.
In the eighth hole of this pair, the
creek runs alongside the green, so
that the green has to be walled up.
This green has a very narrow en
trance, and from the tee the player
cannot drive hard and thus get close
for a pitch because it is an elbow hole.
It takes about all the drive one has
to clear the woods that border the fair

clubs of the International League,

idence, R. I., announced their intcn
tion at the. annual meeting yesterday
to remain in the circuit.
Montreal and Providence, both in
the league before the war, have been
seeking to re-enter for more than a
year. The Jersey City, Syracuse and
Reading clubs did not return large
profits during the last two seasons and
for this reason it was rumored that
they would be willing to part with
their franchises.
The league voted unanimously, Pi es-1

from further discussion of the existing
draft rule.
Toyland With
V'-l ' ...
The land of make-believe. Do you remember it? How you used to slip to bed on Christ
mas Eve so that Old Santy could come down the chimney with his sack of toys for you?
Those were the days of make-believe, and what happy ones they were. And even now
when Christmas comes and you help trim the tree and place the presents around it
you can't help but feel a little thrill at the thought that next morning will be Christ
mas And you live in it all over again just as your children will live in it on Christ
mas morning the land of make-believe. Come and see this Toyland where thousands
of the most ingenious toys are being shown, and see what skill and workmanship is
put into making the children happy. Bring the children in and let them see it all.
They will enjoy it, and so will you.
