A welcomed change on the course
th coverinir of the creek. W
it was narrow, and not deep, it
cause considerable concern to many
players, and has on hundreds of
casions swallowed up balls.
Workmen dug from the bed of the
creek, something like a bushel of golf
balls.
A decided asset to the Country
dub this year, is the acquiring of
the Belle Meade pool. Now, golfers
can take a plunge after a round
instead of hitting the showers.
course, the showers are still availa
bla, but a plunge into the cool, and
pure spring water in the pool, wi
just add more sport to the day's re
creation. And if you ask us, it
and ideal set up in fact, a sports
man's paradise.
More than one fisherman has al
ready felt the urge to seek members
of the finny tribe, and have taken
-stock of their equipment. The season
for trout opens the 15th, and scores
of fishermen have already spotted
their favorite falls, or hole for the
first day of the season.
Local stores are offering a larger
assortment of fishing equipment this
season, and already sales are report
1 above the average, which indi
cates a good season.
Other lines of sporting goods are
being displayed in larger quantities
this year than in the past. And there
is nothing that can create more en
thusiasm on any sport than to see
all the necessary equipment neatly
displayed in a store.
Take tennis, for instance. Mor
tennis fans have been started by just
swinging a racket in the store than
on the court. And by the way, unless
some changes are made mighty soon
vre will be without tennis courts here
again this year . . . sad, sad, sad.
Just wonder what became of the
cycling fad that was so popular two
summers ago. Certainly, no sport
calls for more exercise than pushing
a bicycle up these hills. But just
like other sport fads here today and
pone tomorrow.
Three years ago, shuffle boards

Merely building, a court, a shuffle

Knowing that the house over which
he presides now has it full quota of
ninety-six Senators, Vice President
Garner was momentarily startled last
week to receive this telegram: "Re
member, you got your wish. 1 am a
Senator now." It was from Zeke Bo
nura, ball player. Mr. Garner once
told Bonura that he would like to
see him in a Washington Senator's
uniform. Bonura, who last season as
first baseman for the Chicago White
Sox did some of his most effective
home-run hitting against Washing
ton pitchers, has been traded this
season into the enemy camp.
The Washington nine, although its
"official" nickname is "Nationals," has
long been known to sports writers and
fans by the name of the august ninety-six.
The word "Senator" derives
from the Latin root for "old." Mr.
Bonura is young enough to be a
Washington Senator, old enough to be
a United States Senator; he recently
reached the constitutional age of 30.
Behind him are eight years of minor
and major league competition.

urday, With Practice Game
Among Prospective Players
The Hazelwood Manufacturers have
been practicing as often as possible
with weather permitting. According
to Manager Bischoff they will be in
shape for a practice game between
themselves Saturday.
The regular lineup for the season
has not been selected and probaly will
not be until just before the first game
is played.
The game to be played Saturday
will be a starting point in, the active
training for the 1938 baseball pro
gram. To bring out the good points
as well as the bad, players must be in
action, and this is the purpose of the
practice game Saturday.
The official schedule has as yet
not been completed, but will proba
bly be on the order of last year's
games.
Manager Bischoff is planning sev
eral practice games with other teams
before the season officially opens.
One of the games will probably be
with the W. C. T. C. Catamounts if
the game can be arranged.

LEI YOUB OWN USTI DECIDE.
Toping the boxing card for this
week is the tital bout between the
Brown Bomber, Joe Louis and Harry
Thomas in a fifteen round bout in
Chicago Friday night with the odds
greatly in favor of the negro.
The bout is one of many that Louis
has had to participate in to hold his
crown. 1 he Brown Bomber has been
idle the least of any champion in the
history of the prize ring. Some
fighter is always ready to tackle the
champion for the title.
It i.s not expected that Thomas
will win, and it is expressed by some
that the bout is only a tune-up match
to get Joe in shape for the bout of the
season on June 22 when Louis will
meet Max Schmeling. Max is the
only fighter that has put the Bomber
out. for the count.
Although the fight is not expected
to go the full fifteen rounds, Thomas
has a right that has plenty of punch
and he may get the chance to use it.
