The most striking shift will be on the sixth hole, known as Egg Harbor, where a small lake is to be built surrounding the green. It will be made an unusually distinctive hole.

The lake will turn the sixth green practically Into an island, something as was done at Baltusrol five years ago. In that Instance a s'nrm of pruiejt went up from players of Influence, who finally capitulated, acknowledging the effectiveness of. the scheme. However, they delayed Its being fully carried out for a year or so. On the troublesome seventh green high sand pits are to be built to the right and left of the green, while the ninth Is to be equipped with a tall bunker.

Sand ridges are to be scattered along on the twelfth ot meadow bole. The construction of a h'gh bunker on the thirteenth, called the "corner," will probably end in giving that hole a blind approach. A trap in the center will be added on the seventeenth. Plans for the season's tournaments of the Ekwanok Country Club cover the time honored fixtures, but on new dates, fxcept the two holiday events. This is the list: July 4, Independence Cup; July 13 to 15, Taconic Cup tournament; August 3 to Vermont State championship; August 9 to 12, first president's cup tournament; September 4, Labor May Cup; September 21 to 23, Equinox Cup tournament.

30 Huntingdon Valley C. C. Patterson Me mortal Cud. Walter J. Travis has been restored as a membor of the greens committee of the Garden City Golf Club, from which he resigned because of a technicality.

There Is every likelihood, too, that he will this week again be named as chairman. The governors of that organization met; last week, when Joseph P. Knapp tendered them a dinner at Delmonlco'a Thu other members chosen on the green committee were Morris Malloy, John M. Ward, George Watson and Mortimer Burkner. The latter was also named as chairman of the committee, soon to be completed.

Almost any afternoon in the week that the weather Is fine a visit to Commercial Field, the spot where the student athletes of Commercial High School get in trim for the many scholastic athletic activities outdoors, will find large groups of boys engaged In the duties of training hard for the season's programme. Attracting the greatest attention from the visitors just now, next to the baseball team, Is the squad of athletes getting themselves In shape for the annual School Field Day. Commercial has planned to hold one of the biggest In-terclass meets In the history of the school on May 15. Just two more weeks are left for the students to get In form, and the clnderpath and field of the big training course is the mecca for the Al Joe Jackson in Popular Favor With the Cleveland Fans Three more games are aebeduled with the Giants this week before the Superbai pack up their suit caseB for an Invasion of the lair of the league leaders at Philadelphia. Bill Dahlen spent Sunday In seclusion studying up plans whereby he can work his team Into winning more than one game in succession.

The Brooklyn manager Is more than satisfied with bis infield; in fact, the combination of inner gardeners is so fast that it compares favorably with any in the leagua. The pitching staff is now complete with Nap Rucker in line and Bill Bergen in the- best form he has shown in several years. Where Dahlen is seeking improvement Is in the outfield. Zach Wheat is picking up in his batting lately and there seems no reason for a change there. HI Myers showed a flash of that .300 batting average of his in the Eastern League during the last two games, but his break on Red 31ui ray's Texas Leaguer Saturday would not win him a niche In the baseball hall of fame.

He needs a bit of coaching, too, lu base running. Coulson has been fielding up to form, and slipping over an occasional timely hit. but his battibg has not been of the consistency that is expected from an outfielder. Dahlen has been looking over the waiver lists of late for outfielding material, but the class turned back by the big league clubs has been no improvement on what he has. His hopes, therefore, center In Larry Jejeune, whose Injured leg Is fast mending, with the result that he is now Bill Dahlen's hope for future greatness.

Lejeune had the injured member thoroughly examined the other day and the report was no broken Hones and everything O. K. It would not be surprising to see Larry cavorting in one of the outfield positions. Larry has been aching for a chance to show his mettle and will get his opportunity within a day or two. The time for reducing the roster to tweny-flve players is fast approaching and Dahlen will have his work cut out for him between now and May 12 separating the players he will keep from those he will let out.

It is pretty certain that he will not retain all the pitchers he has on the list, but whom he will let out, he alone knows. Rumors that Doc Scanlon will be turned over to Boston have been denied at headquarters, the Medicine Man being a regular member of this club and drawing his pay twice a month, although he has not yet been called upon to work. Two pitchers, at least; one infielder and one outfielder will be put on the waiver list shortly, and the team cut down to the proportions prescribed by baseball law. With Rucker back, Dahlen will be able to use his pitching stars in regular- order, the arrangement being Rucker, Bar-ger. Bell and one of the other men Kuotzer, Schardt or Ragan.

Perhaps Scanlon may get back to his own and lie one of the regulars, but that is problematical. The race for the first division In the National League race is going to be much warmer, for a while at least, than that in the American. Those Phillies ara still holding their proud position at the top of the column, but they have got nothing like the lead that the Detrolters have in the American. But all the class seems confined to the first division clubs. Of course, the season Is young very young but according to performance to date, and even promise, the olubs now holding first division places will hold them at the finish, although not necessarily in the same order.

The Cincinnati Reds, of whom great things were expected, have not come up to expectations, and as for Boston, St. Louis and Brooklyn, they appear to be hopeless so far aB the first column Is concernen. This almost equal division of playing strength between the four largest and best-drawing cities in the National League circuit is bound to stimulato public interest and give the game a boost in which the second division teams will be bound to share. So far as the Phillies are concerned their position at the finish will depend entirely upon the strength- or weakness developed In the pitchers box. There is not the slightest reason for believing that the work of the regulars In the fourteen games played thus far has been a flash; on the contrary, there should be an improvement in the general play of the team, the players become better acquainted with each other's style.

As said before, much will depend upon the pitchers. If they stand up and to date they have given no signs of falling down the Phillies should be in the hunt right up to the close. Philadelphia, May 1 All indications point to the Athletics having returned to their old-time form and their meteoric rise from last place the past week was what might have been expected. Whether the team was fired by the sight of their championship pennant, which they raised last week, and the recollections of the hard fight It repre sented, or just the natural return to form with the improved weather, the fact remains that the Athletics have apparently crossed the Rubicon, and from now on should steadily climb to the position their strength warrants. It may take some little time, but there Is hardly a doubt but that they will soon be battling among the leaders.

They will have their hardest test in the present month, most of which will be spent from home, but, judging from the start made Saturday in New York, their supporters have every reason to expect the team to return home In a better posltipn than when It left Shlbe Park. The team has still three games with the Highlanders and four with Washington before tackling the Western clubs on the latter'B own grounds, but from the form displayed the past week the Athletics have little to fear from their Western Invasion outside Detroit, and they should be able to check, if not break, the Tigers' winning break. Manager Mack is still having trouble with, his outfield, and he Is by no means satisfied that Strunk's sensitive knee can stand the stress of a hard campaign. He would like to use thiB faBt youngster regularly, but he fears that the boy's leg will give way at some Inopportune time. He has Lord and Hogan, but the former is going back and Hogan is hardly up to major league caliber.

The unfortunate Injury to Barry in no- wise weakened the infield, as Mclnnes Is filling the place satisfactorily, hitting better than Barry is capable of. It is left field that worries Mack and that caused the club to dispatch a scout South laBt Friday to look over available outfield material in the leagues below the Mason and Dixon's line. In every other respect the Athletics are as strong as at any time in their history. The team has been hitting at a sensational clip, it being the rule that in some one TO-MORROW, 4 P.M., WASHINGTON PARK. BROOKLYN VS.

NEW YORK The month of May It to be a month of golf, according to the list of tournaments that are scheduled to take place within the next thirty-one days. Invitation tournaments for club cups are interspersed with championship matches, and it is most probable that the 1911 form of the crack players, such as Travis and Herreschoff, soon will be known. Coming champions of the game, or rather embryo champions, are practicing their hardest, and although the various links are hardly In shape after a particularly bad winter, they are being kept busy. The past few days of hot weather have done wonders, necessitating the use of much water before the rollers can do their work. Early morning games, for the unfortunates who not only love the game but v.

ho have to go Into the cities to work, are becoming popular already, and many an office boy, who never saw a golf ball, is blessing the ancient game, for "the boss" usually is late. The first of the important tournaments is to take place at the Garden City Club, leading off with an invitation series, followed by the Metropolitan Golf Association championships. The course Garden City is famous for Us hazards, many a good player falling victim to ths treacherous sand pit that makes high scores. A resolution to have some of them filled in was to have been presented at the annual meeting, but the club members ore proud of their difficult course, one of the best known In the country, and it was not done. To have made the course In anything like a par Bcore gives a man a batter reputation as a golfer than the cups of many another club.

In the Invitation competition which begins next Thursday morning, there are three cups up for contention. The first sixteen to qualify play for the President's Cup; the second sixteen for tho Hempstead Cup; the third sixteen for the Mineola Cup. The first beaten eight of the first sixteen play for the Garden City Cup. A gold medal Is awarded for the best qualifying scortj, and also for the best gross -score. There has as yet been no fair test to show thU year's form.

Every spring the players turn out afresh, and they themselves are surprised with the change In their play. Absolutely brilliant shots are followed by the worst kind of foozles, and until the summer has begun to bring forth plenty of practice, good golf is un known. The past winter has been more severe than usual, and save with the few who have been playing golf In the South, the form for this year Is unknown. Entries for the Garden City tournament close to-day. The metropolitan Women champion ship games open at the Scarsdale Golf Club on May 22, and a large number of women from the clubs in the metropolitan district have entered.

The Philadelphia women's championship opens at the Merlon C. C. on May 24, so that a great many who would have entered for the metropolitan will play nearer home. The month is an important one in England. The championships for both men and womne are being played off, the former at Prestwick, the latter at Portrush.

Many Improvements are to be made ATHLETE IS DISQUALIFIED IN MORNINGSIDE RUN H. Harvey Competed Under False Name Trinity Club Boy Takes the Event. Because he competed under a ficticious name, H. Harvey or the Mornlngslde Ath letic Club, who finished first In the final handicap road race, held under the auspices of the Maplewood Athletic Club, was disqualified yesterday morning. Charley Ochensrieter of Trinity Club, with one minute handicap, who was the second to negotiate the route, was awarded first place.

The members of the Maplewood Athletic Club scored the least points, thirty-seven, but were hard pressed by the Mornlngslde A. C. representatives for point honors. The latter corralled forty. The Trinity Club was third with ninety-two.

There were forty-one contestants, and all went the route. Harvey took the lead after the first half of the course was covered, with J. Llnquist and Ochensrietor close behind. About the third mile, F. Stone of the Maplewood A.

C. came strong and challenged the leaders, but the leaders refused to let him psbs. On the last quarter mile Harvey and Ochensreiter battled desperately for first place. The Manhattan lad won by five yards. There was also an Interesting struggle for third place between Stone, Llnquist and Norman.

Llnquist got the consolation medal by ten yards. It was estimated that at least 6,000 people were out to see the race. The route was from the clubhouse, through Dean street, up Flatbush avenue, to Mal- bone Btreet and return. The order of finish follows: H'd'o. Name and club.

good ball club and will win a lot of games with It this season." says Clarke Griffith, manager of the Reds, In an interview with a local sporting writer. "The Clncinnati-rbiladclphia exchange of men has helped both clubs. Grant is playing a great third base for the Reds and Bates has strengthened our outfield. Talking about outfields, I think I've got the greatest trio of fly chasers, hitters, base runners and run-getters In the game in Bescher, Bates and Mitchell. I gave up a great ban player when I traded Paskert for Bates, but I got all the best of the trade.

McQuillan Is going good, but Moren Is laid up with a sore arm and I've not used him so far. I think McQuillan is the best right-hander in the National League, barring Mathewson, that Is, on his 1909 form. If he comes back, and I expect him to 'come he will pitch great ball for Cincinnati as soon as the warm weather comes. McQuillan overworked himself at Hot Springs last spring and took off too much flesh. He is putting on weight every day; has put on weight ever since he left the springs and he will surely twirl great ball for the Reds the remainder of the campaign.

"Give the Reds some pitching and the team will run one-two-three sure as fate. In every other department of the game the team Is strongly fortified. Altlzer Is playing good ball, but Downey has been sick this spring. Downey is a great Infielder and a mighty sweet hitter. As soon as he gets In shape the Reds will have a tip-top bunch of infield men.

The club has no superior either as a base-running or run-making machine. We've got the world skinned for base runners in Bescher, Bates, Mitchell, Egan, Hoblltzel, Altzler and Downey. With good pitching, Cincinnati will be right near the top. And I think we'll get the pitching. I look for Fromme to have one big year.

I also look for Burns to have a banner campaign. Suggs is always on the Job. Keefe is the only kid colt twirler I have in the stable." ATLANTA CLUB REFUSES TO TEST SUNDAY LAW. Nashville, May 1 The anti-reform wave in favor of Sunday baseball, which resulted In games being played in several Southern cities for the first time this season, received a setback yesterday When officials of the Atlanta Club refused to permit their team to take the field In a test of the Tennessee law. Protests from the ministers and others caused the Atlanta officials to balk.

Sup-day baseball has been played in other parts of the state several years and Nashville's baseball owners had been advised that they could play without violation of the law. RECORDS OF THE BIG LEAGUES NATIONAL. Hub. W.L. P.C.

FOR THE COMING SEASON Sheepshead Bay Track to Be Turned Into Aerodrome by Captain Lovelace.

SCHOOLBOYS MODEL CONTEST Work of Improving Hineola Field Will Begin To-morrow Two New Aviators Here. Aviators are beginning to get busy with the advent of spring, and the various aerodromes that have been established on Long Island are rapidly being plated in condition lor flights, and also tor prac tleo. It has been announced that the Shoepshead Bay track will be turned lnco a big aviation Held by Captain T. T. Lovelace, who was formerly connected wUh Molsant, and that practice spins will be made by several 01 the prominent bird-men within a short period.

The course, where many a historical Suburban has been run by the thoroughbreds, is an Ideal one lor the Myers, as it is in a section which, while rapidly growing, still oilers opportunities for a man In the air to pick out a vacant space to allgnt in case of trouble, lhcn again, it is near the ocean, and flights can be made off Manhattan Beach with comparatively 11 tie danger. There are at the present time three machines at the track, and the aviators are awaiting a favorable time to try them out. To stimulate the Interest In aviation among the schoolboys, a model aeroplane contest will be held In conjunction wkh the Queens Borough High School championships at Celtio Park, Saturday, May 2H. The events will be open to all high school pupils in Greater New York, and a handsome silver cup will be awarded the winner. The trophy will be given to the machine making the greatest distance in an official flight, each one to have three trials.

It is necessary that the air-craft be constructed by tha entrant, and not be a model purchased from any concern which makes such machines. There Is no limit placed on the size of the machine, but the power must be of the rubber-band variety, or else constructed by clockwork, cogs or sprlng3. The flights will be for distance only, to be measured from the place the machine leaves the ground to the place where any part of It again comes in contact with the surface. The models must rise by their own power and must carry Into the air all parts of their running gear. Carriages that shall be released when the machines take the air are barred.

The entries close May 10 with L. A. Messenger, Newtown High School. Down at Mineola the work of turning tho aviation field a school for begin ners will start to-morrow. A.

J. Moisant is behind the scheme, and It Is thought that the amateurs will flock to the groundB once the project has been begun. Hangars and buildings will be erected at the far eastern end of the field, which found favor with the flyers last year. Improvements will be made in the big flpld for the benent of the newcomers In the game, for at the present an Inexperienced man might get into trouble landing, as the ground Is very rough. It is also the plan of Molsant to use the field adjacent the Westbury grounds.

The factory of Moisant's brother, on Ninth avenue, Manhattan, has been reopened. Among the blrdmen who are gathering New York in preparation for a busy spring and summer season, are William Evans of Kansas City, and Anthony Janus Washington, T). C. The former has been flying in the West for over a year, but he has not had the opportunity to distinguish himself in the metropolitan district. EvanB is only 28 years old and, according to reports from the West, tg daring and skillful pilot.

He has soared over 6,000 feet high and has made cross country nights of 30 and 40 miles. Janu3 practically a newcomer at the game, having been In the business only about six months. He Is the principal man of the Rex Smith Bl-plane Company, and has had the pleasure of taking many prominent society folk of the country's capital Into the air. ST. JOHN'S TO PLAY ROCHESTER.

St. John's College varsity nine will li.ie up against Rochester University thr home grounds at Lewis and Will-ougnby avenues, to-morrow, at school boys In the after noons. The Athletic Council Is sparing no efforts to make the meet a success. A most attractive programme of evenis has been arranged and prizes of the best variety ever offered have been selected. They will go to the boys securing first, second, third and fourth places in each event.

The winners will get handsome silver cups and there arerno less than twenty events on the programme. Of those following out a training programme at the field, the work of the point winners for Commercial during the Indoor campaign are attracting the attention of the visitors. These are Commercial's crack runners, Trefry, Goldstein, Smith, Horton and Goldberg. They are i figured to have a royal chance for honors In the struggle for points and prizes. Trefry, Goldstein, and Goldberg are Joe Jackson.

With the crack 3t the bat, Jackson dashed out further than appeared necessary, but his reason was soon apparent. He knew that Austin was fast and he knew that if he waited stock still until the ball reached htm, he would be at a disadvantage. Consequently, he ran beyond where the ball was going to drop and then came dashing In, grabbing the ball as he ran and hurling It to Smith at the plate with almost the same motion.

His shrewdness met with success, as Rustln was nailed two feet from the plate. Jackson followed that stunt up the following day by hitting the ball over tho 45-foot wall and screen In right center, the hall leaving the field at a distance of 327 feet from the home plate anl falling on the far side or Lexington avenue, a distance of 386 feet, acordlng to a conservative estimate. Graney was ocupying first base at the time and scored ahead of the Bpeedy center fielder and Cleveland certainly needed those two runs, as it eventually won by the scoe of 6 to B. Sam Crawford was the only player who has ever hit the ball over that wall and screen prior to Jackson's feat, and Crawford's drive was much nearer the foul line and did not travel within 30 feet as far as one hit iiy Jackson. BUSY MONTH PLANNED FOR THE POLO PLAYERS Hard Work Ahead for Challengers and Defenders of International Championship.

Lakewood, N. May 1 Preparatory to the International polo matches to be played at Westbury, Long Island, May 31 and June 3, with a third and deciding game, if necessary, on June 7, the month of May, promises to be replete with assiduous practice by players from whom will be chosen the rival teams to represent England and America. The six British army officers who have come from England and India to give battle for the International polo trophy expect to do most of their practicing at the Lakewood, N. field of George J. Gould.

They have been invited to spend part of May as guests of the Bryn Mawr Polo Club and the Philadelphia Country Club, at Bala, where there are fine polo fields, and they have been assured of the services of plenty of good American pololsts to complete two teams for practice matches. A polo team comprises four players, three forwards and a back, and, as one of six Englishmen here already has been hurt since practice began at Lakewood, they, of course, are dependent upon their friends, the enemy, for enough players to make up the two teams requisite for practice games. The ail-American team H. P. Whitney (captain), Devereaux Milburn (back), and tho two Waterburvs also is nrantlelne not been announced officially as the team that is to defend the cup, It compriaeo the four players who went to England two years ago and recaptured the trophy, which John Watson and thrpe British army officers had carried off from Newport twenty-three years previously, and it is assumed they will defend it, unless accidents should put some of them out of the game prior to the international matches.

Neither has Captain J. H. Lloyd, the leader of the British, announced which four of the six British cavalry officers now here will compete against the Americans. While the East is supplying the men for Uncle Sam's champion team, the ranges of the Far West are supplying a large majority for the many fast and handy polo ponies from which three dozc-n or wbscore will be selected as mounts for the internatloual matches.
