Municipal Golf Association Plans to Make 18-Hole Course of Fontenelle Links
- If)
Many Changes
Planned for
“Muny” Courses
j
Reconstruction of Greens and
Fairways Among Important
Work to Be done at
Municipal Parks.
By RAI.PH WAGNER.
HE first step on
the part of the re
cently organized
Omaha Municipal
Golf association to
Improve the three
"muny” courses
was taken at a
meeting of the as
sociation held at
the city hall last
week.
Jack Shearman,
recently appoint
ed by Commis
sioner Hummel,
head of the municipal golf courses,
and Ben Yousem, Omaha golfer, in
spected the Fontenelle, Miller and
Elmwood park courses. A report of
the changes necessary to Improve the
links was made and at the meeting
presented to Commissioner Hummel
for approval. Hummel put his stamp
of o. k. on the proposed changes and
work of reconstruction has already
started at Elmwood.
Of all the changes outlined and pro
posed, the one making the Fontenelle
course, now composed of nine holes,
into an 18-hole course over the same
tract of ground, with very little ad
ditional expense, appears to be the one
big feature of the reconstruction
plans.
Many municipal golfers doubt
whether the Fontenelle course can be
made over Into an 18-hole course
without adding additional ground to
the present tract. "Muny” golfers
assert that Fontenelle Is the best mu
nicipal golf course because the holes
are father apart than on any of the
other two courses. By making the
present links Into an 18-hole course
would greatly shorten the distance
1'tween holes and at the earn* time
make playing sort of dangeroua, they
say.
The committee Inspecting the Fon
tenelle course said that It found the
present nine-hole course too long, dlf
flcut and tiresome. The report said
they found the fairway that lies be
tween the holes 3, 5 and 7, measures
between 250 and 300 yards and the
criss-cross of fairway could be laid
out on this basis, malting possible a
beautiful 18-hole course.
It Is also the plan of the Municipal
association to bridge the lake at Font
enelle, thereby making use of the
Island and establishing three beauti
ful holes. The lake will be used as a
water hazard.
Many other changes are proposed at
Fontenelle park, such as Improving
the tees and fairways snd construct
ing new tees where needed.
The committee believes that when
this reconstruction work at Fontenelle
course Is finished next year. It will
be one of the best 18-hole municipal
courses In the eountry.
The reconstruction of tees and
fairways and (he installation of
drinking fountains will greatly help
Kontenelle, but the changing of the
present nine-hole course into 18
holes, will not, in our hunihle
opinion, meet with the approval of
the ipajorlty of municipal golfers
or Omaha.
I'nless new acreage Is added to the
present tract, the distance between
holes will be shorter if the nine-hole
course is made into 18 holes. A dive
Into the municipal golf records of
Omaha show that Kontenelle golfers
were the last of "muny" players to
he ousted from the state and city
tournaments for the simple reason
that Kontenelle golfers were more
accustomed to the long holes than
were players from Elmwood and
Miller.
At Miller park new tees will he con
structed and repairs made to both
tees and fairways. Cement circles
around each hole on the sand greens
will he removed because a ball etrlk
ing the lip of the cement cup bounds
In the elr and makes it almost im
possible to hole a putt.
Another important change at Miller
will he the construction of a new tee
nearer to the lake, which opens np
the widest possible range of fairway
and makes a direct shot to the green.
The sand green In front of the present
green will be removed to the side, so
as to not Interfere with the approach
of No. 9 green.
Elmwood park will also get a lot of
attention In the way of reconstruc
tion. The work of Improving this
course Is expected to he completed
this year.
The enmmlttep has decided to re
move the tee at hide No. 1 so that
a better direct shot can he had at
the hole. A nine hole practice green
for putting will be Installed east of
(he fence, which will surround the
first tee. A sand green will he placed
•at the left fairway opposite No. 1
treen, to be used while the perma
nent greens are under reconstruction.
\ drinking fountain will lie Installed
at the first tee and benches will he
placed at nil the tecs. This Is good
news to the golfers. Distance mark
, is will he placpil on all fairways.
A new tee will also he placed al
right angles to Hie green af hole
No. 2, making a direct shot to* (he
— cup. \ sand green will lie placed al
I lie right of (he present permanent
green, anil will lie used while the
permanent greens are being rerun
strutted. This will hold true at all
the greens where new greens are
under ronslrurtion.

Lynch nor depreciation of Goldstein.
It is Jifct a statement of fact. Con
trary to his usual deportment. Aba
fought almost with effrontery last
night, foring matters from first to
last. It was his greatest effort In
five years of ring appearance and ap
propriately enough it gained him the
highest honors within the gift of his
division. What might have happened
had Lynch been able to make the
bantam weight limit of 11S pounds
with? ease and facility 1* an
other story and has no place here.
Suffice it to say that Lynch was
a full pound overweight when, min
us lunch, he got on the scares at
2 o’clock yesterday. Enter here with
stearilh and a bright idea Willie
Lewis, who is not only the manager
of Goldstein but so smart in b fistic
sense as to be almost unpleasant
about it.
"I won't claim j»ur forfeit. Joe,"
quoth William. "Come back In two
hours and weigh again."
The forfeit amounted to 11,260. It
is harely possible Mr. Lewis figured
Lynch would be w'orth more to him,
Lewis, than paltry, sordid dollars.
Anyw'ay Joe Lynch walked, ran,
starved, and was subjected to the
weakening process of a dry rub for
two hours In order to make weight.
Just what this effort took away
from the fighter only Lynch himself
can know. After the bout, the former
champion was quoted as saying that
never again would be fight In the
bantamweight class.
We don't know as we blame him.
It may be that Lynch is through
anyhow. It may have been that he
couldn't have beaten Goldstein lust
night' in any ease, for Abe fought
like a champion to the manner born.
Hut only a weakened Lynch could
have lost 14 out of 15 rounds, been
saved by the hell in the seeond and
ninth and (ailed In tlie tenth to
follow up a right rruss that brought
Goldstein to Ills level and virlory
lor a brief moment within reach.
Ted Sullivan plans to take baseball
players of Harvard and William and
Mary colleges, the first and second
oldest institutions of learning in Amer

Epinard Withdrawn
From Big Race
London. March 2*2.— Epinard has
been struck out of the Lincolnshire
handicap and so ends the uncertainty
which has lately kept the colt’s name
much to the front. It may be ns
sumed that M. Wertheimer s decision
to take the colt out of the race is
due to the hard weather which ha<*
lately been experienced in the dis
triot in which he is trained. For mnro
than a week Eugene Leigh has been
unable to give Epinard any strong
w’ork, owing to frost in the ground,
and it is now realized that there
could be no chance of getting th*
colt Into raring condition by the time
of the opening of the English sea
son.
No substantial amount of money
will b# lost here bv the scratching
of Epinard. for it was recognized
from the first that his appearance
at Lincoln was very questionable. A1
though st one time he was nominally
favorite for the race, only very ven
turesome folks took the odds offered.

’Pro" Golfers Not
in Favor of Change
New York. March 22— Professional
golfers seen about town the other
day were unanimous in the belief
that nothing would be gained bv
changing the sire and weight of the
ball. One argument is that the av
erage player wants to get distance,
and in fact, depends upon his drive.
Another “pro said. “Why go back
ward'’ This is a progressive age.
Golfers dn n«»t want to r»t less die
tance any more than they would
bo w illbig to forsake the present
means of city transportation for the
old fashioned horse car."
There ate all sorts of opinion*5 be
ing express *d concerning how the pro
posed new ball will affect the respec ,
tlve came* ,»f the expert and the
merely good player. Jock Hutchison
believes that the lighter and larger |
Kill will bring the star player and!
the “duffer** closer together. ' I

about the bust
ness of preparing
to tierenu ms tine
In the coming
outdoor season in
ns painstaking a
manner as has
Mickey Walker,
who holds the
throne in the we|
t e r w e i p h t dl
vision. Walker
having been rein
stated by the Net’
York boxing commission, has agreet
to fight the best opponent Tex Rick
and can find May 5.
Walker, who won the crown whet
he defeated Jack Britton, the "old
fox," early in 1922, opens his cam
paign this week, wrben he will hoi
twice. His first engagement is with
Johnny Rill in Philadelphia Mondaj
night. Friday night he will go ovei
to Boston and meet Roland Todd
middleweight champion of England
in a scheduled 1- round battle.
While these fighters are good, the;
are not apt to cause a man capabli
of giving Britton the trimmini
Walker did, serious trouble, (till i
a veteran of Pennsylvania. He ha
fought most of the good men of hit
time, but never lias been near enougl
to 1 lie* top of the division to he con
sidered a serious contender for fht
title. He is tough and may last II
sessions with the hard hitting fightei
from Elizabeth. X. J.
Todd came to this country a shor
time ago heralded as the coming
world champion, but after encounter"
with Jock Malone and a few more
good middleweight", his stock took s
decided slump. He still is considered
a high-class boxer, but is in no danger
of knocking Harry Greb loose from
the crowned jewels that rests on th*
brow of the "human windmill" from
darkest Pittsburgh.
Walker is apt to outpoint Todd
by a safe margin if tie does not
knock him out. Walker has noth
ing to lose because they are not
fighting at the welterweight limit,
Todd being unable to make that
pound ge.
Just who the New York promote:"
will be able to get for Walker May 5
is something of a problem. Sporting
writer* of the boxing center of th
universe seem almost unanimous m
their opinions that the chance should
be handed to Eddie Burnbrook, holder
of the welterweight championship of
the United States army. Burnbrook
has been boxing professionally for
some time. He is a tough customer
and pa-ks a wallop It will take such
a man to make it interesting for
Walker.
One of the bouts on Walker's list
for this season is with Benny Leon
ary'. in which I-eonard wall try to wun
the welter crown, thus holding two
championships at one time, as he is
now lightweight king, but that hattle
is still some distance ofT and Leonard
is preparing to fulfill a movie con
tract.
