The Southern league, although It
has five applicants, had hut one
manager present to represent his
team at the meeting scheduled for
hist Thursday evening, so the meet
ing was postponed, and the Southern
h>op will meet again In the near fu
ture, when an effort will be made to
have all the managers present and to
induce another team to make applica
tion in order to organize a six-team
league.
The other Sunday league that Is
not organized yet is the Junior loop,
tor hoys under 18 years. This league
would have been organized last
Thursday Imd Johnny Rosenblatt,
who is in charge of the Junior loop,
put in an appearance at Hie meeting,

of tlie Junior teams were present, but
became fired waiting for tlie promoter
m to put in an appearance and left tlie
ball.
But one Saturday league Is organ
ized. It i« the Commercial league,
which is .-i -aposed of players who are
I ona fide employes of the firms they
represent. Six teams are entered In
the .Saturday loop, which shows prom
ise of being one of the strongest
leagues In the Muny association.
The Industrial league, which also
plays Saturday ball, has but four
teams lined up, and If no more teams
can he obtained for this loop It may
combine with the Commercial league.
The Church and Sunday School
leagues are slow in organizing, due to
the fact that most of the ball players
that play in these leagues have been
playing In the various church and
Sunday school basket ball leagues.

*5?ahe 7^el£ttt a ft,
who finished second in Hie Metro
league.
Sara at one time was offered a
contract to play with the Omaha
Western league team, but turned it
down because he didn't care for the
professional ranks. The hefty out
fielder was a member of the old Storz
Triumph team thut used to play the
fastest traveling teams that toured
the country.
Rube has played with sucli fast
teams as the Paxton Vierlings,
Mlirphy-Did-Its. He was also a
member of the first team that Bert
Murphy hacked in 1916.
The two brothers are rocognized
by the sandlot fans as the beet model
of athletes when it comes to

Golf Course Exclusively for Women
Will Be Opened Soon in East
New York, March 22.—Golf widows
in this section will soon have their
problem solved. This Increasing set
no longer will be forced to haunt
clubs and play only at certain hours
prescribed by male officials. Just ns
soon as the weather turns favorable
for the pastime of swatting the little
pill over the landscape the first golf
club In the United States to he oper
ated exclusively for the fair sex will
be opened at Glen Cove, Gong Island.
It wall be known as flip Women’s
National Golf Ginks, and the pres
ence of masculine players will be
only on invitation.
The links are being tried out
now, hut the formal opening date
will not take place until next month.
The course Is of championship
length and Is a replica of the fea
t lire holes of the leading co rses,
with a few modernizing changes.
Most of tile ideas for the first
women's links were gathered by
Miss Marion Hollins, former na
tional title holder, who traveled ex
tensively to study various courses.
When the women begin to operate
their club they will have the satisfac
tion of matching the noted Elm Tree
club of Chicago, which Is so exclu
sively male that Rigns are displayed
forbidding women on the course. The
policy of the Kim Tree club Iris al-‘
ways been keenly criticised by lead
ing women golfers. At first it was
planned to retaliate for this slight,
but wiser counsel prevailed, and when
the Olen Cove club opens men golfers
will be permitted, but only upon in
vitation.
