Will Leave Just Before New Year and Return In Time for Olympic Exhibition. Queen's University 1s going into the hockey fleld In earnest this win- ter ed a much better showing than has been made for some time may result. Nothing of a very tangible college hockey circles as yet but the colder weather and the time of year is beginning to tell on some of the young speedsters and 'they are get- ting restless. There is a considerable grigt of new material for the Tricolor this winter but it will not be definitely known for a while just what players will be turning out. Things will have to start moving pretty lively in the next two weeks in order that a team may be rounded out for the first trip of the season which will consist of a flying tour of two or three U.S. centres and a return just in time for the Olympics--Allstar game on January seventh. Harvard, Yale and New Hamp- shire will be on the visiting list of the Tricolor hockeyists and they are scheduled to leave here on Monday, December thirty-first and to be back here again on the following Mon- day. It is rather a big order, but they have waded through as big be. fore. "Duke'" M'Garry and "Red" Legon are two recruits whose names have preceded them as hockey players and it 1s said that there is a wealth of material just as promising up Some of the boys have been taking pre- liminary conditioning and by next week a whole troupe of them will be down to the grind. The Queen's list this year is the same as last year's. Two teams are entered In the O.H.A., one in inter- mediate and one in junior, and three teams in the intercollegiate. The J SPOR Seman meadaniad & + Yea Yalxersiiz--had-some-nicn last season and is said to be a real contender this year. Queen's should be stronger than before, Varsity has "heen going strong already, and Me- | Gil can be depended upon to furnish a team that will last strong tne whole three periods. ROUSH ENTERTAINS WITH NIS YEARLY PERFORMANCE What would we do without Eddie Roush? 7 Every year he hangs up his glove and his bat and announces his re- tirement from the Reds. "I gotta have more money," he raves. "I gotta have a longer contract." he moans. "I gotta be traded to a champion- ship team," he ecreams. Now comes word that Pat Moran of (Cincinnati has finally decided to get rid of his temperamental) out- flelder and is contémplating a trade with the Glants involving First Baseman Kelly and Outflelder Billy Southworth. Roush, it was stated, was paid $18,000 last season, and demands $20,000 for next summer's toil. EARLE SANDE MADE NEW RIDING MARK Earl Sande, premier United States jockey, established - a new money winning record in 1923 when he rode horses to victories that netted $444,125 to his employers, accord- fng to figures made public recently. Sande accounted for 39 important stake triumphs in the east and mid- dle west, but his most notable vic- tories were astride Zev, Rancocas stable champion three-year-old. L.™cAtee and Mack Garner, pilot of In Memoriam and other crack western horses, finished second and third in the winning list, with $118,- 795 and $105,466, respectively, the records show. The Rancocas stable broke all previous records for money winnings when its horses gathered in $435,- 590 during 1923, while Zev"s three- year-old total of $261,908 is the most any United States thorough- bred has ever earned in a single sea- senior intercollegiate schedule, strengthened by the University of Montreal entry last year, should prove a big attraction and will be watched with interest.

That's not such a Circle-Six juniors start their training to-night if the arrangements make a lot of teams step this winter NEW WAYS DEVISED FOR MAKING GREENS Southern Clubs Advance Plans Which Have Been Tried Out Successfully. * San Angelo, Texas, Dec. 18.-- Putting greens made of cotton seed hylis--refuse from the white "gold" of the Dixie plantations--is the lat. est innovation in southern golf, an innovation that has not only proved its merits in a practical way, but in an economical way as well. Cotton seed hull greens can be built at an approximate expense of $25, depending upon the size and formation of the green, The construction of greens such as exist at fashionable courses in other parts of the country entail ex- penditures mounting high Into the thousands. At the noted Lido and Pine Valley clubs, for instance, the greens that cost something like $10,- 000 to build. In some respects, of course, these greans are vastly superior to the cotton hull greens. They are more attractive to the eye, and the un- | dulations are probably more intri- | guing. ' But they are no better to putt on, and that is the important thing in considering the merits of a green. Cotton hull greens have proven so satisfactory that arrange- ments are being made to install them in most of the clubs in this part of the country. President C. W, Hobbs of the local country club explains that cotton seed hull green idea in this way: "Before building the greens must be excavated deeprenough to hold about six inches of crushed rock. A coat. ing of ofl or salt is then applied to kill vegetation. On top of this place about three inches of selected hulls, pack the hulls tightly, roll them evenly and then take out your putter and get busy," Sounds simple, doesn't it? And imagine the cost, a putting green for $25. ONLY IRISHMEN KNOW HOW. TO PLAY BALL? "Sporting News" says: Reverting to the new policy of the New York clubs, perhaps young fans will be in. terested in the notorious prodigality of the late Andrew Freedman when he owned the Giants back in 1896. Arthur Irwin, also dead, had been commissioned by Freedman to dig up some new players. Irwin disap- peared for a week and then rushed into Freedman"s office at the Polo members point with pride to certain! ders," shouted Arthur, glowing with enthusiasm. "Who are they and how much?" querfed the owner of the New York club. "I found them in New Bedford," was the hurried reply. "Their names are Lajole and Geyer." "What can they do?" "Lajole is a first baseman, oge of the greatest hitters I ever saw, and Geyer is a right fielder, fast as the wind." "How much?" "You can get them for $1,600 but you've got to act quick. Will I wire , the money to the New Bedford | Club?" "What is their nationality?" "Lajoie is a F'fenchman and Geyer a German." "Don't want "em!" ejaculated Freedman. "Only Irishmen can play ball!" . The Phillies bought Lajoie and Geyer and brought them to the Polo Grounds a fewssweeks later. The first time Lajoie came to bat he ; knocked the ball over the left field bleachers, known as "Burkville" in those days, and trotted around the bases wearing a broad grin. Freed- man, sitting beside Irwin in the stand, looked wisibly digturbed for a few moments. Then turning to his scout, he roared: "Irwin, that guy isn't a French- man at all. He's an Irishman and you are discharged for not being able to tell the difference." 'BELLEVILLE LOOKS FOR BETTER BASEBALL SOON Re-organization of Grand Trunks Is Likely--Gerow to Retire. The Ontario says: --With the 1924 baseball season still many months away and a promising hoc- key 'schedule to be completed in the meantime baseball affairs in Belle- ville are not being lost sight of; far from it.
