Course Work is Progressing
BAYSHORE LINKS TAKING SHAPE
AS ONE OF BEAUTY, COMPACTNESS
By tile Sidaliner
Work which had been under
way for two weeks when this
Jomnal representative took . first
hand peek last Friday has given
the Bayshore Golf Course a splen-
did start in life•
:It takes no expert eye to quick-
ly surmise there will be compara-
tively little engineering or archi-
tectural work necessary to shape
the new Bayshore links because
of the natural lay-of-the-land and
the still-evident outlines of the
old Bayshore course which was
abandoned more than 15 years
ago.
J, W. Chapman, well-known
Shelton gardener who worked on
the Maple Valley qgurse near
Renton, and his son, Robert, have
heen retained to[put the new
course in playing shape. They
find the principal work is .pre-
paring tle new greens, for tte
fairways on all but one (the
ninth) hole are practically all
ready for use now---just a matter
of cutting the tall grass, "clearing
it off, and rolling the strips from
tee to green being all that'll have
to be done to the faizvays.
YWhat Goes On tIere
When the Sideliner sm,eyed
the progress made on the new
course up to last Friday he found
the Chapmans, after working ap-
proximately ten days, plus four
days' work of a bulldozer, had
accomplished the following:
1. Greens for all nine holes
shaped and contoured;
2. A dike constructed to pro-
tect the green on the second hole
from possible damage by salt wa-
ter at extreme high tide:
3. Greens No• 1, 3, 5 and 6
ready for topsoil and seeding,
their subsoil of sawdust and hu-
mus thoroughly mixed by a rote-
tiller laid as a base having al-
ready been prepared.
The greens committee of the
new golf club, which recently com-
pleted incorporation proceedings,
is highly pleased with the pro-
gress made in the short time work
has been under way on the course,
and it's easy to see why, as well
as to understand the committee's
optimism over the chances of hav-
ing the course ready for play next
spring.
Extremely compact in lay-out,
the new Bayshore golf course will
get a mammum of length from a
minimum of acreage and will be
exceptionally beautiful links.
3 Dog Legs, 2 Creek Shots
Its nine holes will cover some-
thing in the neighborhood of 2600
yards (the exact length of each
hole won't be determined until the
exact position of each tee is set)
with par to be 36 strokes under
present plans• Three of the holes
will be dog legs (No. 5, No. 7 and
,No. 8) and two will compel golf-
ers to shoot across John's Creek
No. 7 and No. 9)/ Two holes (No.
2 and No. 7) will be par fives,
two (No. 4 and No..9) will be par
threes, all the rest par fours.
They'll vary in length from the
110 yard ninth to the 500 yard
second. Hole-by-hole, these are
the statistics:
No.i--400 yards, par 4
No. 2-500 yards, par 5
No. 3---400 yards, par 4
No. 4--170 yards, par 3
No. 5--265 yards, par 4 (do g
leg)
No. 6--325 yards, par 4
No. 7--480 yards, par 5 (do g
leg, crossing creek)
No. 8355 yards, par r4 (d 0 g
leg )
No. 9-~.110 yards, par 3 (cross-
ing creek.
The hole most golfers who play
the Bayshore layout will fall in
love with probably will be No. 7.
Its approximate 500 yards tee off
at a point fairly (:lose to the
planned Sit of the caddie he, use
(just a few yards off the Bay-
shore Road, across from the Bay-
shore store). The first 400 yards
of No. 7 fairway head directly
toward Bayshore point, the last
100 yards bear to the right direct-
ly toward Oakland Bay, crossing
John's Creek approximately half
way on the dog-leg. The back-
ground of this dog-leg section of
No. 7 is the prettiest sSene of the
entire course, with a small fruit
orchard surrounding the green be-
hind which lies the full sweep of
the bay topped by Rayonier's
INSURANCE POLICIES
Read well your insurance policies. To discover
ignorance, at time of loss, is oft times tragic.
Ask us, without any obligatiol00 at all, to read and
explain your insurance. Don't be sorry, be in-
sured.

No. 8 Is Eye-Catcher
No. 8 is another particularly
pretty hole. Its green has been
hewed out of the woods and is
surrounded on" three sides by fir
trees and native vines and shrubs
for a beautiful background. This
green has been more work than all
the others combined because it
had to be cut from the woods and
underbrush. The dog-leg section
of No. 8 is an uphill slope to the
green.
No. 2 is also a beauty, its tee
lying so close to the water that
the greens committee took th.e
precaution of having a dike con-
structed as insurance against pos-
sible damage which salt water
might do to the green at some ex-
ceptionally high tide.
Wl]ile those three holes probably
will take the ye of those who
play the course, the remaining six
holes each have their own beauty
points and go to making up what
unquestionably will be as neat
and trim and compact a nine-hole
links as the Northwest possesses.
Nor will few be able to boast
greens as roomy as the Bayshore
course will possess, come next
spring when the golf bug nips
most persistently.
Even these inexpert eyes can
see good golfing in the offing for
Sheltonians over the Bay,here
nine next year.

tern which he decided to accept
instead, hence his absence from
the aforementioned list of 1947-48
Shelton teachers.
The bowling alleys have recent-
ly received their annual resurfac-
ing and Panl Berets is set for the
opening of the 1947-48 season next
week. Which brings to mind the
fact that Elms recently enjoyed
the opening of its first ten-pin
alleys in several yearstwo lanes
at the town's largest sporting
goods center.
Walt Nash, one of Shelton's
staunch sports followers, had in-
side dope on that big player trade
completed by Seattle and Sacra-
mento recently through his per-
sonal friendship with an executive
of the Emil Sick organization,
and the Shelton appliance store
operator knew some time ahead
that the deal was in the making.
WHAT'S BECOME OF --
Homer Cooper, tow - headed,
half-pint scat-back of the High-

ketball teams of the late thirties,

gon, making his bread-and-butter
dealing in real estate, where he is
a fellowtownsman with his older
brother, Buzz, also a Highclimber
grid and hoop luminary of the
early thirties.
VACATION VIGNETTES
Nestled on the banks .of the
Bogachiel River up in Clallam
County is a neat little ranch on
which ex-Forest Service Ranger
Jim Anderson has semi-retired
and where the Sideliner spent an
enjoyable vacation evening re-
cently listening to a couple of
life-long woodsmen swap yarns
and renew acquaintances.
During, the course of the eve..
ning ex-Pnger Anderson told[
of a bantam hen on his ranch
wldcb seemed to have a yen for
wild mates. This year the hen
had mated with a Chinese
pheasant ,.to produce an off-
sprlug oddity in the feathered
flly of fowls. Last year the
same en had mated with a
blue grouse, and reared another
queer family,
Cock of the Anderson bantam
flock learned not to mess with
the wild intruders that year for
he received a couple o'f sound
thrashing, when his resentment
of the grouse's intrusion into his
harem led to a feathery fracas.

PINMEN POISED TO OPEN BIGGEST
ALLEY SEASON HERE NEXT WEEK
Thursday,
Shelton's busiest bowling sea-
son rings up the curtain next
Tuesday night when the eight-
team women's league opens com-
petition on Paul Beret's maple
lanes at 6:45 p.m. followed in quick
succession by the commercial lea-
gue on Wednesday nigh% the Simp-
son League on Thursday evening,
md the city league on Friday•
The community's fifth league
Rayonier's eight-team circuit --
waits until September 15 for its;
1.9,t7-48 season debut, but will be!
a regular Monday night pin ac-
tivity at the Shelton Recreation
Alleys thereafter.
Opening pairings in Tuesday's
feminine matcnes send MeConkey
Pharmacy against Mason Laundry
and Shelton Cash Grocery against
Mac's corner on the seven o'clock
shift, Do[son's Goodrich Store
against Pantorium Cleaners and
Ritner's Corner against Werberg-
er Winery in the nine o'clock
bra clcer,
,Vith all five leagues being eight-
team units averaging at least six
kegelers per squad, there'll be
right in the neighborhood of 250
bowlers in action here this win-
t er, well over 200 individuals al-
lowing for duplications which will
occur with a few bowlers compet-
ing in two leagues.
Independents Out-of-Luck
Even more so tha last year it is
evident that a bowler must be a
member of some team in one of
the five leagues in order to get
time on the Shelton Recreation al-
leys this year, for which league
play occupying the first five
nights of each week, only Satur-
day and Sunday evenings remain
for the independent trundler.
Last year parts of each Thurs-
day evening were open for unat-
tached pinmen, but the addition of
the Simpson Logging Company
league to this year's pin popula-
tion erases Thursdays from the
open time. Last year four-team
men's and women's leagues com-
peted on alternate Thursdays,
leaving the time from approxi-
mately 9 p.m on open to non-
competitive rolling, but neither
league was reorganized this year
vice-president, and Bruce Thorpe
for secretary-treasurer.
The other three leagues all have
single changes to note for the com-
ing action• In the women's league
it's a case of name change only,
the former Pastime entry this year
campaigning under the banner of
Johnny Do[son's Goodrich Store.
It'll be the same team but another I
name, that's all.
Lake Cushman Moves Up
The city league gains Allie Rob-
inson's twice-champion Lake Cush-
man Resort squad of the returner- !
cial league as replacement for
Reed Mill, which will confine its
pin action to the Simpson league,
while the Commercial League ac-
quires the Simpson Electricians (a
new team entirely) to replace Lake
Cushman• Othezvise sponsorships
in all three leagues are the same
as last year.
.For the most part the Same
faces again will be manning the
same teams in these leagues (in-
cluding Rayonier squads)• Princi-
pal manpower changes occur on
the L.M.'s city league team, the
Olympic Plywood entry in the
Commercial league, and Ritner's
Corner women's league entry• The
L.M. this season expects to re-
cruit its pinmen entirely from
within the store's personnel, which
means Pete Roberts, Emery Lin-
deman and Frank Gibler won't be
firing for the Merks this season,
leaving only Bab Stewart and Buck
Mackey of the old roster.
Olympic Plywood will have only
two of its 1946-47 squad back this
year---Harold Ahlskog and Bill
Dick[e--so will have a lineup of
two-thirds newcomers for next
Wednesday's opening. Hans BeAn
has moved to Tacoma, Nick Day-
[scour[ works nights, Marion Smith
and Percey Funk have commit-
ments with Simpson league teams.
To take their places the veneer-
men have added Bob Holt, Bob
Miller, Bob Fletcher and Wiff Jes-
sup.

Ritner's Corner also will have to
rebuild rather thoroughly for the
coming feminine schedule, for At-
WE CAN BE PROUI)
Football muscled into the spbrts
picture with its usual September
vigor, but before we wrap the
baseball season up and stow it
away for the colder months it
should be worth a moment's re-
flection on achievements of Shel-
ton diamond aggregations during
1947.
A comportable, pleasant warm
feeling of pride is the result.
Starting with the high school
nine which was the first to
cmnpaign during 1947--bamk in
AprllShelton fans happily re-
call how the HighcJimbers ran
up a season's record of 15 vic-
tories in 19 games to win the
so-called "Central" d I v i s i o n
Southwest Washington t i t I e.
Tltat they bowed to Hoquiam,
5 to 4, ill the inter-divisional
playoff was the one sad note to
an otherwise graml seasou for
the Hlghcllmbers and hardly
convinced some 2000 Shelton-
inns who witnessed that game
that the best team won.
While the Highclimbers wz-e In
the middle of their season, the
Shclton Loggers got started on
the Evergreen League schedule
and for the first half of the year
looked like champions, in fact
topped that amateur loop at the
end of the first half of play with
five victories in six games, all
five triumphs coming in road
games to contribute to a high feel-
ing of optimism that the Loggers
would have a heavy advantage
with so many home games dur-
ing the second half.
However, the town team tail-
spinned very badly in the second
half of its season and wound up
with a league record of six wins
against eight losses and a season
mark of nine victories and eleven
defeats.
Following the high school sea-
son, Shelton's junior legion club
became the fans' favorites and
breezed to the Fourth District
title.with 13 straight victories.
Its only defeat of the year fol-
lowed in a heart-breaker at
Bremerton, 2 to 1, to the club
width went on to win the state
championship. In post-seson,
non-titular competition Shelton
added the scalps of Aberdeen
and Hoqulam, tile latter ]0tit
District champions, so wound
up with a season's victory string
of 15 against a lone loss. •
Lumped altogether, then, these
three Shelton teams compiled a
1947 record of 39 victories against
16 defeats. Which seems suffic-
ient excuse for any Sheltonian
to pop a button or two off his
vest in any baseball conversation.
Another thing which added
spice to the 1947 baseball calendar
for Shelton fans was the intro-
duction of Loop Field's new lights,
which provided night ball in this
community for the first time in
its existence.
SPORTING AROUND
Speak of the devil and up he
pops, an old adage goes, which
isn't to classify Norm Harris with
that horned ruler of the hot place
in any way, but the Sideliner had
been thinking about the former
Highclimber pitching luminary for
several days when into The Journ-
al office he walked last week.
Norm was here vacationing with
relatives and friends and dropped
in to hash over some of the old
days when he was hurling Shel-
ton high school and junior legion
ball teams to victories in the late
thh'ties. Now living in Riverside,
Calif., where hc is employed in a
hank, Norm is no longer playing
baseball -- just a little fasthall
now, Norm says.
Andnother "welcome home"
lately ent to Tom Kldwell, for-
met Highclimber football and
baseball letterman, now sailoring
for Uncle Sam's navy at San
Diego. Tom's athletic activities
are confined principally to swim-
ming competitions and exhibitions.
In fact, Tom reports that for some
time the members of the team
had no other.navy assignments.
Many were perhaps surprised
in reading the list of city faculty
members this paper published last
week to fir+d Walt tlakola, former
Highclimber football and track
coach, missing from those listed,
especially after it was 'announced
earlier in the summer that he had
acepted an offer to return to the
Shelton system t5 handle phys-
icM education in the junior high
and grade schools. However,
while on the verge of signing a
Shelton contract, "Hak" received
an offer in the Seattle school sys-
