BRODIE i I ii Golf SHELTON-IASON COUNTY JOURNAL • ii i .... i 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. Eddy Business Service 120 South Third giant ttillcz'est smoke stack on the horizon. 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.

SIDELINE SLANT S by BILL DICKIE 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- climber football teams and maple court flash of Highclimbcr bas- ketball teams of the late thirties, is now living in Sweet Home, Ore- 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.

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.
