Arnie Belanger, last year‘s goalie, has been snatched up by the Sudbury Wolves. Schumacher and Kirkland lake have respectively claimed Doug Sullivan and Ray Little, sturdy defencemen of yesterysar. The famous Rawdust is also being used to fill in the spaces under the fioor boards of ‘the walks and the platforms at either end. In addition to insulating the ics from the ground, the sawdust will serve as a, cushion so that changes in size of the surface due to temperature may be taken up without destroying the level. Because golf is inseparably associatâ€" ed in the minds of Russians with plus fours, a garment seen only on foreign tourists, Mr. Macomber has made a point of informing the Soviet officials that it is possible to play golf in any costume. It is safe to predict, howâ€" ever, that if golf appeals to the Rusâ€" sian public, the state clothing shops will soon find plus fours sufficiently proletarian to be sold. Russia as soon as Mr. Macomber reâ€" turns in a week. The American Ambasâ€" sador, Mr. Bullitt, a keen golfer, will drive the first ball on Leninhills Field, on the outskirts of Moscow, where the Americans recently introduced baseâ€" ball. Thereafter, groups of Russians will be instructed in the rudimentary prinâ€" ciples of the game, which is quite unâ€" known in Russia, and has been despised for many years as an individualistic bourgeois sport. According to recent despatches from Moscow, Leonard Macomber, a Chicago engineer, who has submitted to the Soâ€" viet organization a proposal to conâ€" struct a number of golf courses, and who undertakes to provide initial inâ€" struction in the gams, is now touring Caucasian, Black Sea and Crimean reâ€" sorts to fing the most suitable sites for the courses.
