Club Is Very Popular.
tn tha sprlnir of 18H the Torresdnto
Golf Club wA formed, and by the cour
tesy ttf tho late John M. Mnck, wns per
mitted to begin Its first jenr upon his
private srolf course. At first many peo
ple were skeptical as to the outcome ot
the club, for almost all of the members
were entirely without experience In the
same, and It was feared that the people
would not thke enough Interest. How
ever, from the very opening day the club
was most successful and irrew tapldly
until the links becamo crowded.
Then as this cronueu condition Increased the
players becamo more and n ore expert at me
tame, unill everyone acsired a harder course.
After a careful search, a committee appointed
for. the purpose round n suitable, place upon

not been plowed for oer 20 ears. and ex-
perts hae suld that with a little, inre It
would, make nine or the finest turf around
Philadelphia. ,Near tho future site of tho
clubhouse Is a wide stream that flows with
many tvrlstlnga and turnings across the course,
forming a very good hazard.
The peculiar lull 01 the ground makes' It
highly suitable for golf, as there ore no twu
holes that are similar ncn though there are
but nine holes to tho course there will be
seme shots that will puisle experts, creek,

For a clubhouse a eery artistic old farm

With all these naturnl advantages, this club

ROWING INJURIOUS?
NO! SAY WESTERNERS
Wisconsin Alumni Declare
Faculty Has Not Ruled
Fairly in Abolishing Sport.
Ab a result ot the abolition of Inter
collegiate rowing; at tho University ot
Wisconsin on account ot "physical In
juries received from participation In
trio sport" the athletic committee ot the
Alumni Association has Just completed
a thorough Investigation ot tho situation
and has come to the conclusion that row
ing; does not result as the faculty stated
in Us explanation for abolishing the
sport last autumn.
A report of the findings of the committee,
of which Walter Alexander, of the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission and a former varsity
oarsman. Is chairman, and on which are Ixiuls
D. Summer, of Madison. Lnn Williams, nf
Chicago, and Nelson Falk, of Lake .Mills, will
b turned over to the president of the- asso
ciation within the next two weeks, when it
is entirely completed.
Among Its findings will bo the following
First. All crow men have been pronounced
by the unlversl y nvdlcal faculty to be phjs-
Ically fit for participation In all forms ot lnter-
.colleglatf sports.
second, lnfomatlon received from former
Wisconsin oarsmen la that no after effects have
been experienced by them as a result of their
Thtra. Rep'orta and statistics from medical
advisers and athletic directors without excep
tion contradict tho action taken by tho Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Fourth. No consideration having been given
to the beneficial effect, we feel that both sides
of the question have not been fairly repre
sented. Fifth. If rowing Is now to be dropped and
later resumed, as haH been suggested by tho
athletic director, we feel that this will result
tn a setting back ot this sport for at least
ten years
Sixth. The time will soon be at hand when
many of tho Middle West colleges will be
supporting crews, preliminary steps having
been taken In that direction.
Seventh, The natural facilities at Wisconsin
are particularly adapted for this kind of sport.
Klghth. This Is acknowledged to be the
cleanest form of Intercollegiate sport and re
sults In the most wholesome advertising for the
university.
Ninth. So long as ample funds are avail
able far maintaining this sport the expense
should not bo considered.

After Iluck Thomas had opened up a good

Why Is golf like olives'
It's merely a matter of getting started, for
once the gnmoTs sou the toato Is lasting
I'tirthermore, who ever heard of a person
liking olives beginning with the first cast of
the harpoon Into the bottle'' "It can't be did "
No truthful person after eating his first olivo
dared say ho nJoed It, any more than one
can become enthusiastic over golf before ha

fast that there Is nothing more engrossing
and that It enslaves practically all Its subjects

EVANGELIST LABELS
PASTOR RUSSELL "OLD
GRAFTING IMPOSTOR"
Dr. Nicholson Also Pays
Respects t o Christian
Scientists "'Mother'
Eddy a Fake," He Tells
Audience at 'Chester.
(most A staff conrtr-si ompknt.
GHRSTCn, Pn April 3-Chrlitlan Sci
entists nnd student-) of tho Pnslcr Ilussel
International Bible class In this city aro
Indignant today over the bitter nttnrlt
against their respective beliefs by tho
Rev. William P. Nicholson at a revival
service Inst night In the Nicholson-Hem-mtngcr
tabernacle. The evangelist as
serted that "ttussel, the old, whlskcrel,
divorced, grafting lmposter, Is hnlf way
to hell already." He characterized Chris
tian Sclenco as "the most ridiculous, II
logical and nonsensical trash ever heard
of"
"Mother Udrly," he said, "was a fake,
pure nnd simple, and If you want to vHIt
her now you will need an asbestos en
velope, for she died as she lived. Oh, It
people must go to hell, why can't they
do It decently."
Tho evangelist's sermon last nlsht waa
on "JInrred Vessels," the text helm? "And
tho vessel ho made of clay was marred
In the hands ot tho potter." Although
the service was Intended primarily for
women. It was one which held tho In
terest of both men and women from be
ginning to end.
"MAimED VESSELS" IN CHURCHES
"The clny was marred In tho hands ot
the potter," Doctor Nicholson said shortly
after opening; his sermon. "I tell you that
the ministry of our day Is marred In the
hands ot the Almighty Potter b ylts
efforts to cater to tho wealthy, nnd tho
chutches aro marred by so-called 'high
class music' and elaborate stained-glass
windows In memory ot some half-damned
person's parent or relative.
"Alan linn marred his life by the use ot
tobacco," ho continued. "How would you
like to seo ycur wife chew nnd smoke
tobneco, nnd when you went to kiss her
hear her say, 'Walt till I spit,' or 'Walt
till I light up," and then spit nnd putt?
Well, let mo tell you men that sho has
every bit as much right to do It as you
have. Why, I would rather kiss a clean
hog than a tobacco-chewing man, nnd I
don't see how some ot you women can
bring j ourselves to kiss your husbands.
Tobacco using Is it dirty, filthy habit, and
nobody can deny that.
ATTACKS THOSE IN DEBT.
"Another thing that mars many
church members and ofTlclals Is this
damnahle habit ot being In debt, tho
evangelist snld. "What do you sup
poso the men jou deal with think ot
your religion when you fall to pay what
jou owo them? It Is a sin to live nbovo
your means. Some of you women have
ordered new Easter bonnets nnd you
know that you cannot afford them and
can't pay for them. You have no busi
ness to do It, and you know that just
as well as I do."
The evnngellst attacked one vice utter
another. Ho denounced the moving pic
ture theatre habits ot Impatience and
irritability, false prldo nnd other human
frailties. When ho had ended his sermon
there weio tow ot his hearers who did
not admit they had been scorched by tho
evangelist's tire,
A large attendnnco Is expected at the
tabernacle tonight. Among tho delega
tions which will attend are 300 emplovcs
of the Glmbel store, of Philadelphia, and'
practically all of tho "Blly" Sunday tab
ernacle ushers.
