inHERE arc now forty cities In this corn

'Kabul one, and while that one In the finest
'tali country, we aro ton years back of tho
'JJhtr Ctles. Both New York nnrt Boston
:fr. -ourses ten years beforo wo thought of
Ending one, nnd there nro eight or nlno
Mla courses in Chicago alone.
A public golf course was suggested for
fthli dty as far back as tlfteen years ago.
I", t Was not until threo or four years
rothst It began to look ns If we wcro go
ih to have a links. Finally a rommltteo
ln appointed to boo the Fnlrmount Park
'commissioners, nnd on it wero the prcsl
'iints of tho most Influential of our private
i riuhs. At first tno commissioners,
mm of whom play golf and have little
.oderstandlng of tho demands of golf, o.'-
ftred a nlne-holo course near tho Wlssr.-
kickon. but not one of the holM was more
Sin 350 yards long nnd to piny on It would
MCtsilUte congestion at every hole, as all
ere one-shotjers nnd It Is not clubby to

I tM fellows on tho green get out of danger.
ryeltually tho Cobb's Creek course became
l MJJlMe, and George A. Crump, Hugh Wll-
Sn, Ab Smith nnd Georgo Klauder of
i ftred to lay It out for the lovo of tho
I ftme.
Two Really Fine Clubhouses
? There aro two splendid clubhouses for
' ii and women nnd nny ono may play on
li'tti course for a year by tho payment of n
tollir, or he may piay any uay lor nuy
cents. Lockers may oo naci ior io a

'The Falrmount Park Commissioners will

to the next tew nro long. If would help
nutters a great deal If nn obliging bolt of
Uhtnlrig would strike some of the trees
iround certain of tho greens guarded by
tilt Cobb's Creek.
I After showing the necessity of diversify-
for tho recreations or mo public In parks,
Roland Cotterlll secretary of the Nntlonal
jwsoclatlon of Park Superintendents, states:
"Oolf has been more or less played In thh
country for tho last twenty-flvo years. Tho
tot municipal links wnn established In
Franklin Park, Boston, nbout 1891 W'hllo
tuny cities havo followed suit In later years.
there are only nbout sixty municipal golf
courses In the wholo country. I have com
municated with i ome seventy-nvo cities,
tartar a population of more thnn 25,000,
ud have thus arrived nt my figures."

the nvcrnge was $18,051. On twenty-two
nine hole circuits reported, construction cost
$25,000 for the highest. $1200 for the
lowest and $10,026 the average.
Golf Not Expensive Sport
Hvory year new courses are being added
to the total. Four are being built this
year and seven wero opened for tho first
tlmo In 1016 nnd six In 1016. Thirty-three
of these courses are open to the general
public without cost, while seventeen make
chnrges. The charges vary from a dollar
to ten for the year nnd for tho day from
ten to fifty cents, while In some cities a
player may get a round for as low as ten
to twenty-live cents. There nre thlrty-nlno
clubhouses which nre free to tho golfers,
but of these twenty-nine charge fees for the
lockers, and these range from a dollar to
ten for tho year.
In nearly every case the women have the
samo privilege as tho men and nt most ot
the courses thero nre loilcer rooms for the
women plajers. Onco a year a champion
ship is held and this year the eastern
championship was played at Hartford and
worcci-ter. New lork, Philadelphia, Bal

side Is Favorite
COLORED NINES .TO CLASH
The final games on the Montgomery
County baseball schedulo aro due to bo de
cided Saturday, and with the playing of
tho same will bo determined tho winner,
unless Jenklntown Innds and Glenslde loses,
and In huch an event tho series will ter
minate In a deadlock and a play-off will be
necessary.
The schedule for the concluding day
reads: Olenslde at Rcthnyres and Jenkln
town at Fort Washington. There Is n dif
ference of n gamo between Jenklntown nnd
Olenslde In the standing nnd the York rond
aggregation ls reasonably certain of being
returned a winner In Its contest, the bat
teries of which will be Morgan against
Duncan.
Bclhayres Has Good Chance
There Is considerable doubt as to whether
Olenslde will havo an easy time with
Bcthayres and the "wise ones" have n
hunch that llethayres will give tho leaders
a great battle, and many oven predict n
win for last year's champions. The pitchers
for tho occasion will be Vernon Touchstone
for Olen3ldo and Reed, formerly of Drill,
for Bethnyres. The Inst time these slab
men opposed each other Reed lost a closo
decision and Bethnyres Is out for revenge.
A series between Jenklntown and OlcnBldo
for tho title would attract enormous crowds,
as these opponents are hitter rivals.
Glenslde Is sort, according to reports, over
the recent game won from them by Jenkln
town. They claim three runs scored In
one Inning by Jenklntown wcro made after
the side should have been retired, duo to n
poor decision by the umpire.
On Labor Day Glenslde will meet the
United States Marines nnd. If successful In
landing the pennant on Saturday, will open
tho Intercollegiate serlos with the cham
pions of the Philadelphia Suburban League
on Saturday, September 8.

differentiate them from men players. Th
commonest fault I have observed Ii that
they do not do the backward swin wH.
and as n result they finish the backward
swing with the too of the club pointing up-w-ard
Instead of downward. This seems to
bo caused by n loss of control over th
wrists which may bo due to Inadequate
wrist strength, but this certainly can be
overcomo by practice and exercise of rar.
To correct It tho player should make her
backward swing more slowly than has been
her practlco nnd keep nlwayi In mind the
Idea of having tho down-stroke follow tho
samo nro of the clrclo that her backward
swing has made. It is important that this
fault be overcome if she Is going to mak
a pood Kolfer, as It results In poorly exe
cuted shots,
Instruction by a professional or by soma
skillful player who Is really able to give
Instruction Is Important to progress In the
game. Professional tenchorn always tell
mo that women nccept Instruction at the
slnrt cry readily, but after having mas
tered the first principles havo a feeling that
"thev can go it alone," nnd they refuse to
recognize the difficulties which at once de
velop Mnny ladles persist In this attitude,
with the rcrult that their progress Is ar
rested early In their golfing careers and
they seldom better their play nfter that. Of
course, a large part of tho enjoyment In
golf comes from doing It well, and a player
of either sex becomes discouraged and Is
likely to drop tho gnmo under these circum
stances. To restate the big principles women play
ers should bear In mind, let me say, "Fol
low tho samo principles In practice that are
given for men players. Guard against the
mistake, of using clubs that are too light
under the Impression that you ha-e to han
dle light clubs Use clubs that are adapted
in you inaiviauniiy, I'racuce lor a three
quarter swing rather than n half-swing and
In all other respects the same golfing prin
ciples described In my articles for men are
applicable to women. And, finally, do not
underestimate the value of professional In
struction. Even nfter you are an accom
plished golfer an occasional lesson will re
fresh your mind on llttlo points you may
havo forgotten nnd probably be productive
of new Ideas and hints that will betttr
your game."
