wdwne Is spending millions to find Just what Is the chief 'causo of Infant mortality.
.Once upon a time a Phlladclphlan who realized that golf Is Impossible In a
fresrt measure around Philadelphia from December to April, and who did not see
tire Ticcesslty of going south for golf during the winter months, conceived the Idea
t finding some place within less than an hour's ride from Philadelphia where It
WttM be possible to play golf the year round. He spent several years looKIng for
jMt-ueh a property. Finally he found a strip of ground, a mile and a half long
la half-mile deep, which apparently
was nothing but a mass of scrub
WWrbrush.
1 To most men It looked like a hopeless proposition, but his were the eyes of
a dreamer nnd he could visualize In It ono of the finest golf courses In the world.
o one day, with some of his friends, he visited the property. It was an almost
impossible task to walk over the property, but out of the dream rose the reality. He
d Hot go to any one for financial aid. He obtained the finest golf-course archi
tectln the Old World. It was necessary to dig out stumps after the trees were
tried, and Lfter they had pulled 28,000 stumps every one quit counting. At flrst

Where this stretch of Impassable forest once stood what Is recognized as the finest

liNCE upon a tln'0 a rnl,a(JelPnlan conceived the Idea of having the
finest golf club house In the world and of having a course where at
all times It would be possible for men to play without being handicapped
,ty a congested course. Some say the Idea came as the result of his visit
with some friends to a popular course. When they got there they found
difficulty In getting locker room. The caddies were few and the course
Jrjras crowded, and out of this condition arose his dream. He, too, believed

1IKE the other Phlladelphlan, he did not call upon any onj for help. He, tpo,
Jdug down In his pockets, bought the proptrty and bej.an constructing the
course and the clubhouse. He hired a chef at a fancy price and kept him Idle for
two or three months because he did not want to lose him. And soon the course
wasbuilt and soon the magnificent clubhouse arose. Some one asked him after It
was built how many members he had, and he replied there was one, and that' was
Mmself. And the course and the clubhouse up to date have cost him more than
0rt00.
JS'elther of the last mentioned Philadelphia millionaires worried at any time
whether they were going to have members. If you had asked either of them If he
xptcted to get his money back he would probably have said that he did not

Q8T golfera believe the United States
the officials went to Washington last
f "War Baker and then came home and announced that It was the wishof the
War Department that no championships should be held. Possibly the busiest
man In Washington today, outside of tho Piesldent, Is Mr. Baker. It Is very
Hkely that after the golf officials returned home he forgot all about golf. At
11 events. President Wilson came out later In a public statement In which ho
highly approved of Americans participating In all branches of athletics.
The decision not to hold championships held good, and there is no doubt that
hi the case oftthe national amateur championship It was good Judgment. Hul
With reference to the open and the women's It was not. The U. S. G. A. started
the seabon well by suggesting that nil tho clubs hold a Liberty Day tournament
n the Fourth of July for the war fund. But there they stopped.
fcflnco then this work has been undertaken by individual clubs, and If it had
ot been for them little or nothing would have been done. It Is strange. In view
mt the "ict that thousands of golfers have gone to the front, no action has been
taken either by the United States Golf Association or by the Golf Association of
jrfhlladclphlu to make their stay at the front more comfortable. Christmas -Is
settling, but no word has come from either organization to the clubs belonging
to them to send Christmus boxes to the men at the front.
. , . .
WITH the exception of the patriotic tournament and the few tourna
ments held by the local association, nothing has been done to get up
tournaments for the benefit of J;he war fund. The Evkninq LuDOKn,
through the courtesy of tho Whltemarsh Valley Country Club and Messrs.
Evo Maxwell, Buxton, Barnes and Loos, has staged two Important
tournaments for war relief, and these have netted nearly $1000, The
Hui...t.sdon Valley Country Club has staged a third. What has the
local association been doing all this time?
Where National Body Slipped Up
ALL over the country there have been exhibition matches for the lied Cross
.and tho Soldiers' Tobacco Fund. Evans himself has played In fifty-one "of

-fifcWwl all over the country only three have been held In this city and In not one
if them has the Golf Association had the slightest thing to say. While the
U, S, Q. A. did not intend to do so and while they acted from the best of motives,
Wttwtaken as they were, tho action of calling oft two of the tournaments and In
falling to award a title In the third did a lot of damage to the game. But If
the U. 8. G. A. had followed it up by staging a lot of first-class exhibition matches

BOB FOLWELL HAS
SECRET PRACTICE
Perm- Tutor Instructs Ma

trol the Sidelines
EDDIE MAHAN WILL PLAY
A cloud of secrecy was thrown over the
parade grounds of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard this morning when Hob Folwell, coach
of the University of Pennsylvania football
eleven, took charge of Captain Hogan's
United States Marine footbvl( squad. Upon
reachlrfg the navy yard this morning Fol
well Immediately asked for fifteen men not
engaged In the practice. The fifteen ma
rines were then stationed around the parade
grounds and patrolled the side lines through
out the work-out.
After putting the candidates through a
short, snappy signal practice, Folwell lined
the men up for scrimmage play. The new
tutor drove the two teams In regular Fol
well style, which has brought success to
the Red and Blue elevens.
Folwell Is Optimistic
The men were sent around the parade
grounds four times on the run to finish the
v morning practice. This afternoon they will
have another drill under the direction of
Captain Eddie Mahan, as Folwell believes
that all the marine team needs Is plenty of
tiff work to get It In good physical con
dition. Folwell Is very optimistic about the
chances for a marine victory In Saturday's
contest, and atUed that Kddle Mahan, Scott
and Urary Williams would positively be tn
the marine line-up when they take the field
agalnat the Usaacs. ,
Usascs Stan Out of Game
The Usaacs ran against a snag yesterday
when It was found that Mike Murphy and
Jack Dunn, the fro first-string pilots, are

as follows Newman against Zahn. Har

Lawrence, and Kranckle handled Crowble,
while Lloyd took care of Davidson. Tho
Churchmen played fairly well In the first
half, which ended In a tie at 10 all. They
kept pace with the home contingent until
the middle of the second half, when several
field goals In succession gave the home five
a commanding lead.
Newman was first to tally, landing a foul
goal, and Davidson followed suit Zahn's
one-pointer shoved the Greys ahead, but a
second penalty shot by Newman evened the
going at 2 A foul by Davidson and the
first field goal of the game by Lawrence
Jumped the totals to 5-2 Several one
pointers were added, and the figures were
even at 0 on Lloyd's foul. They were also
tied at 7. 8 and 10, at which the half ended.
The going was fairly even In the second
half, although Trenton nssured a five-point
lead right at the start on a field goal by
Tome and a foul and field goal by Lloyd.
The numerals then ran 15-12, 17-U, 19-16,
22-16, 20-17, 29-17, and In the last minute

HERMAN DEFEATS
FRANKIEBURNS
Bantamweight Champion
Too Fast and Too Young
for Challenger
LARGE CROWD SEES BOUT
N.EW ORLEANS. Nov. 6
Pete Herman, the bantamweight cham
pion, won the decision over Frankle Burns,
of Jersey City, in a twenty-round bout here
last night Youth, speed and Btrength were
too much for the challenger, who- Is twenty
eight ears old. Two jears ago Burns
knocked out Herman In the twelfth round
and the New Orleans youth got his revenge
lust night although he was not able to
knock his man out.
Herman UBed his lightning left to the
body and the stomach for the flrst punch.
He outguessed Burns at every move. He
landed right and left to the body at will,
played a tnNoo on tho Jerseylte's face and
cut Bufns's mouth. It was Herman's round.
To open the second round they went Into
a clinch and Pete made Burns back' up.
Burns landed a let to tho body and then
Herman staggerccT the challenger with a
left to the Jaw. They were clinched when
the bell sounded. "This, too, was Herman's
round.
In the eighth Herman was cautioned
nbout hitting low In these exchanges. The
round was even. Burns ventured an open
exchange In the ninth, but he was routeo
disastrously. Herman's round. Burns
showed better In the tenth and earned the
honors.
The champion earned the honors in the
thirteenth. After an exchange of-rlghts and
lefts Burns landed a left to the face and
a right to the body. Tho crowd cried 'foul,"
but the referee did not see the punch. The
low blow did not hurt Herman, for In the
next Instant he rushed the Jersey fighter
around tho ring and Jabbed him with rights
and lefts to the face, body and Kidneys.
The seventeenth round was even. Frankle
came out of his trance In this session and,
by landing several good swings and Jabs
to the champion's face and body, managed
to divide the honors.
Herman earned the honors In the eight
eenth. He landed a score of blows to the
face, head and kidneys, while Burns's ef
forts to "wind" the champion with blows to
the stomach were In vain.
Herman was married here Sunday night
to Miss Anna Leblanc, of this city. The
wedding had been set for today, .but Her
man desired It to take place before his
fight with Burns

"The sand of the desert is sodden red,
Red with the wreck of a square that
broke
The patting jammed and the colonel dead
And the regiment blind with dust and
smoke."
The river of death has brimmed its banks,
And England's fame oriel honor a name.
Out the voice of a schoolboy rallies the
ranks,
"Play upt Play up! and play the game,"
Too many millions In America have been
taught the worth of playing -out the gams
not to be ready for any shock that may
strike with whatsoever force.
If the war situation in this country
seems rasping now, think of the early
Americans of only 150 years ago, who had
to hold a hoe or an ax In one hand and
a rlflo In the other, with an Indian aim
ing from almost every other tree.
"Many are called, but few are chosen"
was hardly written of the army draft.
HUGGINS, AS 'PROCTOR,'
WAS INTERSTATE STAR
At That Time Was Student at
University of Cincinnati and
Playing Under Alias
"Dopesters" have lost a chance to pick
up a few stray dollars because of the fact
that they have be"en unable to present to
the fan public tho playing record of Miller
James Huggins, new Yankee manager, when
he was a member of the Mansfield, O., team
of. the Interstate League In 1899.
The reason this "dope" never has been
spread before the enthusiasts-Is that the
statisticians did not know that Hug. at that
time attending the University of Cincinnati,
was doing the Kddle Collins and IM Iteul
bach stunt and pastlmlng under an alias.
Huggins, in Mansfield In 1899, wns known
as "Proctor," and he played In forty games
for the Interstate Leaguers, scoring twenty
runs, making thirty-one hits and having a
batting average of .259. "Proctor" played
third In eleven games and short In seven
teen, his averages In these two positions
being .909 and .926.
Some of "Proctor's" associates In the
Interstate League of eighteen years ago
were Nick Altrock, comedian concher of
the Senators; Bob Gliks, who has been
scouting for two years for Hugglns's new
team ; "Jlggs" Donohue, later famous flrst
baseman of the White Sox nnd since dead ,
Johnny Dobbs, now managing New Orleans;
Charley Frank, the Atlanta leader; Uarle
Moore, for many years a star pitcher on
the two circuits ; "Long 'Bob" Ewlng, who
lasted In the majors about as long as Moore,
and "Tacks" Latimer, thq "Hubo" Wad
dell of backstops.
