GOLF CLUBS ALL
WILL SOON BE FORCED TO INCREASE
YEARLY DUES OF GOLFING MEMBERS
Everything" That Goes Into the Course or Club
'Has Increased Tremendously in Cost Some
tfSutt
One Needed to Untangle Golf Problems
rTlHAT the jrolfer'H life Id not a happy one will be proved In llio next eur. In
tho first place, he must pay ten cents more for each golf ball ho uses unci
fifty cents more for every club ho hltH the sphere with. In addition ho mimt pay
the Government 10 per cent of his yearly dues. The nineteenth hole costs him
anywhere from 20 to BO per cent moro every time he plays It In par or whether ho
Is one down nnd hopelosidy beaten. Hut that Is nut all.
There Is every Indication that the pearly dues will be rnlhed by the riciiI mujorlty
Of tho thlrty-flvc clubs In the Philadelphia district. Two or three yeais uro vir
tually every Rolf club boosted the dues, but tho reasons for the new Increase are
more numerous than ever. In the first plaie, the cost of everything thut (joes
Jllto the make-up and upkeep of tho courso has Rone up In price. Not a tltifilo
thins Is cheaper. Thousands of tons of hhimI uie used In the bunkers and tee
fcoxeg. It Is tho one thine' thut cannot be dispensed with. If ou will contrast
the prlco paid for ordinary bar huiii! two years nco and what you are pajInR today
you will bo allocked.
Thousands of pounds of Rrass teed are used f.ill and sprliiR, und this, too,
has ffune up. It was possible two jeum iiro to Ret all tho uuikmrn that were
needed to cut the preens and lake the bunkers for $1.00 and J2 a day. Now the
rate has Rone up to J2.BP und $3, and still cllmblnR. The manner In which the
feed for tho horses has jumped Is somethlnR shameful. And so It is all down
tho line, and even the manures and fertlllnTH June tuken a blp Jump.
The houso committees huve felt It. nvrrythlng r.f a liquid nature tl.seu ai
tho nineteenth hole hus pone up by leaps and bounds. And all this has to pay
the war tax. The hlRh cost of living Is hleher than ever and the clubs have been
compelled to boost the prices for meals. And the cost of co.il to keep the Rolf
lube cozy and comfortablo this winter is peine to bu greater than ever.
. .
THE result of all this Is that Rolf clubs here and all over the counlt
will be forced to Increase tho dues nnyvvheio from V to $10 it
yer in tho case of tho smaller clubs and $10 to $20 for tho elRhteen-holu
clubs. There has been a lot of correspondence between the arious clubs,
and the chap who feels that his club Is rubblnR It In on him and con
templates Joining another club will soon nnd that he Is Jumping from the
frying pan Into the lire.
Boost of Club Dues Surely Coming
I
T HAS taken most of the thlrty-ilve
to reallzo that there arc from four to
November to May or from December to April It Is all going out and nothing
coming in. In the case of the club that rents Its house and links, It means that
for a quarter or a half a year rentals' mufct be paid. Tons and tons of coal are
burned and tho wages of tho steward nnd servants and the greenkecper go on
Just the same.
Two clubs here have learned the lesson and this is no longer :t bothersome
problem. Theie Is no doubt that the Meilon Cricket Club offers more for tho
yearly dues than any other cighteen-hole course around Philadelphia. In tho
first place, there are two clubhouses, one at Ilaverford on the Main l.tno and tho
other at the golf course. At Haverfoid theio are splendid tennis courts. There
,, are squash courts and bowling alleys und other tiling's! to Interest the members
during the winter. At the Main Line house are held all the dances and dinners.
Over on Ardmore avenue are the two eightecn-hole couises, but there are no
tennis or squash courts. It Is a Rolf club pure and simple.
At Ovci brook "there is something to attract tho members every month in tho
year. In nddltlon to the nlnc-holo golf course, then are dirt and turf tennis
courts. In the winter theie are bowling niiil "quash. At Overbrook the hoclal
lde of the flub is prominent and theie are dances and dinner parties throughout
tho long winter months. Diop Into other clubs in January and February when
there Is snow on the ground and you will tee tho waiters, standing around killing
time. The coal is being consumed at a lively rate, but thero :s no one In sight to
njoy the comfort, for thero Is nothing in tho club to attract the members.
ALL this has been patent to the clubs for lo! thee many jears. They
. realize that the money made during the spring, summer and fall
- - months Is needed to keep things going during the slack winter months,
and it must bo remembeied th.it Aunust Is usually a ery poor month, for
the greater part of the membership is at the hcashoro or In tho mountains.
It will soon be necessary for every club to have winter sports In order to
cut down tho expenses, for there is no money In running a big clubhouse
for the servants alone.
4 ' Golf Problems That Puzzle
JTUIERE Is no sport where there are so many puzzling rules as golf. Tho
-s average baseball fan can untangle a ball problem for you in very short order
(nd there are not so many rules In football that are confusing, although at times
they crop up nnd result in n lot of exchange of opinion. Golf Is full of thern.
-jriJke tho old problem of hitting the pin at twenty yards. How many of your golfing
friends can tell you the penalty In match and medal play? Suppose In medal play
you lose i;our ball on your drle. When you toe It again what are you playing,
three or four? If you are standing in casual water or thero Is water Intervening
on the putting green, what cm you do1 If you are playing a match and casual
water intervenes between you and the hole, and in addition you are stymied, what
happens to tho stjinlo when you lift jour ball'
If you drive toward a water hazard which cannot be seen from whero you
play' the ball and you lose our ball, can you bay that It Is lost in the hiuurd
nd lift out for tho penalty of one itroke? Wh.it Is the penalty if you play tho
other fellow's ball? What Is tho penalty If both of you play the other's ball? What
happens If you lose your ball and give up the hole and then find that tho other
fellow, too, has lost his ball?
rpiIESE are only a few problems that como up In golf every day In tho
- week. How many of them can you answer correctly? Would It not
surprise you a lot to find out that you are mistaken In half of them? Did
you ever play In a golf tournament where thero was not at least one dls.
cueslon over tome R.iif problem, nnd have you not heard half a dozen
men trying to scttlo It nnd none of them quite agreeing? What is tho
solution?
Talk Would Help Our Golf Clubs
HEKB wo havo thlr:y.lvo golf clubs right around Philadelphia. At least
twenty of them would welcome one evening during tho winter time listening
to mine one who really knows the rules settling for them these bothersome prob
lems. The proper mun to do this Is pome member of the executive commlttco of
the Golf Association of Philadelphia. Each club payu its dues and many of them
set no benefit other than receiving a bunch of schedules nnd books containing
, the list of handicaps. Hut if home member of the executive commltteo would bo
Willing to glvo two evenings c week during the winter time to visiting tho clubs
and addressing the members on golf and settling these old and bothersome prob
lems It certainly would be worth while, There would be no trouble In getting
the members out to at least one smoker a year, and In twenty minutes any intelli
gent golfer who has made a study of tho rules could straighten out a lot of kinks
for others who e'lther have no't the time or tho inclination to read tho rules.
Why would It not bo possible to get some Rood moving-pictures of somo'
first-class local professional playing all the strokes from the drlvo to the putt
and show these ut the same time? Not a great amount of footage would bo
- needed and these pictures would be of great nbslstunco to tho amateurs. At tho
, came time the professionals could show some of the faults of golf and how they
; can bo readily corrected. Thero is nothing ltl" pictures to Impress upon tho
Ktffo ijiuj; - .....,. ,

AT LEAST two of our golf clubs havo gone to the trouble of placing

Country Club followed. suit.

When the cloud'! bank in and the soul turns blue
When Fate holds fast, and you can't break through
When troubles weep like a tidal tvave,
And Hope is a ghost by an open grave,
You have reached the test in a frame of mind
Where only the quitters fall behind,
Where the far call breaks on the sleeper's dream,

under the membership system Governor
Whitman has exnressed an opinion that
there Is no law ngnlnt boxing In New York
State In legitimate, clubs, or In your own
home for that matter, nnd he sees no reason
why bouts conducted by legitimate clubs
for members of the organization should not
bo permitted. This may bo a life-saver to
the promoters. The following clubs Hroad
vvav. Clermont, Kalrmount Harlem rlrneer
Manhattan. New Polo, Military. A'-Miderbllt
and Queenshoro. have received application
for membership from 2R.O0O persons, and if
tho Governor would b content to allow
theso clubs to worl under the membership

motors should not keep things moving until
the promised McCuo stntute. "

JOURDET ISSUES
BASKETBALL CALL
Penn's Cage Candidates Re
port for First Time Next
Monday Night
MARTIN ONLY VETERAN
Football at the University of Pennsylva
nia Is Hearing its end, and plans are al
ready on foot for basketball, tbo only major
Indoor sport at the Quaker Inttltut'on. Lon
Jourdet, the coach of the lied and BIuj
quintet, has Issued a call for candidates
to rep irt on Monday night, and fortunately
there aro no cage men on the football team,
so that tho Penn tutor will bo ablo to
have his aspirants out early.
Despite the war. Jourdet has several
men of promise. There Is only ono player,
Captain Lou Martin, fr-m last year's var
sity five, but several prospects havo come
up from tho freshman five, and, although
they p,v not experienced, Jourdet believes
he can whip together a good team.
Four of the five members of the 1916-17
five are now In he service of Uncle Sam.
These are Kddle McNIclnl, Art Jefford, Carl
Kmcry and Johnny Lav In. McN'lchol Is at
Meade Jefford la down nt Augusta. Carl
Emery Is In an ambulance unit and Lavln
has been commissioned as a lieutenant In
the Infantry. j
One of tbe subs of last year's squad who
Is back Is Chester Ivory, a former 'West
Philadelphia High School player. Chct
stands nn excellent chance of landing a
regular bcith this season. Of the s?pho
mores who wlirbo out this year, Stannard
Is the most prominent, He captained tho
yearlings last season and scored moro field
g nls than any ono else on the quintet.
Paired off with Stnnnard nt forward last
year was Mlko Sweeney, the former Atlan
tic City 'High basketball and baseball star,
and the two will havo a sweet battle fight
ing for tho position as running mate to
I ou Martin. It Is probable that one of the
Ihe'two will bo Bhlfted to guard..
Lardle Davis, the tall blond-haired center
of the freshman five, is tho favorite for tho
Jump position on tho varsity this year.
Peck, a guard on tbe yearling five, also has
returned and from these six players, Jour
det believes he can select a quintet that
will compare favorably with any college
Jourdet will havo his candidates report
to him on Monday night, but lie will not
drill them. He will let his aspirants oft
with a ehorf talk and Instructions to appear
later in the week prepared for the first
practice.,
