Tho first of the metro- jhfJNriltan clubs to have a similar lajout will be the B.iltusrol Golf Club. Within Cth next ten years there will bo nt least a half dozen clubs In the Philadelphia trlct which will have either an additional clghtccnholo links or a nine-hole purse, No other game that was ever Introduced Into this country has had tho Lwonderful growth that has marked golf. With a million licr-sons playing It, with JSftur thousand courses In every section In tho United States, with a hundred moro 3. springing up every year, only one other snort Is able to compare with It In popu- 5. lrlty, and that Is our national game, baseball. The last-named sport will always ' Bo popular, but when wo compare tho numbrr of the followers of baseball who play with the golf (lends who play there Is no comparison worthy of notice. a rTIHERE are a million golfers and they all play the game. There are several millions of baseball fans and most of them watch the others play. The baseball fan gets his pleasuro seeing others play, while the golf enthusiast gets his by playing himself. And golf has done at least one thing. It has made the chap who watched others play baseball and football get out Into tho open and play.

Naturally a golfer who wants to play at tho Country Club would not think of asking his host to take him there on tho das mentioned. Phllmont only recently purchased enough property to build an extra elghteen-hole course. Tho present intention Is to revise tho course a bit, lengthening the present second, eliminating entirely the present sixteenth hole and in addition building a nine-hole course. Phllmont has so many playing members that the present course doVs not begin to accommodate them on Saturdays, Sundays and holldavs. The extra nine-hole course can bo used by the women fjjw'and tho beginners on those days, leaving tho elghteen-hole links for those Who play better and who are of the sterner sex. Eventually another nine 'holes will be added, but the extra nine will not only do away with the congestion, but It will enable the club to have all the facilities of two eight- K& ten-hole, ,c'ourscs.

They will tell you at the Philadelphia Cricket Club that if the members who are entitled to golf privileges were to run out to St. Martin's on any ono day in the week about three hundred of them would have to go home, for It would not be possible for tho course to accommodate them. There hao re Been days at Cobb's Creek when more than 300 were playing ami on ouimmis Day, 1316, there were 47G men and women playing over 1110 course. NORTH 1I1LI.S for some tlmo has been seriously thinking of adding nine boles to the present eighteen. The I.u I.u Tcmplo Country Club will at no far distant day havo another eighteen-hole course. The Philadelphia Country Club would like to have nlno more holes, but there Is not enough land available to lengthen home of the present holes. Possible Women's Course at Pine Valley THERE Is enough land at Pine Valley to build a dozen courses, but the members will bo perfectly hultcd when tho other four holes of tho present course will be ready for play. But ono cf these days It Is fairly certain that George Crump will bnlld a course for women. It will not be a man's course, but every holo will be constructed for women's play. If ou will take the trouble to ask some of our best women players what they think of their home courses you will be surprised to have them tell you -.hat not a single hole, ven the ono-shotters, suitu the women players. Tako tho four short holes "at Merlon and how many women can play them with an Iron? How many women have you been playing the short ninth with anything but a driver, brassey or spoon? To reach the twelfth green in two shots for the women players Is Impossible. The next time you happen to play around your course with one of the wvomen players notice tho difference in the use of the clubs. You both will take a driver at every two or three shot hole and on the green you will use a putter, but there the similarity ends. When It comes to tho second shot, unless It Is a brassy for the man, tho woman player will be using the wood when her companion is playing an Iron. And If tho shot Is an iron shot for the woman sho will be using a mldiron '- where the man Is playing a mashle. There Is Just as much difference between ! tho ordinary man and woman playing golf as there is between Jim Barnes Kand the average amateur. Barnes hits such long tee shots that on most of the two-shotters at Whltemarsh he can play a niblick for his approach. . .. .. . ,. ,- l ,.l1. .

And that Is just the difference between most men lS and women. Every .low and then you will find somo woman who can step up tab to the tee and drive even with the men and In many cases outdrive them, Igjfctf hut these instances are rather rare. w tin t George Crump should decide later to build a course for women only there Is no doubt It would be a wonderful links. Take a trip out to Cobb's Creek on Saturday If the day Is fair and notice how many women are playing. It will open your eyes. If there wcro a course In Philadelphia which would be restricted to women It would have a tremendous membership. Just Imagine such a course where the men would net be allowed to play on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. It would be a complete revengo for the women, for most of tho clubs do not permit women on the course on those days. Philadelphia Women Lead Men in Golf and Swimming ' VrniRtiR nro three sports where womeii have been and are prominent, coif. fK X tennis and swimming.

SHAKE-UP IN CAMDEN'S LINE-UP A BIG FACTOR IN SKEETERS' FIRST WIN; DEFEATS TRENTON BY 37-27 Jasper and Greys to Clash at Nonpareil' Hall To night and Champions Hope to Hand Jewels First Defeat CAMDEN'S losing streak has been halted, for the Skceters defeated Trenton on the home floor last evening by the hcore of 37 to 27 and Jumped to fifth position in the Eastern League ktandlng. As a result of the victory tho Heading Cubs, formerly Known as the Hears, hao been relegated to last place. They occupy this position be cause they cannot go any lower. Itut to return to last night's victory: As forecasted previously, a shuKe-up In Cam den's line-up was necessary, and whether the management took cognizance of news paper criticism or decided to make a change on its own volition has not been learned Anyway, when the home crew lined up ngalnst the Potters it was seen that Jack Kelly, the Vesper oarsman, was at center against Tome and Hrown and Dclghan wcro bark at guards with Steele and Kngle for wards. A cyclonic outburst of speed developed near the end of tho first half and which was continued during tho final frame swept the Potters completely off their feet The scoring heroes of the forty-minute fuss were, Hrown, with seven goals, and Steele with four. The seven made by Jimmy is the season's record to date. Vivo were dropped In on Hargreaves and two on "Doc" New man. Kelly showed up well against Tome, although outscored two to one. Tho home crowd garnered fifteen field goals as against eight for the visitors. Steele started the scoring on a field goal and on fouls by the visitors the numbers were tied away at 3. Camden went ahead, and on two goals by Hrown Jumped to 8. Fouls and Tome's basket sent the Pot ters ahead at 10-9. Then it vvns see-Bavv, the lead switching five times. Delghan, Newman, Brown and Hargreaves counted In succession, and when the latter registered again the Potters were ahead at 17-14. In the closing minutes the Skeeters sent the crowd wild when Kelly counted on a pass from Steele and Kngle tallied a beauty from center. The half concluded 19-17, every player In the home squad scoring. Camden began the second period at a hurricane clip, and on four baskets, two each by Brown and Steele, mounted to 29-18. At this Juncture Coach Cooper made a switch In the line-up and Inserted Watt Into the fray. Hargreaves had been played by Brown, but "Doc" Newman switched over to Jimmy and then the fun began (the rough stuff). The visitors landed a pair of bas kets. Ballard and Watt scoring. Score, 29-23. In the remaining minutes the home talent played rings around the North Jer seymen and scored at will, Jasper to Play Greys Jasper-and Greystock clash In an Eastern League game tonight at Nonpareil Hall, Kensington avenue and Ontario street, and the Churchmen are out to place a crimp In the perfect record of the Jewels. The uptowners -have surprised all hands by their showUng to date.. Manager Kennedy put in the entire week prior to the opening In getting his squad together. Then, on the night before the opening game, he received word that it would be necessary to secure a new center in place of Hazlett, who was taken seriously HI. Bill signed Frank Moorhead, of Dobson, at the last minute, and his new bunch were nearly all strangers to each, other. When Jasper played the Greys at Musical Fund Hall in the opening game Kennedy was detained at a league meeting, The players were all ready to start, and Captain Bill Dark came down to the scorers' desk and asked a Irlend who his comrades were. It was time to begin play., and at that the Jewels' manager hove In sight. He Intro duced the boys to each other, and that was their first meeting. They Immediately handed the Greys a defeat. The newly constructed Jewels have well-balanced squad and they are all well knoyn foul-tossers, which is a fine asset Eastern Cage Records Seen at a Glance lithper Trenton le Nerl V. r.r. ,.wi .333 .'JOO I.. !'.'. ii l.tKHi lirri(ork J .nan Camden..

In fact, Leonard has landed five out of eleven attempts and this Is a fine percentage. Wood, who Is the extra man. Is the smallest player In the league, not excepting Charley Gaul, of Heading. The Grejs are rapidly hitting their stride and from all appearances Joe Fogarty has concluded to act only as bench manager and coach and Is giving his rookies a chance. He lias several good men In Zahn and Campbell, who will pi ly at defense, Lawrence at centre and Fisher and David son forwards. Goals From Every Angle Another movement Is on foot In the Lastern League to have the clubs work on a percentage basis. Bill Dark has not displayed anything exceptional to date, but the "Kid" will get going soon and then watch out. Ttookwood clearly demonstrated its class by the excellent game which It played at Jersey City against Wallams's all-star com bination, whlcfli included "Chief" Muller and "Hobey" Fyfe at forward, "Stretch" Hnr ey, center, and "Whltey'l Swenson and "Jimmy" Clinton at guard. Although beaten, the locals kept the Jerseymen going at a rapid 'clip, and were booked for a return game. Kddle Deal, the veteran Bookwood guard, heldMuller to a single field toss and caged one. ' Ward Brennan was eleventh man. The basketball being witnessed nowadays Is faster than previously. The youngsters put their whole heart and soul Into the play, and the games are faster than In the olden days, when the players would often "stall" so long as they received the money. President Schroyer, of the Industrial League, has called a meeting to bo held tomorrow evening at the U. G. I. offices. Thirteenth and Cherry. The names of eli gible players must be submitted at the meeting. Joe Dreyfuss will be back In De Nerl's line-up on Saturday night, and this will force Tom Barlow to the side lines. He Is too valuable a player to be warming the bench. The preliminaries at Camden are the real thing these days. Harry Hcugh and Len Frost appeared In the Peerless Kids' line up last night. Charlie Engle Is a popular boy'across the river.

The matter of supremacy among these leading service elevens wl'l never be settled, but If a few of the better ones could be matched for some needed fund there would be no question about tho great good to- be accomplished. How About Ned Mahan Any number of divergent opinions have come In attached to our all-star backfleld array of Coy, Thorpe, Heston and Kckersal. .Most of these have outlined the Impossi bility of leaving off Ned Mahan, the Har vard brilliant Such a keen obeserver as W. B.- Hanua rates Mahan as the best halfback of the game. Mahan was undoubtedly a wonder When his all-around worth Is' considered' there seems to be no way to leave him off But which of the trio. Thorpe, Coy or Heston, would he displace? There is quite a chance for an argument here and -we are willing to consider any further rebuttal. The Trio There Is no way to leave Jim Thorpe off. for he was tho best all-around star foot ball pla.vcr ever developed. It then becomes a matter as to whether Mahan should displace Coy or Heston. Football was a different game In Heston's day, before the forward pass and the open game developed. This makes comparison extremely loose-Joined and out of focus. As football Is played today or as foot- ball has been played under the new era the three best backs stand as Thorpe, Ma han and Coy. And If there Is any argument here It comes In leaving out Charley Brick- ley, who was a great back mniij. . i,. drop-kicklng ability.
