3R several years the only private Rolf club In tills country having two eight-
,.-' een-hole courses lias been the Merlon Cricket Club. 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.

The Philadelphia Country Club has u green feo of 5 for Saturdas, Sundays
. ''-and holidays, not because It needs the money but to keep guests au.iy on
those busy days when tho members aie out In force. 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. It will be possible to play the first nine and wind up on the

the Tegular eighteen could be used as It Is now.
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.

tab to the tee and drive even with the men and In many cases outdrive them,
Igjfctf hut these instances are rather rare.

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

'Philadelphia Is concerned, the women are far more prominent than the men.

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

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.

up considerable rebuttal.
Tom Swope. of the Cincinnati Post, sends
In hl doubt from the West. "We havo a

"that refuses to ndmlt a secondary place.
This Is Bud Talbot's team. The line-up
Includes such stars as Bill Goebel, Martins

Necdham, of Dartmouth; Ueyman, of

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

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

here It comes In leaving out Charley Brick-
