MONEY SPENT IN COLE
Fifteen Millions a Year Is
What 1t Costs.
IN THIS COUNTRY ALONE
The Various Items That Figure in q.
Golfers EaIaRce-Mere Than One
Hundred Thousand Players Who
Pay Heavily for Their Indulgence
in This Most Popular Pastimc.

Fifteen millions a year for golf! The
statement seems almost absurd. yet a
careful estimate will show that this little
item figures up the annual cost of the
game in this country. And even then no
account is taken of the money invested
in clubhOuses and links. People who rec
ognize the widespread interest in the
game Will doubtless consider the sum too
small, but il is certainly large enough
to prove that golf is one Of the most ex-
pensive pastimes this country has vet
seen. A well-known St. Andrews golfer
told the writer recently that seven dol
lars a day was the amount he consider
ed as the cost of his indulgence in the
sport, and there are probably a good
many others who could show a similar
expenditure. When it is remembered that
there are over 100000 players in regularly
organized clubs and thousands more who
belong TO the unattached division. it
will be seen how rapidly the figures mount
into the millions
The announcement was made not long
ago that the Chiselhurst Club had decided
to purchase its clubhouse and grounds at

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT
Rumors That Letter is Selling
Positively Denied.
AFTER BIGGER PROFITS
Thirty Million BuSheI Deal is
Among the Probabilities.

Chicago, Jan 5.-Runors which were
persistently circulated last night to the
effect that Joseph Letter had closed
contracts for the disposal OF the greater
par tof his vast accumulation of wheat
to New York and Baltimore exporters,
who had placed it in Europe. were posi-
lively denied today by Broker George
3. French who represents the Letter in
terests. On account Of the known fact
that numerous bids have been received
lately from exporters for the high quail
ity wheat in the possession Of the Lett
ers. the reports were received with
some credence. Mr.. French stated en-
phatically today. however, that there
was no truth in the reports.
If the Letter wheat has been sold the
price paid for ii, judging from the re-
ception given to some Of the buying or
ders for the cash article received to-
day. was much higher than the ruling
quotations. An offer TO buy 100, 900 bush
els from a prominent holder at about
cents over the May price was refused,
would have to be about 10 cents over
the present May price TO get the wheat.
The Letter people say it is waste Of
time, in their present state Of mind and
with their views, to talk Of selling their
wheat at the present prices. They add
that they are betting on a profit and
can afford to see if their views are not
right.
Private advices from the east indicate
that behind the Letters is $50, 600. 600 that
viii eventually own and control over
10000, 900 bushels Of cash wheat for bet
ter prices If this be true, the refusal
to sell cash wheat today would indicate
that they propose TO hold on to what
wheat they now have and to increase
their holdings very largely, or largely
enough to discourage to a great extent
short selling as a business.
