The Golf Course.
One of the most picturesque and beautiful
golf courses in the United States is that OF
the Chevy Chase Club To the eye there is
nothing prettier than a view of the course
from the lawn of the cozy club house, and
also from several of the tees. There are
no splashes of dirty clay or dusty roads to
mar the pretty picture. but continuation
of green on every hand. the bright shades
of the grass varying to the darker of the
woods or the borders of the brook that
winds in and out along the course.
In fact. the beauty of the course has
caused uneasiness among the members OF
the Chevy Chase Club for the past five
years. as real estate gentlemen have cast
longing eyes on the tract for some time. ana
to cut 1t UP into building lots would be the
ambition of many. To prevent this decided
governors, whereby 1t is hoped the property
will be purchased by the club and kept in
tact for many years to come The board of
governors decided that it is essential for
the club to own its land for golf links.

that about 40 acres. known as the Dodge
tract, be purchased for the purpose.
A comprehensive circular has been sent
out to the club members. telling Of the plan
Of purchase in detail. The land required
will cost about $4,000. A large portion OF
the tract Is on the Tenleytown road. ana
in a short time should become very valu-
able. AS the country along the Tenleytown
road becomes more densely populated,
short strip can easily be cut up into build
ing lots, the course In that section pushed
further east and enough money realized
from the transaction to cover the expense
of the entire purchase. A meeting of the
club Is called for next Thursday. and at this
gathering 1t is expected that the purchase
will be ratified and the beautiful course in
sured to the club for years to come.
A remarkable thing about the course is
the many views of great beauty that can
be obtained, looking over the country from
the different tees

Over the 'Jumps.
There are fully a dozen other hunters in
the stables that have gained enviable repu-
tations, both In following the hounds or in
going over the jumps of the Washington
Jockey Club at Bennfng.
The recent exhibitions of the Chevy Chase
riders at Benning were most praiseworthy
and although several out-of-town papers
referred sarcastically to the display of
horsemanship Clerk Ashenden has seen fit
to call the writers to task in the Rider and
Driver. Mr.. Ashenden draws the deadly
parallel in his article, wherein he shows
that while five horses out of nine starters
at Benning- finished, going over all the
jumps and without falls, but two out of
fourteen starters In two professional races
that followed were able to come down the
home stretch and go under the wire, One
OF the riders from Chevy Chase was Dion
Kerr, who won praise for splendid horse
manship, and another amateur Of note,
Mr.. Holloway who went over the course

and guided his horse with one hand. The

the company's house, on street between

engine took water through only one of the

Correct Dress in Business.


1t has become an unwritten. but none the
less stringent. law, that young men shall
dress well and neatly during business
hours. In many of the largest banks and
financial institutions none of the clerks is
permitted to go cOatleSs, and, in the mer-
camille establishments where statesmen are
employed, loud attire Is actually dis
couraged. The old-time salesman gloried
In his fiamboyant cravats and shirts, his
diamonds and his peculiar clothes. His
capftal-in-trade consisted of fiashy ap-
pearance. vulgar stories. a constitution that
would stand Intoxicating liquor. and an
unlimited amount of cheek. He did not
have to know anything about the goods

slapped men on the back took them out to
dinner, got drunk with them and then
booked their order. The modern salesman
is well educated, neatly dressed gentle

never needs to dine out. he trades on honor
and brains. and his customers are men who

more, than they do about their business.
Dress plays the most important part IN
the game OF commerce, no less with the
salesman than 1t does with the manufac-
turer, the mill man. the banker or the
financial man. They all dress to impress

IN MASONIC TEMPLE.

The South high school football play
ers, who Won the championship for
the season just closed, was given an
ovation last night at the reception
rendered the team at Masonic Temple.
Two hundred students and alumni of
the school were present. Addresses
were made by President Cyrus
Northrop of the state university, and
William G. Leary, an alumnus of the
school, and captain of the university
team during two championship sea-
sons.
At the close of the addresses, the
members of the team were presented
with handsome orange and black
sweaters, the gifts of residents of the
South Side, and dainty watch fobs,
presented by the senior class of the
school. President Northrop in his
address spoke of the alleged dangers
of football, declaring that only I'M

PUTS ON FIVE GOPHERS
WALTER CAMP HONORS MINNIE
sofa IN HIS CHOICE OF AN ALL
WESTERN ELEVEN.

Walter Camp gives Minnesota more
credit in his selection Of an all-West-
ern football team for 1908. Five Of
the eleven men chosen are gophers,
while Michigan gets only three, and
Notre Dame, Northwestern and Wis
consin one each. The Minnesota men
named are Rogers, Schacht, Strath-
ern, Harris and Irsield.
While Camp has seen but one game
in the west this year, that between
Michigan and Chicago, Thanksgiving
Day, his selection is the more en-
couraging to Minnesota adherents,
since he has given the gophers more
places than any other team. 1t is a
notorious fact that Minnesota usual
ly gets less credit in Chicago and the
east for her achievements, than any
other western institution The fact
that Camp is forced to recognize the
gophers indicates that the best in
formed eastern writer's are beginning
to wake up to the fact that there is

New York, Dec. 17.-The possibility
of a battle between Jim Jeffries and
Jack Munroe seems brighter than ever
just now. The miners victory over
Al Limerick in Boston last night has
boosted his stock and the boilermaker
has decided to meet him. Jeffries,
however makes a stipulation. He
wants the miner to defeat a few more

will try to do, provided he can find
opponents.
Jeffries seemed pleased over Mum

that Gus Rubin was ready to meet
him and forfeit the entire purse if he

William Martin Heston of San Jose,
Cal, has been elected captain of the
Michigan football team for the sea-
son Of 1904. ....
Heston we'll deserves the honor
which has been given him. Enter
ing Michigan in the fall Of 1901, Yost
recognized in him the making of a
speedy back, and, altho he had al
ways played in the line before COM
Yost's system of coaching he sur
prised the whole west with his ground
gaining ability. This year Heston has
been a bright star in western, if not
in American football, and the two
eastern football critics, Walter Camp
and Casper Whitney, both gave him a
position on their all-American teams.
Heston is a senior in the Michigan
law department, but he will return
in the fall for post graduate work.
He is 22 years old, feet II inches
in height and weighs $50 pounds.
The results of the past football
season have led the members of Chi
cago university to the conclusion that
Coach Stage has more work to do
than one man can we'll attend to.
Besides coaching the football team, he
has the larger share of the business
management to look after. and also
has directed the training Of the men.
Students believe that Chicago should
have a trainer like Fitzpatrick OF
Michigan and O'Dea of Wisconsin.
Coach Stage does not favor the pro-
fessiOnal trainer system. He says that
DR.. Raycroft will have an assistant
next year who will stay with the men
and care for them constantly, altho
he will be under DR.. Raycroft's direc-
ton.
