News Of the Golfers.

Word comes from Chicago that If an
indiscriminate canvass was to be made
now among the golfers Of that city
fully 90 per cent would speak in favor
Of the proposed amendments to the con
stitution OF the Western Golf Associa-
ton. II the amendments to widen the
scope OF the association, and also
change its name to American" should
go through. 1t seems almost certain
that war will be declared between It
and the parent body.
New York woman golfers are anxious
to have the next national championship

trict. With such an end in view 1t is
practically certain that some official

month. Garden City and Apawamis

leading players. but as yet neither has
asked for any 1910 attraction.
The open winter has proved a delight
to the devotees Of the game. who have
been accustomed to lay aside their drlv-
ers and irons until spring. Most OF the
nearby courses have broken all Decem-
Der records for attendance. Chevy
Chase and Columbia were never SO
busy.
Additional improvements to the links
will be made at Fox Hills between now
and spring. 1t will only need few
more well placed traps to make the
Staten Island eighteen-hole circuit quite
difficult, although the fact that 1t COW
ers a playing length somewhat less
than 5000 yards must always prove a
handicap. There is a chance, however.
that the governors of the club will
shortly find a way to increase the dis
tances at several holes.

changes will be made in the conditions.
The members do not care for a repetf-
ton of the situation which presented
itself after the first eighteen-hole
round in the tournament at BaltusrOl
last June. Because Of the peculiar rul-
ing only three contestants were eligible
to continue in the second round. 1t is
also said that the vote of the executive
committee to increase the championship

likely to meet with general favor.

CANDIED VEGETABLES.
Pumpkins, Beets and Carrots Among

vert into jam.
I'm queer little pueblo in the state of
Zacatecas I heard q woman calling mo-
notonously. 'Cimarrones, calabasas.' Now
these words in English mean sweet pota-
toes and pumpkins. She had q small
tray held In place by a leather thong that
went around her neck.
II crossed the plaza and asked her for
Ave cents worth Of calabasas. She placed
several pieces Of sugary yellow SUBJ
stance In q paper bag, and I realized that
I was going to have the experience Of
tasting candied pumpkin.
III you can imagine pumpkin pie frozen
hard and saturated with sugar, you can
get an idea Of the flavor Of that queer

one has lived in Mexico for a while.
THE cinarrones were also rather nice.
The sweet potatoes are boiled in water
until they are soft. They are then soaked
in hot strip and candided. 4 nnal coating
gives them the appearance OF large

purpose. and candied watermelon peel Is
q great favorite.
