NEWS FOR THE GOLFERS
Hackensack Club May Buy It's
Course Outright.

The members OF the HackensacR ION
Club are much concerned over the tol-
lowing circular letter just sent out py
President Jose NJ. Diaz for the board or
governors:
I'm view OF the fact that the leaseholds
on the links expired last year, and the
impossibility of having them renewed
your board of governors has been eX-
pending much time and thought In per-
fecting plans for securing to the CLUB the
possession OF our grounds. For
the present we are more or less secure
I'm the use Of the greater part of the prop
erty over which we play, but this use Is
contingent upon the property not being
sold. II is In the market for SALE ana
we, therefore, are facing a situation
which some day may make II imperative
to give up the game upon our present
links This We do not want 10 do II there
is any way out. The way out is to buy
the property, and so control IT. The ques-
ton has been taken up with the present
owners, and they have generously offered
terms which your board considers liberal
and within the bounds OF possibility, In
brief, options on most of the present
course and sufficient adjoining property
have been secured expiring January l.
1879 to insure the laying out OF an
6,O0O-yard course. The pur-
chase price will total $4,000, one-half, or
s35, 600, payable I'm cash and the remainder
to be carried by the present property
owners as a per cent loan, secured by
first mortgage on the property.
In order to raise this ST.. 700 it is pro-
posed TO issue second mortgage per cent
bonds, secured by the equity in the prop
erty purchased and whatever other prop
erty the club owns which consists In the
main OF our clubhouse and the property
upon which 1t stands, T. e., 900 feet square,
subject to a first mortgage of $1,000
otherwise the club has no debts"

Those interested in thoroughbred racing
have reason to be optimistic and for two
reasons. In the first place, the decision
by Justice Scudder, of the Supreme Court
a few days ago dispelled the mist winch
has been hanging over the operation OF
the so-called directors liability lava
law which has been bugbear for the
reason, as August Belmont has pointed
out, that those interested in the various
tracks did not care to run the risk OF In
dictment. If the case is now carried to
the Court Of Appeals, more light may be
thrown on the laws directed primarily
against bookmaiing and gambling put
which overshot the mark 10 large ex-
tent and practically dealt racing a death
blow.

ON COLLEGE GR|D|RONS
Real Test at Hand for Two OF
the Leading ElevenS.
BROWN TEAM WAKING UP
Yale Men Have Little Reason to
Worry About Big Games
of the Future.

Now that football is no longer clouded
by the shadow of the worlds baseball
series interest in this great virile college
snort will spread and grow. As a matter
Of fact, the games which will count large
Nv for the so-called championship are at
hand. as Princeton and Dartmouth will
clash at Princeton next Saturday while
thereafter the important battles will fol-
low In quick succession. In truth, the
Tigers have only four more games on
their schedule, as, following Dartmouth
they will face Harvard, New York Uni
versity and Yale on succeeding Saturdays
The coaches have reason to be pleased with
the development of the Princeton team up
to this time. and while the line appears to
be q bit light, the forwards are showing
enough dash and vigor to Offset to large
extent their lack of bulk The real test
however, will come against Dartmouth, as
the team from Hanover is quite strong
enough and versatile enough to be con-
sdered In the same class with Princeton,
Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell.
Princeton beat Dartmouth a year ago on
a goal from the field which was nothing
more nor less than a freak Of football.
A 0-to-O tie was the true measure between
tho elevens at that time. and the Tigers
are not anticipating an easy time this
season. The game. no doubt, will point
the way TO what can be expected Of the
Orange and Black against Harvard and
Yale.

In nv opinion, Charley Herzog was the
star Of the series and surely stood out
above his fellows on the New York team.
He led both mines in batting, excepting the
pinch hitters, with a percentage Of 400,
and he played through the eight games
without an error, fielding his position not
only with rare steadiness, but with spark
ling brilliancy at times. His hitting, too,
y as timely and consistent and opened the
way to several runs. Next 10 Herzog, so
far as the Giants 60 would name Matty,
Red" Murray, "Rube" Marquard and
Josh Devore as the players who did most
for the cause. My admiration for Matty
is unbounded lie lost two games and
tied one, and yet II strikes me that
close analysis Of the work Of all the pitch
ers. with the possible exception Of Hugh
Bedient, proved him the master. IT may
be pointed out once more that in the
twenty-nine innings he pitched only two
runs were earned by Boston, while the
Giants earned eight off the opposing pitch
ers. and yet could not give Matty the
necessary support 10 help him out. Eleven
runs were scored by the Red SoX in these
same three games, and as only two were
earned the answer is plain. AS said In
my comment OF Thursday, the crying
shame lies not 80 much in the fact that
the Giants were beaten, but that Matty
was beaten after pitching such wonder
full game. Marquard more than Justified
M prediction before the series that he
would be tower Of strength to the
Giants. He was.

II is hard to understand Pennsylvania
poor showing against Brown, but no
doubt the answer lies in a set Of forwards
below the standard and line that fails
to furnish the necessary protection for
the backs Marshall Minds, Harrington
and Mercer. as good as they are, can do
little or nothing without a chance 10 get
fairly started.

Another interesting game next Satur-
day will find Harvard and Brown locking
horns at Cambridge. The eleven from
Providence does not stand out quite so
boldly as has been the case for two or
three years The graduation OF Sprack-
ling. the quarterback and field general
who ranked with the best in the history
Of football, cost the team dearly but there
is much good material In the process OF
building, and the eleven looked really
formidable in soundly beating Pennsyl-
vania on Saturday. II was no disgrace
for Brown 20 fan before wesleyan, as
Jack High is developing a real football
team in Mlddletown this fall, as was
clearly emphasized by the way II played
IN defeating New York University by a
score OF 26 10 on Saturday. Brown Is
not likely 10 humble Harvard, but the
Crimson eleven is counting on a thorough
test, as It has learned in the last few
years 10 have a high respect for the men
from Providence.

Yale men have no reason TO worry over
the outlook Unless sadly mistaken. n
great team Is in the making. There are
many rough edges 10 be smoothed of, and
more plays are needed for proper ex-
preston Of the true power Of the at
tack, but there IS plenty OF time. 1t
strikes me that the punting formation
blocks the way TO the threat OF a run or
forward pass, and that some OF the
plays were not effective because adyer-
tlsed so openly by the position and action
Of the men. Time and again the play
was called I'm the press stand before
being made and the Army players were
not asleep. ! liked the work OF Warren,
and, as usual, Ketcham stood out boldly.
Walter Camp, jr,, did some punting in
practice and looked as II he might he

There IL lots OF latent strength I'm the
Army eleven, and II will be developed In
plenty Of time for the Navy game. The
work Of the ends was impressive. and 1t
struck me that Prichard will be heard
from as a field general and football
strategist.
The Naval Academy team Is having an
unhappy time. but 10 all appearances
Swarthmore has an eleven capable OF
holding it's own with the best.
With every game played more satisfac-
ton IL being expressed by coaches. play
ers and onlookers over the somewhat
radical changes in the rules last winter
There Is so much more elasticity to the
offence and so much more latitude I'm the
running game that comparisons with a
year ago are odious. Scoring is now pos
sible when two teams are fairly well
matched by something more than drop or
place kicking or haphazard chances
Clean handling OF the ball is still i'm
portant, but errors are not made at such
a frightful cost, and hard, clever and con-
sistent work is not neUtralzed by some
unfortunate blunder, as was the case
last season. Altogether the game is
more natural as well as more interest
ing, as was proved in a number of games
on Saturday.

How to Choose a Farm Home

siderations in choosing any farm.
The first is the location and the
second is the character OF the
farm itself. We shall only write
of the location at this time.
Having found your farm,
what are its surroundings!
Does it have, or is it likely to
have rural free delivery? This
is important, for nowadays the
live farmer must keep daily pace
with the market quotations, new
agricultural ideas and the pro-
gress of the times in general.
Is there a railway or trolly line
close by? Produce must move,
for in the successful disposal OF
this lies the value of tie land.
Then, too, the progressive farm
err and his family must get away
from the farm now and then,
not only for breathing spell,
but to mingle with others and
renew their inspiration as wei
as gather new ideas from those
more successful,
Is there a church close by, and
what support does the commune
ty give it, or is the devil at work
with jealous factions? The pub
lie spiritedness of a community
will always ray out in the quail.
ty of its buildings, and the in
terest and the intelligence of a
community may be judged by
the quality Of its ministers and
teachers. While one may not
care to attend church, yet good
churches will have tremendous
influence on the character of a
neighborhood. Especially will
one find good schools in such
neighborhoods, possibly a con-
solidated school if a village is
not too close. What other social
advantages are there, such IS
libraries, lecture courses, read
ing courses and social gather
ings? Don't overlook these
factors in choosing the place for
your business and residence.
What market facilities have
you and does the market require
the kind of produce which is
suited to your soil and climate?
The quality of produce is often
governed by the kind of CUSTOM
ers one is serving. If near a
manufacturing center, larg e
quantities of fair quality will be
required, but if near a wealthy
community, the quantity of pro-
duce will not be large, but the
quality must be of the best.
Can you accommodate yourself
to these requirements.
How distant is your market?
1t one has to ship can refrige-
rator cars and such appurten-
ances be had? Will the length
Of haul and the consequent cost
of shipping leave a sufficient
for production? Often
times the wagon haul will pre-
clude the production of some
commodities. One cannot pro-
duce a large acreage Of potatoes
and team them a distance of ten
miles to a shipping point. And
if such hauls are to be necessary
what is the character of the
wagon roads over which they
must pass? This is the most
vital consideration of all. Two
or three five or six per cent
grades in the road will seriously
ordinary wagon trans
portation, while a single sixteen
per cent grade or a few muddy
places will be almost prohibitive.
The factor of ingress and egress
IN wagon roads is the most vital
when choosing a
ocation to plant your home and
business.
