The Holbrook news., 1912-06-28

Many a young wife. all unconscious Iy. places her husband in a trying po- sition by incurring expenditures quite beyond his means. In many instances the blame for this state of affairs is chargeable largely to the husband be- cause of his failure to take his wife into his confidence Many home has been wrecked or had its happiness largely destroyed through failure on the part of the husband to inform his wife of his exact financial status. It is her right to know the volume of the income. If she does and is not willing to cooperate in making both ends meet, then the blame rests on herself
 A bill has been passed by both houses of congress and has doubtless ere this appears in print received the signature of the president, which makes some radical and much needed changes in International homestead laws. In a general way the new law is pat termed after the Canadian homestead laws, which are said to have been re- ,sponsible for much of the emigration from the United States to Canada. The period the homesteader has to reside on his claim is reduced from five to three years. while the entryman and his family are allowed to be away from the claim five months during each year.

GOLFERS FLOCK TO LINKS
Four Ball Match Played on
Dyker Meadow Course.

Ralmy airs sent golfers speeding to the
links yesterday, incidentally causing the
countenance OF many a steward to beam
with satisfaction. Although the regular
competitive opening at the Dyker Meadow
Gclf Club is not scheduled 10 take place
until April %, there were sixty members
on the course and they were all gratifed to
find the summer greens in commission.
The match of the day there consisted OF q
four ball affair between c. ]. Crookall and
e. F. Hunt on one side and II. o. Parsons
and z. L. Rhett on the other. Crookall
and Hunt conceded their opponents an al
lowance of UP going out, but even so the
first named pair turned for home up.
Being magnanimous. the leaders offered the
opposition an allowance OF up TO start
the inward nine which ended all square,
so that Hunt and Crookall won the match
by 2 up Hunt made rs and his partner
TO- while Rhett and Parsons returned 81
and 50, respectively.
At Fox Hills the members gathered In old
time numbers. Nothing in the way Of q
competition was listed. but there may be
next Saturday, consequently those who had
been neglecting their weapons hastened TO
get in some much needed practice. Pro-
vided conditions are proptious. the commit
tee expects to run off some sort OF handi-
cap this week end. though II Will be impos-
sible to open the regular greens until later
in the month.

May Have New Management
for Six-day Bicycle Race

send in a fee OF SO for sanction for that
particular race He never had FRANCHISE
which would have cost only 800 ana by
which he could have protected himseir
against competitors. He felt secure, how
ever, in his position because Of his lease
with the former owners Of the Garden, as
there was no other building in New YORK
large enough for the show.
r. F. Kelsey chairman of the Natlonai
Cycling Association. said yesterday at his
Office. No. 1900 Broadway, this city, that
he had received several applications for the
six-day race franchise. He declared one OF
these was from p. T. Powers. who had
sent the $50 fee with it. Mr.. Kelsey said
that he had returned the application 10
Powers, along with the fee, and informed
him that the matter would be taken up by
the board OF control in a few days.
John NJ. Chapman and Frank Milon' the
owners Of the Newark Velodrome, and VINO
also conduct tracks at New Haven and
Providence, are after the franchise ana
made application some time ago. They
simply intended to run sprint races and
had not thought of six-day grinds.
The six-day races have paid big money,
1t being estimated that anywhere from S5-
900 to $4,000 is cleared annually. The re-
ceipts Of the last race, In December, 1911,
were $4,000

Seventy five Clubs Now Stand

The Michigan State Association footDaIl
League. consisting OF fourteen clubs, with
headquarters in Detroit. has allied itseil
with the American Amateur Football Asso-
citation. with headquarters in this city. The
Michigan clubs were formerly affiliated with
the American Football Association.
The withdrawal will leave the parent
body unrepresented west OF Philadelphia
and gives the younger organization control
OF practically the entire West, as at the
present time the Utah Football Union mas
cast in its lot with the new body.
The affilation OF the Michigan organiza-
t,on clearly demonstrates that the West Ia
in hearty accord with the progressveness
and businesslike manner which the New
York association has displayed IN the ior-
nation Of the new national body. AS re-
suit of the activity Chicago and st. LOUIS
the Western stronghold OF soccer FOOTBALL
are knocking at the door for admission.
To show the rapid growth OF this new
GOVERNING body, which was organized at
the beginning Of the present year. 1t may
he told that the following leagues and CLUBS
are enrolled New York State and District
League. with twenty-five clubs. which IN
cludes Newark Football Club and Shefnei1

BAR ATHLETIC DIRECTORS
Conference Will Also Probe Foot
ball Rules.

Chicago. April 6.-Directors Of athletics
were barred as representatives OF the West
ern Athletic Conference Association at a
meeting Of the Big Eight" delegates here
to-day. Henceforth there will be only eight
members OF the conference committees, and
none OF these will be in any way connecte1
with athletic departments OF the universi-
ties they represent.
A. A. Stagg. Of the University OF Chicago,
and DR. George Ehler, OF the University OF
Wisconsin. are the athletic directors az
fected by the ruling. Heretofore both MEM
bers Of the athletic and academic depart
ments were representatives of the body.
The action was not unexpected by follow
ers of college athletics. 1t was known that
the representatives were dissatisfied by the
fact that Chicago and Wisconsin were SAID
to have undue advantage in having athletic
members on the committee.
Ohio State University was assured of
membership in the conference when 1t was
unanimously voted to admit the Buckeye
institution This action, however. must be
ratified by members of the eight university
faculties.
TAe football rules brought about warm
discussion, during which 1t was decided 10
have each representative OF the conference
select man from his university to serve
on a technical committee on rules. Re.
ports on the rules will be made at the next
meeting of the conference in June.
Summer bs seball'' received severe set.
back. The compromise offered at the iast
meeting was defeated. which means that
no college athlete will be permitted to play
with semi-professional teams.
a committee was appointed to invefu-
gate the methods used to induce athletes
TO enter universities. 1t was charged that
IN some cases athletes were paid for per-
forming duties at the schools.
1t also was decided TO abolish athletic
competition among first year students with
other universities. Whether this Will ahect
the Wisconsin freshman crew In competins
in the intercollegiate regatta at Pousn-
keepsie is a question, but II is said by those
who profess to know that II the letter ot
the rule is obeyed the Badgers VIII have t 20
give up sending the youngsters East. Inc
rule will undoubtedly work harship IN
the development Of athletes for varsity
teams and will hit the Wisconsin crews es-
pecially hard.

BORDERS ALWAYS IN FAVOR
At This Time Much Originality Has
Been Expended in Designs Put
Forth for Popularity.

There is fascination in the summer
bordered materials of nino, cashmere
and marquisette, and every class OF
wolfe or delaine is being made up with
a border of much originality and
greater prettiness. All these bordered
stuffs are made with an eye to the de-
sign of the gown and its style and
purpose, and the result is seen In
many smart and apparently exclusive
costumes.
The skirt may be made in two tiers
of spotted material, each tier having
wide band of some beautiful pattern,
while the same pattern appears to
form corselet, the upper part and
sleeves being simply Of the spotted
stuff. A taffeta belt gives finishing
touch. The patterned border may ap.
