GREAT NECK LINKS TO OPEN
Long Island Course, Near City,
Has Nine Holes Now.

Tho course OF the recently organized
Great Neck Golf Club. a few miles out on
Long Island, will be placed In commission
to-day. At present the club will confine
itself to nine holes, though the intention is
to increase this to the fun circuit. The at
tractive clubhouse stands on rising ground
overlooking Little Neck Bay, and the
chances are that It will be taxed TO capac-
ity on April q, the date set for the formal
opening
James Fraser, the professional, will prob
ably lose no time In setting a course record
In the fall of 1910 he reeled off GO over
the Oakland links, figures that remain UNI
beaten. Last September he made an eigh-
teen-hole record Of Y over the course of
the Flushing Colt Club. Besides being ac-
cessible to New Workers, the new organi-
zation Is likely TO attract golfers from
Flushing and Bayside, both OF which
places are near by.
Good progress has been made in improv-
ing the course OF the Montclair Golf Club.
The greatest alteration has been at the
homo hole. The tee has been pushed back
twenty yards the first cross bunker has
been raised and tie middle section Of the
second bunker mas DttH cut away - uteD
tran has been placed Immediately beyond
the opening, so that topped drhe that
happens- to run through will not escape
punishment.
Traps have been placed 10 the left OF the
fajrway 10 penalize the golfer who DELHI
erately plays away from the parallel road
on the right However should his ball
clear this trouble and reach the fairway
beyond, the approach 10 the hole will be
made difficult because of new sand traps 10
the left of the green.
Other improvements are being planned.
Some members have expressed the opinion
that the eighth hole never should have
been changed. This covers little more
than three hundred yards sufficient 10
tempt the long drivers to try for the green,
especially in summer. when the ground Is
not so soft.

Chicago Boxer to Get $4,000
as His Share of the
Battle.

without wasting any time the manage
ment of the recently organized Garden
Athletic Club has signed Packy Mcfarland
and Matt Wells for its opening boxing bout
In Madison Square Garden on April &c.
This contest will be international In i'm
portance, for the reason that Wells Is the
recognized lightweight champion Of Great
Britain, while Mcfarland Is regarded as
about the best boy at his weight in this
country.
The bout was arranged at a conference
at the Hotel Marlborough yesterday after
noon, Tim Hurst representing the Garden
Athletic Club and Emil Thirty and George
Mcdonald looking after the interests Of
Mcfarland and Wells, respectively. The
boys will weigh in at 1876 pounds at O'Clock.
There is some uncertainty as yet as 10
the third man In the ring, but Il was
agreed that the name OF the referee shout
be given out four days before the bout.
That the club management will be lib
eral in its dealings with boxers OF class is
shown by the fact that Mcfarland alone
Is to receive a fat sum of $4,000, TO DO
paid by Wells. who will get 50 per cent OF
the gate and moving picture money.
Packy considers himself a legitimate
lightweight. and he would like nothing
better than to get AID Wolgast into the
ring. Wolgast. by the way. has never dis
played a burning desire to try conclusions
with the wonderful boxer from Chicago
Mcfarland will arrive in this city on
Wednesday to begin training.
Wells is In training at Rye, and the Eng
lish champion declares he is as well physi-
cally as when here before. The English
man is admittedly enc OF the cleverest

DICKENS APPEAL REPEATED
American Readers Urged to Provide

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. DR. Hamilton Mable. chairman OF
the Dickens festival at Carnegie Hall on
Wednesday night made a strong appeal
from the chair In the interest Of the fund
which Is now being raised under the au-
spices OF the Hon. Joseph II. Choate chair
man. and Clarence H. Mackay. treasurer
to provide for the support OF five needy
granddaughters Of Dickens all OF them
being in delicate health. England he
said. has subscribed for the same object

will equal that amount As member OF
the American executive committee which
has been formed to raise supplement To

that after four weeks Of hard work, in

unable 10 believe that this sum represents
the response OF the United states 20 Tia"

at least equal and perhaps surpass the
English contribution. In justice 10 our
