Reason for Action.

Replying to his critics who stated on

tcrdaN He said that he was heartily In
favor OF golf and all other clean healthy
sports and minated that the point In
question had not been put fairly.
According to Mr.. PAGE, the only golf
proposition before the New York A. G. board
was one involving the annual guarantee
of $1,000 TO the Fox HIS Golf club In
return for which 100 New York A. G.
members were to have the privileges OF
that course. This scheme was opposed
for thr". -orcors. Tie board mad no
such authority. the club had heavy hnan-
cial responsibilities at the time and tho
board would not have been Justified In
sanctioning such discrimination or
creating any such preferred class of mem
bership."
Continuing, Mr.. Page said.
Formal action declining the proposition
was taken on March IS. 1913. and the
matter was never again brought UP. II
now appears. however. IL the press cor
rectly states the situation that an effort
