because of the tremendous cost OF such
field.

much money as that" he said.
The newest of the baseball magnates
added that the plan had been brought
before him twice for consideration. The
first site suggested was that over the
Pennsylvania Railroad yards to the west
OF the Pennsylvania station. Col. Rup-
pert said that this would be a fine To-
cation for such an enterprise and that
he thought il would be practical, but
that the site was not large enough when
the big grandstand was considered.
The second site suggested 10 him was
that of the car barns at Fiftieth street
and Eighth avenue. Here the plan put

/ were present.
First of all ! would like to proffer
the thought that there are in the country
many professionals who are not capable
because OF their lack Of experience They
are simply apprentices who are willing
to start In at small club and work
for n mcagrc salary. The club is thank
ful and well satisfied that its members
may say that they have a professional
who devotes his time to their needs
This class of professional is more
prevalent than you would imagine, II
you think otherwise Just ask the first
well known professional whom you may
meet and he will tell you Of some Of his
friends who have been prevented from
getting positions at clubs because Of the
influx Of the class Of professional who
should rightly he termed the "caddie pro-
fesslonal" II Is the duty o. the older
men who have served the clubs and en-
dcavored 10 give the golfers a good
knowledge OF how to play the game to
see to It that tho golfers who are put
In charge Of the clubs are not only good
players, but that they have had GER
tain amount Of experience In other
things.
II may be said that the club will see
10 all this, but there are countless golf
clubs In the United States which are
far from the beaten track, as it were,
whose members do not look ahead and
see that in enga ging a golfer who is
not thoroughly competent TO instruct
them they are doing a gross Injustice
to many others. especially those who are
going 10 take up the game for the first
time. An injustice Is often done TO the
young golfer himself for in a slow NOV
ing community he gets no chance TO
grow and always remains a mediocre
player with little or no technical knowl-
edge Of the science OF greenkeeping or
the finer teaching points OF the game
An association could help all those who
are In this plight as wei as hvip tii-
clubs too. Something more than a mere
willingness to work for a small sum Is

with Cornell NJ Ithaca, and there may
be a different story 20 tell.
Before tho Princeton-Cornell battle
Columbia and Yale will nght It out at
New Haven. Columbia is wellnigh
desperate. The Blue and White FIVE
managed to vauquish Dartmouth. but
the victory wasn't such as to restore
the cocky demeanor the team displayed
carly In January Although all coaches
agree that TO college will win the title
without suffering two defeats, Column
hia feels that she has had her share.
The fight has been filled with more
ursets than in any recent year Co
lumba ought to have galloped' home a
winner, hut instead is hard pressed 20
keep from being dubbed every time she
starts. The team is crippled and It's
only hope for victory is in the bril-
lance OF its component parts. Capt.
Benson, Calder and Lee are among the
first ten scorers and Coach Fisher de-
Ponds on this trio to down Yale.
Pennsylvania was bumped again by

1t also marks an advance toward Presi-

creased. no less than seven coaches
living in Princeton throughout the year.
Another new idea has been put into
operation which abollshes the old Mas
