Age Limit Rule in Water
Sports for Women
Hard to Enforce.

Two important events will mark the
opening Of the Eastern outdoor swim
ming season next Saturday the one
mile ocean race of the Atlantic City
Aquatic Club. for which entries have
been received from several Leading
lights of the metropolitan and Made
Atlantic districts. and the ffteen-mile
mile Lake View marathon Of the 81"
Street Club. of Boston. which has
drawn good field. headed by Charles
10th, holder of the American time rec
ord Of - hours AZ minutes for con-
tinuous swimming. In the latter coon
test the COURSE has been accurately
surveyed. so the winners performance
will set national standard for fifteen
miles.
The officials of the Amateur Athletic
Union think il most unwise to allow
very Young girls to compete in water
aports against full grown rivals. and
there is talk of strictly enforcing a
rule again.t the acceptance Of entries
from those under sixteen in open
events. That such a rule is desirable
there can be no question. but 1t is more
likely to bring premature age or the
little contestants than to exclude them
from important races.
or late. small maids have figured
prominently in championship tests.
Elizabeth Becker. Of Philadelphia,
fourteen years old, finished second in
the 80 and 900 national title swims;
her team mate Of the same age, Ger

races: Thelma Darby. of Indianapolis,
a chubby tot Of twelve. recently broke
the 100 yard Central district record for
women; Gertrude Edison and Helen
Pennypacker, two Quaker City divers

all corners in springboard contests.

stars belong evidently do not hold the

BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Did you ever notice. around golf
course. that the best golfers took but
little time over any shot. while the
buffers. on the average. took a lot Of
time over every shot played? There is
quite a difference between taking some
pains and standing above the ball until
the very soul becomes rigid and taut
with the tenseness Of the moment. and
1t is here that most bad players help 70
wreck their already uncertain game.
As a rule the worse a golfer Is the
longer he takes to make the stroke.
You can see this type stand over the
ball until rightly and an uncertainty

Want a Commission.

The liquor interests in Burlington
seem to be afraid that something will
happen that will not be to their benefit,
so they have taken steps to protect
themselves, as they think, against any
action which may be detrimental to
them and their business. At the last
election for members of common council
there was warm contest between the
"wets" and the 'drys," and the result,
while in favor Of the "wets,'' showed
there was possibility Of the temperance
people finally getting control of the
body having the power to grant licenses
to sell liquor, and that the hotels and
saloons might eventually be wiped out.
Sooner than take any chances on this
point it was deemed advisable to return
to the old system of an excise commits
sion, and an ordinance was passed by
council arranging for this form of gov
eminent. Immediately the temperance
people got busy and applied to Judge
Lippincott for the appointment of men
they thought would be about right to
serve on the commission. The Judge
looked over the list presented to him,
but did not make any appointment. He
will give the matter careful attention be-
fore reaching final decision. He will
not appoint body that will be pre-
iudiced either for or against license, but
may be depended upon to select men
who will act fairly toward allinterested.
The matter is creating much attention
and both sides are watching each other
very carefully. The ordinance which
has been adopted must, under the law,
remain in force for five years.

Death From Hydrophobia.

Andrew Marshall, a boy OF 10 years OF
age, died at Riverside, Sunday night'
from hydrophobia. The child was bitten
by dog several weeks ago and was sent
to Observation-Disclosures, New York, from
which place he was discharged as cured.
He was an orphan and that was probably
the reason he was sent to the Burlington
County Children's Home, reaching that
place on Saturday. He was very ner-
vous and excited when he reached the
Home and seemed to have realization
of what might be the matter with him.
Every time water was given him he
went into spasms, and the Home mana
gers decided that it would be dangerous
to the safety of the other inmates to
keep the child in the institution.
1t was decided to send him back to
Riverside and DR.. Whitehead took the
boy in his automobile to that place.
The child had spasms during the entire
trip and death finally ended his suffer-
ings.

A Polish lad was scratched by the same

that it is likely every dog in town will
be killed.

Game League Formed.

For the improvement and distribution
of fish and game; for enforcing the laws
protecting the same, and to recommend
and urge the passage of proper acts on
the subject, the Burlington County
Game Protective League was organized
at the court house on Saturday.
The meeting was called to order by
Robert Peacock, and Lawrence G. Min
gin was chosen as secretary.
A resolution was passed to formally
organize under the laws of New Jersey;
constitution was adopted, and per-
manent officers were elected as follows:
President, w. Richard Trowbridge; vice
president, Henry l. Worrell; secretary,
Lawrence G. Mingin; treasurer, Joseph
Huff; trustees, Frank Ridgway, Richard
Lamb, Charles E. Black, Edgar Jordan
and Walter T. Cox.
The questions of entrance fee and dues
were not fixed, it being decided to settle
those amounts at the next meeting to be
held in the court house on February 5.
A committee on bylaws was appointed,
consisting of ex-Judge John g. Horner,
Joseph Huff and Charles C. Morton.
An informal discussion took place on
game conditions in the county.
Game Warden Morton stated that.
foxes, which are very destructive to.
rabbits, quail, etc., are increasing rapid
ly in numbers. He estimated that there
are 25 foxes now to where there was one
ten years ago.
The state, he said, is endeavoring to
maintain deer, rabbits. pheasants and
quail in this county,a combination diff
cult to protect. He believes that protec-
ton cannot be afforded to deer and to
the other three also. This is on account
of the difficulty of hunting foxes when
deer are at large. Dogs will take up
fox scent and follow it until they strike
the heavier scent of deer, when they will
abandon the fox and take up the deer
trail. This has discouraged fox hunting.
The warden stated that last week,
while feeding quail in the county on ac-
count OF the snow-covered ground, he
saw the tracks of 40 foxes, while only
those Of IL rabbits were seen.

OF DR.. M. w. Curran, of Chatsworth, has
been to establish health resort in the
pines and he seems to have about
reached the height Of his ambition. He
has purchased a tract of land near Chats
worth and he intends to begin work at
once on ''Tent and bungalow colony, -
with the expectation of being ready for
patients by the first of May. This place
will be designated "The Pines DR..
Curran is eminsntly fitted to conduct
such an establishment as he proposes to
build and he could not have selected q
better location for his resort.
1t is midway between Lakewood and
Atlantic City, two hours ride from New
York and one hour from Philadelphia.
The Atlantic ocean is but IS miles dis
tant, and the pine air of Burlington
county, well known for its soothing
effects, tempers the ocean breezes and
makes the combination one that must
at once be restful and beneficial 1t is
to be hoped DR.. Curran will have his re-
sort in shape by the time he has set, and
that he will have the success that he de.
serves in the new enterprise.

County Eiremen.


The Burlington County Firemen's AS
sociation, which had its start through
the efforts of Evan F. Benners, Of
Moorestown, is growing into favor, and
the fire companies throughout the coun-
ty are becoming very much interested
in the affair. Nearly every company has
sent delegates to the several meetings,
the last of which was held in Burling-
ton on Wednesday evening.
One of the subjects discussed at that
gathering was that of q standard hose
coupling, which could be used by all
companies in case of calls for assistance
from neighboring towns. As matters
now stand there are various sizes and
styles OF couplings which make it very
difficult for companies to connect hose
with that Of other organizations in an
other town. A committee was appointed
to look into this subject and to take
steps towards having the threads on fire.
plugs and on hose all Of the same style
so that speedy coupling may be easily
made.
Another question that was discussed
was that of establishing fire zones. The
idea is to have districts established SO
that when there are calls from outside
of town, the companies may all know
| in which zone the fire is, and thereby
prevent confusion and trouble by having
Icompanies from all the towns in the vi
cinity answering the alarm. If this
Idea is carried out there will be some
one stationed in each town with author
ity to send out such apparatus as may
be necessary to do the work.
The good work of the organization Il
already perceptible from the fact tina
Florence has been benefited by re
adjustment of insurance rates. Tha
town has purchased chemical engine
and with the assurance that help will b
available from Burlington, Bordentowl
and Columbus, the insurance peopl,
have shown disposition to give bette
, rates than have heretofore been in exist
ence.
q The firemen are alive to the situation
: and the organization will continue t.
i grow and interest will increase all th
time. There is desire on the part {
the tire-fghters to band together fC
s their mutual benefit and for the good
\ the public. The meetings will be hel
s in various towns, that for February hs
beeu fixed for Bordentown, the date
e be announced later.
