New York's inland courses" he
added, "sre very good--for inland
courses. But the seaside course has too
many advantages for the two to be
compared.
In this connection the English golfer
failed 70 agree with those who have al
ways ranked Baltusrol next to Garden
City. 1t was his opinion that Nassau
belonged in second place mot having
seen Piping Rock.
The Next Championships
Discussion of golf courses calls TO
mind the selection for next seasons
Metropolitan and New Jersey cham
pionships, held last spring at Nassau
and Englewood.
Garden City, Fox Hills, Englewood
Apawamis and Nassau have held the
last five Metropolitan title affairs. For
1917 Baltusrol, Sleepy Hollow, Piping
Rock. Garden City and Wykagyl have
all been mentioned.
Naming the Jersey battle ground is
another difficult matter. Atlantic City
Baltusrol, Morris County and Engle-
wood have been favored in the last
four years. Among the courses that
have not been favored Arcola would
undoubtedly do very well. This course
now has a fine turf, has been much
better bunkered and in the combina-
ton has its full share of attractive
interesting holes.
Another coming course around Ne"
York is Siwanoy. This course has
thoroughgoing collection Of holes that
call for first class iron play, and as
soon as the greens respond a trlhe
more to time and treatment Siwanoy
will be we'll up among the leaders.
improvements at Englewood are well
under way. The first hole has now been
trapped and bunkered into a high
standard hole of the drive and pitch va
riety, with two traps added to the fair
way and horseshoe trap almost. en-
circling the green. The first, fifth
seventh. tenth and eighteenth holes
have now been rearranged according to
the plans Of Donald Ross, with the re,
suit that each hole has been improved
at least so per cent.

New Haven, Dec. Yale will be I'M
able to place the University OF Penn
sylvania on its football schedule for
next fall, according to information re-
ceived tonight. II has been decided
to shorten the playing schedule, and at
the same time take on easier opponents
than the Quakers, who are regarded as
likely to prove one of the most for
midabe teams in the country next fall.
Yale hopes to give Penn a game be-
fore long, but a contest cannot be
arranged for next season. Bob Folwcll,
the Quaker coach, left here to-day
after a long session with the Yale Off

Difficult Matter to Name
Best Course in Metro
pOlitan District
By GRANTLAND RICE

There are over q hundred golf
courses built and bunkered within the
so-called limits of the metropolitan
district.
These hundred or more courses abb
serb over 10000 turf-carpeted acres
that run high into the millions by way
of monetary valuation.
Not only that they administer to the
recreation and sport Of over 10000
golfers.
OF these hundred or more courses,
not including the National or Lido,
which is the best? What is the order
of their rank?
The Nets Best
There might be some prejudice or
partisanship involved if this query
were put TO the vote of local golfers.
So to get a non-partisan, expert view
we put the question up to j. S. Worth
ington, the English star, now visiting
this country, who has played over most
of the great courses of the world, and
who, by virtue of his golf understand
ing, is worthy to judge. OF the lead
ing courses around New York he had
not played Piping Rock. Speaking for
the rest, he put Garden City we'll be-
yond any other metropolitan course,
with Nassau second. And back of these
two, as a golf test, he ranked Fox Hills
third.
"The Lido course, when completed, u
Mr. Worthington said, will be the
great course of New York-of America
But now Garden City is by all odds the
best course | have played-the bes;
test and the pleasantest to play. 1t has
the right distances, the proper trap
ping. the right sort of turf, and one
is constantly climbing or playing over

Two upsets, with prominent players
as the victims, added zest to the squash
tennis series between the combined
Princeton Squash Club team and the
Yale Club on the latter's court yester-
day. Although Charles NJ. Bull, jr.,
and Armin w. Riley, ranked second and
third. respectively, met with unex-
pected defeat, the Princeton Squash
men we're victorious by four matches
to three. They now head the Class A
division of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton championship tourney, with two
victories and no defeats.
Bull fell before Augustus J. Cordier,
of Yale. in the opening match of the
day. The scores were l5-9, $40.
Cordier was in great form. In both
games Bull was on the defensive and
trying vainly to keep his shots above
the telitale.
Riley's southpaw smsshes failed TO
puzzle Stewart II. Johnson, who won
by a score of l5-S, l5-l2. Johnson
played a clever game, showing a fine
change of pace and hard driving to the
front wall.
J. Ford Johnson had an opportunity
to turn the tide for Yale in the final
match, but falled. opposing hennelh
G.. Stern. of the Princeton Club, john
son won the first game, and was within
two points of victory in the second
game. Stern, however. rallied TO win,

score being 10 to II.

And yet knoW the whoe. Wide world IS mine
The fields the trees, the rivers and the sky,
And each far haunt TO which my restless feet

There is no yeolh TO which may lay claim;
No gold nor silver which the world hoLds dear;
And yet hold the pelotc gold which CLEANS

From each far star that lights my outbound wdy;

DIR. GREENE MAY RE-
 TURN TO HOSPITAL
Former Superintendent Enjoy ing Large Practice at Hot Springs-Stated Dr. Bledsoe Will Return to Virginia.

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-Rumors that Dr. J. L. Greene will soon return to Little Rock as the head of the State Hospital for the Treatment of Ner- vous Diseases, is going the rounds quite freely. It is stated that Dr.. E. P. Bledsoe will return to Virginia when he leaves the institution, of which he has been the head for some months, but if his lawyers decide to fight the case to the last, he can hold on until the last of December, as the decree of the Supreme Court would not become effective until that time, if the usual motions for delay are made, and by that time it will be almost time for Dr. c. H. Brough to become governor.
 Dr. Greene is enjoying very large practice in Hot Springs, so large that he has been forced to take an asso- ciate to assist in caring for it, and his friends insist that he would not abandon it to become superintendent of the institution again. Dr. Brough is known to be rather partial to Dr. Greene, and it is believed that an effort will be made by him to bring about the return of the eminent spe- cialist to the institution, but no other force would move him.

FARM OWNERSHIP.

Arkansas has too many tenant farmers. Exactly one-half the farm
 CTS of the state are tenants. This is
 the best year in our history for farm CTS to acquire land. We have too many small farms and this is a great year for the man with the small farm to add to his holdings. Thousands of farmers have more clear money than ever before and our land prices have not yet advanced although this is cer- tain before next spring. This is not a personal matter and not a matter of concern only to the farmer. It is of interest to bankers and merchants and preachers and everybody, to have more farm owners and fewer tenants. Let everybody talk in favor of farm ownership. Farm owners support schools, roads and churches better than do renters, no matter how good a man renter may be. Let everybody boost for more land owners and fewer tenants.

NEIGHBORHOODS ALL SEC
 TONS WOULD HAVE GOV.

Little Rock, Nov 13.-There is an amusing contest going on in Little Rock at present. It is between neigh borhoods of the city to see which will be selected by Dr. C. H. Brough, when he moves to Little Rock. Almost all of the residence neighborhoods have a fine house which can be leased, and each neighborhood is championing it's particular house with the hope that it will be the one selected.
 Arkansas has no executive mansion, so the governor must get out and find "a home among the houses offered. Heretofore there has been little social life, or entertaining, at the guberna- torial mansion, but Dr. and Mrs, Brough are expected to enter into this, and hence each neighborhood de- sires to boast of having the governor as one of it's residents.

ORGANIZING 1917
 GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Politicians Will All Be Busy Un- til Legislature Gathers in Jan uary - Many Conferences Daily.

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-With the election over, and the result definitely known, the politicians have begun the organization of the General Assembly for 1917, and almost daily conferences are held in Little Rock. They know now who the members will be, and can start to work upon them in the interest of their candidates. The number of Republicans will probably be larger than ever before, and the law which consolidates elections is bearing the blame. This will no doubt bring about bill to repeal the con- solidated election law, and should it pass, it will not go into effect until after the Brundidge primary bill is in operation. The friends of the election bill were the friends of the consoli- dated elections bill, and they state that with the primary bill in force they are not so much interested in the consolidation of elections, and with it in operation, the candidates need not be, for it means that the Democrats will nominate men in the future who will command the entire support of their party.
 While the politicians are active quite early, it is hardly probable that anything will be definitely determined until after the first of the year, fol the speaker of the House and presi- dent of the Senate have never been agreed upon before the week prior tC tn legislative session.

 "We must know all about cotton be- fore We buy it, and this cannot be secured through other agencies" he continued. "Wc must talk to the man who has the cotton to sell, or our agent, and find out all there is to be known. This has caused the exten- sion of the telephone lines in Arkan- sas until now every point where cot ton is handled is reached The small bank follows the cotton market, for cotton cannot be handled without a local bank. In this way the telephone has made the market and the market has made the bank which gives the telephone company the credit for de- veloping the state to a great extent"

AMENDMENT NO. l2
 BIG STEP FOR SiAlE
Says Superintendent of Public InstructiOn-AdvOcates Elec- tiOn County Superintendents in Every County.

George B. Cook, superintendent of public instruction, said yesterday that the adoption of Amendment No. 12 is the greatest step that has been taken in the educational affairs of Arkansas, and that its benefits cannot be over estimated.
 Mr. Cook said:
 "The adoption of Amendment No. 12 marks the first definite step which Arkansas has taken in the forward movement in education. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the benefi- cent effect which this legislation will have upon our school system It means, among other things, longer average school terms, more efficient and better paid teachers, better equip ment, comfortable and hygienic school houses, playgrounds, gymnasiums and the concomitants of first class grade schools.
 "The next vital improvement which l hope to see made in our educational system is the election of county super intendents in every county of the state. At present only 23 counties have Superintendents"
