BIG CADDIE EARNINGS.
Metropolitan Golfers Pay a High
Price for Their Sport.

NEW YORK. January From the
5000 annual rounds played over the
Whitemarsh Country Club course. at
Philadelphia, to the 100000 rounds sup
posed to have been played in a single
year on public course at Jackson
Park. in Chicago, is a far stretch, but,
according to the caddie figures given
out recently by the Philadelphia golf
clubs. there is more chance for the
boys on private links that have only
a tenth part of the number Of golfers
that throng over the public courses.
At the public courses in the various
cities there is scant supply of boys,
and even the small number that are on
hand are poorly patronized.
The caddie earnings on the smaller
Philadelphia courses average about
$4,000, and in the case Of the larger
and more important clubs the amount
runs up to really amazing proportions
The Philmont Country Club found that
it's boys made the trip around the
Evening star., 1916-01-07

course more than $4,000 times last year
for a total of more than $4,000. but this
does not begin to compare with the
total at the Merton Cricket Club and
other such links. where the caddie ex-
penses must run up to nearly 100000.
In the case of many of our popular
metropolitan courses like Baltusroi
wykagyl, Scarsdale and others. 1t IS
safe to say that there are at least 2oo
rounds of the links made each week
during a season of twenty weeks, max
ing a total of $4,000 rounds conserva-
tive estimate for the season. The price
to the caddie for the round Of the links
varies between what the caddies them
selves call "a big thick half" and q
crisp bill, depending on the generosity
of the players. But the seventy-six
clubs in the Metropolitan Golf Associa-
tion probably spend more than $1,000
900 on caddies each year.

Last season Cole was informed, after a

SUIT TO BE WITHDRAWN.
Feds to Meet Next Week and Sign
Letter Agreeing to It.

CHICAGO. January Federal
League base ball men have not drop
ped into oblivion entirely, now that
Charles Weeghman has acquired the
Chicago Cubs and Phil Ball the st.
Louis Browns. The men who were as
ISOLATED in the organization will meet
Wednesday in New York to dissolve
and clean up any business left over
from last season.
One of the most important subjects
to come up is the decision to Withdraw
the base ball suit from the court of
Judge Lands. It was believed that
this action would be taken as soon as
Weeghman acquired the Cubs and the
peace compact was signed, but that
is not SO. According to the new presi-
dent of the Cubs, every owner who was
connected with the Federal League
last season will have to attach his
name to letter of consent giving the
leagues attorneys the right to with
draw the case.
AS soon as this is done in New York
Wednesday the Federal Leagues at
torneys will be advised to withdraw
the case that caused so much comment
around the country.

mud and the little girl fell, rolling and
sliding into the dark waters of the
flooded pond

child, and before the water covered the

dripping and painting up the bank and
laid the little one at her mothers feet.
AS for the mother, she stopped and
gathered her darling into her arms and
covered her face with kisses. The lit
tie thing was weak from fright, but
she was conscious and she drew from
her mother and patted the dog with
her little dimpled hand, saying, "Good
doggie, to fish Amy out" Her mother
gave a trembly little laugh and putting
both arms about the huge intelligent
animal she cried, "0h my brave dog;
