THOUSANDLINKSIN IN
DSTATESN NOW
Famous Scottish Game of Golf
Is Being Well Nurtured by
Our SportSmen.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-According to
the latest available statistics. there are
now more than a thousand listed golf
courses in the United States. All the
golf associations have announced ad-
ditions to their ranks this year. Four
new clubs have been added to the Met
ropolitan Golf observation-disclosures
Belleport, Arcola, and Woodmere. The
New Jersey State Golf Association has
recruited ten new members in the last
year, and has now thirty-seven clubs in
its membership.
The United States Golf Association
gained nineteen clubs during the year.
TwentY-four new clubs were elected to
allied membership and six new clubs
were elected to active membership. but
eleven allied clubs were lost on account
of nonpayment of dues or designations.
OF the thousand or more listed links
in this country, about 800 are east of
the Mississippi. The number west of
the river is increasing each year, how
ever and the undue proportion between
the geographical sections is diminishing
every season.
The metropolitan district is the most
thickly populated golf section in the
United States. having seventy-six clubs
in the NJ. G. A, which are within an
approximate distance OF fifty miles
from New York city. New York leads
among the individual States with liz
courses. and Massachusetts is second
with 119.
More than 400 of the listed clubs are
I'm the small corner of the United
States consisting of New York and the
New England States. In contrast To
this is the great eXpanse of the whole
southern district, with less than a hun
dred links from coast to coast.

Western Leads Circuit on Of
tense and Defense in Fifteen
Games Played.
PEINE is OUT IN FRONT
Red and White Forward Makes
Record in Shooting Fourteen
Baskets From Floor.
BY BRYAN MORSE.

With one-half the Interscholastic
Basketball League schedule COM
pleted, players and followers are
wondering if any of the teams will
be able to- bounce Western out OF
the lead. Comparative records in the
fifteen games run off show the Red
and White athletes far in the van
as figures go, although there are
those who maintain that Army and
Navy Prep, Business, and Central
have a chance to come forward in
the closing days of the campaign.
Western has been closely pressed
on but one occasion and that was
when the Army and Navy Props
played them to a 35 to 20 battle.
The Props were never in the lead
and although Western was forced to
extend itself as in no other contest
the team was admittedly not in the
best of shape. The Georgetown boys
set an unusually high standard on
both offense and defense as the fig
ures show and possess not only the
two best shooters in the league, but
guards which have held down the
opposition to small figures.
If one we're to select the best players
in the circuit on records the choice
would lie between Peine of Western,
Miller of A. N. p. and Marbury of
Central. as the forwards; Peek Of
Western, Macdonald of Business, and
Knddsen OF A. N. p, as, centers, and
Whelchel and Sergeant of Western.
Glessner of Business, and Gibney and
Gilmartin of A. N. p. as guards.
Bill Culligan rounded out a great
career- at Business. With-~an, enviable
mark. but will be lost to the team in
future.
The scores made in the fifteen games
are as follows:
/. Western. IS; Business. 1s.
2. st. Adams. 40; Eastern. 10.
3. A. N, Props, 30; Central, 26.
4. Business. a; Eastern. 10.
5. Western, 66; St. Adams, 8.
+. Business, 35; A. N. Preps, 10.
Z. Central, %: Eastern. 10.
s. Western, So; A. n. Preps, 20.
8. Central, "a; st. Adams, 10.
10. Western, 49: Eastern, s.

Is. A. n. Props, 35; Eastern, "a
1t will be noted that both Business
and the Army and Navy Ereps have
maintained an even stride during their
five games. Western has stuck TO its
high scoring procvilities, while Eastern
has improved noticeably in holding
down opponents and getting points for
itself.

The next league games will he played
tomorrow week at the Arcade, when

and Eastern are slated to resume the

be battling for top honors, while East

Business as coach today, and has named

Western Is fortunate In having several
players added to the squad who will be-
come eligible tomorrow. Wilbert Thon1p-

Nevins Gardner, and Dickinson Jewett
will be used in the games in future,
giving some Of the regulars a rest.

SUFFRAGE VALENTINES
POUR IN ON CONGRESS

Every member of Congress,
in both houses-irrespective
of whether he is gay bache-
lor or a grandfather, like
Senator Smoot, who at a re-
cent banquet Wanted over
Senator Johnson of Maine,
because he has FIVE grand
children received dainty
valentines yesterday.
They came from all over
the United States, indicating
that St. Valentine has some
lively propaganda agent at
work. Some of the more
bashful members of Congress
tried to secrete their dainty
missives, until they discov-
cred that they were sent by
suffragists at the instigation
of the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, re-
minding the legislators that
they are expected to expedite
the passage of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment to the
Constitution.
Representative George w.
Loft of New York received
one of the cleverest of these
valentines. Of course, the
fact that he is a candy manu-
facturer gave the sufragists
an unusually good opport-
nifty to wheedle him. The
verses sent him are:
Who is it eats your famous sweets
By million pounds a year?
You've just one guess-We wom-
en-, Yes,
Your judgment. George, is clear
rich,
It's now your turn at bat.
Be good enough to vote for US
Well hold you. George. to that

Then you will be our candidate.
