CANADIANS PLAN
NEW GOLF COURSE
NEAR SOMERVILLE

Wealthy Canadians of New York and
Philadelphia are planning to start a
golf club, for which l,400 acres have
already been acquired. Robert |. Hen
derson. a Toronto manufacturer Of
shells, announced yesterday that the
Canadians living in this section never
had a country club and that already
more than fifty prominent Canadians
had decided TO fill this gap.
The property secured for the golf
course and clubhouse is the Belle
Mead Farms. near Somerville, \. j.,
midway between New York and Phila-
delphia, on the Philadelphia & Read
ing line. II is planned that the mem
bers will erect there not only their
clubhouse but their homes.
Mr.. Henderson states that the course
will be one of the finest in this coun-
try and that the initial outlay for the
proposition is more than 81 100000

Amateur Skaters in First
Speed Contests of Season

The first OF series of indoor speed
skating races under the auspices Of
the Eastern Skating Association was
held last night at the ST. Nicholas Ice
Rink, with a majority of the fastest
amateurs in this city competing. Oscar
Mathieson. of Norway. who was to have
skated in the half and one mile handi-
cap races, did not face the starter.
Mathieson announced his intention of
entering the professional ranks a few
weeks ago, and this made him ineligible
last night. according TO the officials or
the association.

fancy and scrobatic skating exhibition

Binzen, Playing Through

Only sixteen boys had survived the
test yesterday afternoon when the third
round Of play in the second annual ma

pionship tournament had been com
pleted. Elliott Binzen, playing through

champion; Willard Bottsford, Colum-
bia. former public school boy champion,
and F. ". Hopkins. Yale University
were among the favorites 10 come

A start also was made in the doubles,
with thirty-two pairs entered, and most
Of the first round was completed. IL
is planned to devote the entire after
noon to-day TO this division, with the
idea of bringing the boys out 10 the
semi-fnal round.

Now that the singles are approaching
The decisive stages, interest IS drawn
TO Binzcn and Letson, who seem fated
10 meet in the fifth round tomorrow
morning. The champion had no trou-
bic ct all in defeating Fred Barrett. OF

while Letson. playing two matches
showed some fine tennis In hrst van
gushing J. A. McDonough, a school
mate. at 60. 60. and then elimlna'-
ing John Mclaughlin. Of Fordham Uni
versitv. in a three-set match by score
Of e, 60, g.
This morning Binzen will have to dis
nose of D. L. Nichols, of Curtis High
School. before advancing into the fifth
round brackets. while Letson must take
the measure Of Merritt Cutler. the
strong player from Pratt Institute.
Provided the two champions are sue,
cessful i'm these encounters. they Will
have to settle the question of suprem-
acv between themselves, and the winner
will probably appear as fnalist IN the
lower half.
Binzcn and Letson are close friends,
each anxious to see the other advance
in the lawn tennis world, but should
they meet all else will be forgotten
exceDt the determination 10 conquer
We rather incline toward Binzen, when
IL comes 10 picking the winner, because

Former Lightweight Will
ing to Come Out of Re
tirement for $4,000
By W. o. MCCLELLAN

Packey Mcfarland is ready to DO Just
one more comeback. The boxing game
is rustling so much easy money these
DAYS that Packey has decided TO take
a few weeks off to collect $4,000 or
so for Waiting ten gentle rounds With
some safe and sane sparring partner
Packey's antagonist will be Ted Kid
Lewis. one OF the welterweight con
tenders, and the bout will be for the
alleged welterweight championship. Inc
boxers are waiting until boxing IS
legalizcd in the State of Illinois. when
they will initiate, and probably XIII,
the sport on the first night.
Mcfarland has not boxed since he
and Mike Gibbons staged the famous
$4,000 fasco at Brighton Beach.
Packey announced after that session
that he was through with the game
forever But the unprecedented boom
that has come into pugilism since Les
Darcy beat the recruiting sergeant IN
/, his long race. has reused the business
instincts in f-ackey. There IS too much
easy money about for Packey TO stay
out of il. .,
OF course If the boxing bill should
fail TO pass in Illinois Paekey is Will
ing to take the long and arduous trip
10 New York 10 box il. Madison Square
Garden. Like Willard, Packey is dis
porting something of a bay window
but modern boxing is not too great an
exerticn even for fat men.
Globe Trotter Jack Grace, who was
born in the Bowery, but who has
visited every village and hamlet on the
face Of the globe, was pleasant caller
last night.
Jack is the fesourceful person who
worked a phoney Fitzsimmons on the
unsuspecting inhabitants Of Buenos
Avres in the days when Fitz was the
heavyweight champion. Jack picked
up a New York longshoreman and
painted a few freckles on him TO rep
resent Fitz. The pseudo champion was
knocked out in the first round, and
Grace had almost as hard time IN
getting to a boat as Darcy had.
They didn't have much appreciation
OF fighters and managing intellect in
those DAYS" said Jack sadly. "Remem
Der when toured the world with Asia
Bill Boot and Cannonball JACK? They
were two of the finest fighters that
ever pulled 4 punch; leastways, they
were as good as any we have to-day
but they didn't draw.
Nobody turned out at the dock 10
meet US. If they did it was some one
from the police force to ask us 10
please skip their port. This hullabal-
loo over Darcy makes me sick when
think Of the coldness displayed toward
Asia Bill Boot and Csnnonball Jack
Why. you'd think that this fellow Darcy
was Doc Cook, or somebody, the way
/ they are hanging wreaths on him"
