is in all other sports put together,
including baseball. football. racing,
polo. tennis and the rest of it.
The 100000 acres alone, usually in
a high-priced district which the
country club has helped TO make
valuable. run into fabulous figures.
figures almost beyond belief.
And against something like fifty
or sixty big baseball and football
stands or stadiums, there are over
1000 country clubs that cost a lot
of important money.
1t also costs more to play golf
than it does baseball. football or
tennis. Quite a bit more. to remove
any camouf1age. And the tremend-
Gus growth of this game in spite of
this cost has been proof enough
that its appeal is nationwide and
still on the up swing. And in spite
of the cost it will always be on the
up swing. as it combines a game
and form of competition with a
striking appeal. and beyond this a
journey into the open places of the
world just a trifle apart from the
crowded ways.
All Sections.
This tremendous growth in golf
has assailed all sections. 1t has
been a big feature around New York
and Chicago, where most Of the old
er clubs have waiting lists that are
a league in length.
California and Florida are sprout-
ing new courses every other day,
and many of these arc first class in
every way. In fact, most of the new
courses being built are first class
The growth has carried on into the
smaller cities. George AIDE remark
ed the other day that it was only a
question of year or two until ev-
cry small town in the Middle West
had ;ts golf course, public or pri-
vate. Nineteen hundred and twenty
has been TO easy financial year, so
we have been informed by those
who should know better than we do.
But. in spite of tight money, the
phenomenal growth has spread
from the North through the South
and from the East through the
West. 1t seems to us that we hear
of a new course every day, and IL
the cost can only be reduced, as il
will be in many places, there soon
viii be from 100000 ito 100000
active players in America with an
appeal that strikes at all ages be-
tween Is and IS, and that extends
it's lure to the only two sexes that
amount to anything upon, this new
well-explored globe.

A camp follower of golf desires
to known how much money has
been invested or spent in golf
properties in the United States. =
This query leads us out into
waters just a trif1e beyond our
depth. No such set of figures has
ever been published. so far as we
know, and no such inventory has
ever been made.
But no prophetic wizardy. is re-
quired to announce that the amount
is astounding. staggering and all
the rest of il.
A Few Figures.
When Lido was built some years
ago we'll over s1.000.00O was requir-
ed to build and develop the course,
now one of the greatest in the
world.
When Thomas G. Plant had COM
pleted his golf project around the
Bald Peak Country Club, in New
Hampshire. the cost wasn't any
less than 11,500,000.
This is. of course. well beyond
the ordinary run. Other golf
courses in small towns have been
completed for few thousand
dollars, especially where there is
sandy soil to work on.
The new Pelham course. in West
chester County, n. Y, has figured
that around 100000 will buy the
ground and pay for the final details
of leaving a championship course
by next May or June. Around big
cities something like 100000 is now
needed to purchase, the ground.
build a clubhouse and lay out a
course.
Just at present there are at
least 1000 golf courses within the
strict confines of the United States
of America. At least that many,
with others popping up like spring
vegetables, after an April rain.
To say what the average cost of
these courses is-well, no one can
say it, because no one knows.
But as most of them are in big
cities, or near big cities, where
property is high, VIC doubt very
much that a cool billion would
buy out the entire holdings.
Here is s1,5o0,00 spent on a golf
course most of you haven't heard
about, and only a year or two ago
the New York Giants with the
most valuable franchise in baseball
and the largest stand sold for only
a trifle over million.
Beyond AL Others.
Undoubtedly there is more money
invested and spent in golf than there

Catholics Scheduled to Play
Three Cage Games on

Catholic University tossers with a
win over the fast Lehigh quint al

their belts leave today for their
Christmas-week Northern trip on
which they will see cage action in
three games.
Coach Freddie Rice, ten players,

trip. The first stop will be in Penn
sylyania where the Brooklanders
hook up with the speedy Villanoys

with the Quakers the Catholics move
on to West Point where they will
battle the Cadets Wednesday night
From there they travel to New York

the trip although Coach Rice has his
eyes on some youngsters whom he
may take along for tryouts
Kelly, Dunn and Lynch have been
showing extraordinary form for the
Brooklanders for so carly in the sea
son and have practically cinched
their places as regulars on the team
Dunn. the only holdover from last
season, is one of the most steady
players in local college circles. He
| is the type of man who is capable of
not only fighting himself but of put
ting the old drive and snap into the
, rest of the squad. There is rarely a
lapse of speed and drive with Dunn
in the fray. Rice considers his team
capable OF winning all three starts
on the present trip although he ad-
mits his boys will have to step 10

MARYLAND U LISTS
TEN GRID BATTLES
Yale, Syracuse and N. c.. State
Clashes Feature
Schedule.

Maryland University is to face
some of the classiest grid opposi-
tion in the East next fall, according
to the schedule announced yester-
day by Coach Curly Byrd, athletic
director of the Oriole institution.
Ten games have been listed, of
which number five at least will
make the College Parkers step
high. wide. and handsome if they
are to be returned victors.
The severance of all athletic re-
lations with Hopkins automatically
cuts off the annual Thanksgiving
game with that institution. How
ever, North Carolina State. mucn
stronger aggregation. has. been
listed to take the Medico's place on
the schedule and is expected to
provide considerably stiffer opposi-
ton. The game will be played in
Baltimore, where it will probably
draw at least as many people as the
annual Maryland-H Hopkins event.
Syracuse. the eleven which was
sent to defeat by the toe of Untz
Brewer and the general all-around
class of the Marylanders this sea-
son, is the third game on the Col
lege Parkers schedule next year
This game. coming so early in the
season. makes it particularly hard
for Curly and his proteges, who
have high hopes of hanging another
shanty on the heavy Northerners.
However the change from Novem-
Der ) to earlier in the season was
necessary because Yale had offered
the College Parkers an engagement
November 5. and October was the
only other open date on the Orange
schedule.
The game with the Bulldog is to
be played in the Yale Bowl. Last
time the Marylanders played the
Blue they drew the largest crowd
ever in the Bowl except to see one
of the Big Three" battles. The COLI
lece Parkers drew 21.000 people. a
mark which no other Southern
eleven has approached.
Games with Georgia Tech, L. of
Alabama, Princeton and West Vir-
-inia were all turned down by the
Maryland authorities as offers from
these schools came after the locals
schedule had been completed. George
Washington and Maryland also at
tempted to get together but failed
because both teams had prior con-
tracts on each others open dates.
However. they expect to reach an
agreement for annual battles in the
future.
The schedule follows:
Sept. "a. Randolph Macon (pend-
inG); Oct. l, Rutgers at New
Brunswick; Oct. s. Syracuse at
syracuse; Oct. Is. ST. Johns: Oct.

Oct. 90. University of North Caro-
lima: Nov. 5. Yale at New Haven;

HOLLYER'S COMMENT
y on the Sport of Kings
By BERT T.. COLLYER

dHlOCHe.
Some monicker for a bang-tail,
wot? Nevertheless, this baby can
run and run fast when the occasion
warrants. Is nicely placed in the
fifth at New Orleans this afternoon.
Will have a good boy in the pilot
house and the right kale is planted
where it will do the most good.
Therefore. ] imagine Fantoche will
be on the front end of the process
sion when the pay-off station is
reached. White Star is likely to be
the keenest contender. Those close
to the stable are awfully sweet on
this bird. Bunga Buck has a chance
to be third. Secretary goes for the
coonskihs in the opener. It's a tuff
spot, but with good racing luck
can connect. Pimlico has worked
awfully we'll for this effort and will
be knocking at. the door. Mabel
Josephine just cannot be worse than
third. Old Opportunity ought to be
converted into sausage meat If he
don't cop the second. Conditions
are made to order and the track
will just suit his bad underpinning
Lancelot and Pueblo have the bal
anee of the purse between them.
Harvey Smarr should connect with
the grares in the third. Hasn't a
thing to beat. Salute is a sleeper
Tab this bird closely. DIR. Campbell
has been knocking at the door in
recent efforts and is one of the i'm
proving kind.
Mahony has. finally found the
right spot. Any old price will be a
good one, l look for him to win all
III,
sensationally fast and, under a
strong rider. may trim Panaman for
the place. The latter has not raced
to best form yet. Brotherly Love
is sent along by the clockers as their
three-star special. The boys make
few mistakes, SO as the coogee
paunyip would say-A little flutter
hcreatouts might be worth while.
Do you get me?
All over but the shouting in the
last. II. c. Basch, keyed to concert
pitch and with his running shoes
on, will come back jumping down
to 'Murp." and the price won't be
short, either. Pit and Paddy Dear

bor In the country with the longest
hours. And, unlike any city worker,
the farmer IS on duty, for emergency
calls at least, all through the night
as well as the day.
Certainly there is no argument
about the farmer taking full reSpon-

sometimes makes, and he takes his
losses, too, regardless of the hard
labor and long hours he puts in.
VIII CITY labor agree to this?
They wouldn't in Russia. When
the BolSheviki turned all factories
over to the workers, the latter raised
their own pay to the skies, refused
to work with efficiency, laid off Of

ing went to the dogs. Result; The
Bolsheviki discontinued workers
factory councils and put the stout
est discipline into effect. Today the
Russian city worker is treated more

1t is quite a problem. But, if la
Dor agreed to take his profits and

we might have better democracy.
