CHARITY BALLS are becoming
~ smaller these days--and there
fore pleasanter. Time was when
there were but three or four q
season, that one feared to have
ones gown torn off in the crush.
Now, however, one dares to wear
ones newest and prettiest frock-
and pretty nearly everybody does.
The result Is that these semi
public balls take on much the
aspect of smart private parties.
This was certainly true Of the ball
given last night In aid Of Colum-
bia Hospital and voted one of the
most successful In point of en-
joyment II not of finances, Of the
early seasons grist Of balls.
It was given at Rauscher's, tho

the ante room and both bathrooms
being used for the dancing. In
the large mirrored ballroom flags
were used by way Of decoration
and there were flowers In profu.
sion everywhere.
Supper was served In the din
ing room down stairs, the guests
grouping themselves about small
tables and the Overflow" grouping
themselves on the stairs In pic-

cessful. Various features of the move
ment will doubtless be discussed to-
night.
According to the American Golf
Guide for 1921. there are fifty six pub
lie golf courses in the United States.
At least score of other courses arc
under construction finished or being
planned since that list was compiled
1t has just been announced in Bal
timore that another course will be built
in that city in new property purchased
near West Forest and. Howard Park.
Buffalo, another of the smaller cities,
is planning TO, add two more courses
to the two public links it has already.
And so forth.
The rates in Philadelphia for playing
at Cobbs Creek are different from most
Of the other courses listed. At fifteen
of the fifty six there is no charge what
ever for the public to play golf.
No information is printed about
eleven others. OF the remaining thirty
it is interesting to note that only one,
Van Cortland. is listed with a higher
daily fee than Philadelphia. The New
York charge is said to be zone buck. "
Here the registry fee is 81. with a fec
for the day without that of fifty cents.
Rates Differ
At eight courses the yearly fee is $40
two charge SO, five So, the rest from s;
to 81 per year. Nine charge fifty cents
per day, eight twenty five cents and til,
rest from fifteen cents down to nothing.
AS sporty course Cobbs Crccl
probably ranks with any. The incessan
drive and steady march of feet, how
ever. has made it difficult to keep W
the greens and do necessary work il
spite of the best efforts of those il
charge. The local course is very diff
ficult for the beginner.
At San Antonie, Breckenridge Parl
is such test that the big winter opcl
tournament will be staged there. It's
fine course. the river crossing it il
fifteen different places.
Philadelphia, with its one course
ranks with such cities as Cleveland
Newark. Louisville. Washington, Syra
cuse, Bridgeport, Worcester and tn
like.
The time is ripe for more.

GEORGE X. o. CIIANEY, of Balti-
" more. scored technical knockout
over Alex Hart. of Cleveland. in the
windup at the lee Palace last night.
Hart after the third round claimed
Clancy had hit him low. Referee Floyd
did not listen to his appeal and called
the club physician, who, after an ex-
animation, stated that foul had not
been committed. The bell sounded be-
fore the examination was completed,
with Hart still in his corner.
"'rhc fights off" said Floyd. Hart
did not answer the bell and that ends
the contest The shows over
CLANCY pulled on his robe and left
the ring. while Hart remained seated
in his corner. He remained in his cor
ner for three minutes and then moved
across the ring to the aisle leading to
the dressing rooms. while the crowd
vented its displcasurc.
The punch. claimed by Hart to have
been foul. was delivered by CLANCY
after the bell had sounded. Both men
were mixing it at lively gait and
neither heard the gong 1t was ncces-
Sary to extnguiSh the lights before they
stopped battling. The last punch was n
left to the heart by CLANCY. Hart did
not say anything, but walked to his cor =
ner and sat down. Then he motioned
to Floyd. who paid no attention to him.
At the end Of the second round
Hnrt'S seconds claimed n foul also. This
punch. too. was fair blow and it was
apparent that Hart was not hurt.
Up until the third round both boys
fought hard. with Chaney's blows
carrying more force. Hart wincing on
several occasions. The first round was
even, while CLANCY took the second

proved to be the final stanza.

US MORE PUBLIC
GOLF COURSES" CRY FANS
Many Cities Haze More
Public Links Than Phild.

Philadelphia is much in the rear
of other cities, smaller than itself
some Of them, in the matter of pub
lie courses. Chicago leads the list
with five.
New York, with three coursess
took in n total of 500 ,023 last year,
and the upkeep of the courses cost
$4,000, profit TO the city of
S23,023. Despite this. the fees have
been doubled. which has caused
furore over there.
One object Of the boosted fees is
to relieve the congestion, 'tis said.

have more than one course:

Matter Of Municipal Links
Likely to Be Brought Up at
Golf association Meeting
Tonight
FINANCES" THE RUB
By SANDY McNIBLICK

"TINE us more public golf courses. "
~ This cry Is being taken up all
along the local links loop with ever
increasing enthusiasm lately and things
have come TO such pass that II locks
nS though City Council would have
to act in the matter, despite it's ap-
parent reluctance.
The greatest golf need in this city
nj the present time said one of the
officials of the local golf association
this morning. lis more public golf
courses 1t Is a shame that thousands
are deprived of the health giving quail
tiles, the sport and the general good
of the game of golf. The jam at Cobb S
Creek all the time virtually takes all
the pleasure out Of the game.
Its an outrage that this city only
has one course. 1t is far behind other
cities, some of them half its size"
Meeting Tonight
The annual meeting of the Golf AS
Soriation of Philadelphia will be held
tonight Mt s o'clock in the Bellevue
Stratford. 1t is confidently expected
that the matter of public courses will
be brought up. 1t will be rcmcm-
bcrpd that the district association did
much to bring about the building of a
course at Cobbs Greek.
4 committee of the local association
conferred with the Park Commission,
which was brought over to the project.
Ground was purchased at CObbs Greek
end the course laid out by ardent work.
crs Of the type of George Klaudcr and
Ab Smith, who gave their personal
time to the work till it was finished.
T.. Il. StOtCSbury, of the Parl;
Commission. drove off the first ball on
Decoration Day six or seven years ago.
1t was the frst ball he'd ever driven,
and. ms one official f"cctiously said. II
Mr.. Stotcsbury had missed that bal
the course might not have been opened.
This municipal course was thus
started and actively pushed by the Coll
Association Of Philadelphia. which has
not stopped at this lone success.
1t has been constantly in touch Will
the Commission on the subject OF Other
courses, and two more courses are
actually laid out on the maps, ono a
Pennypack Greek and the other at Ia
cony Park. Their building is mat
! ter of finances.
The Park Commission is said tc
! favor heartily the plans of the Col
Association and is now earnestly seek
! ing the wherewithol to finance thu
proposition.
Chief Interested
No more earnest worker on th
subject of municipal courses for th
city Is to be found than Robert w
Lesley, president of the district asso
ciation. Mr.. Lesley has been strictl,
and diligently 'on the job and be
licyes that the cNmp0ign win be sue
