play on Saturdays or Sundays. There
is nothing to show that such a distinct
III eed has arisen. If, therefore, there
are thousand men in the vicinity of
New York City who would like TO join
n club which is contiguous TO their
homes or convenient for travel we must
expect that they can play on weekdays
fully as many times as present mem
bers of clubs, which on the average
nowadays seems to be at least once
and a half a week. that Is, three times
in two weeks. outside OF the Saturdays
and Sundays.
There ara \ few facts which need
very little verifying. We do not know
of single club in any district in the
country Except municipal courses)
where there is sufficient play by mem
bers on the first four or Ave days after
Sunday to cause Inconvenience worth
noting by the addition of fifty other
players. In previous articles we have
shown that a club which will charge
sixty dollars a year to fifty associate
members will reduce the dues of the
other members about ten dollars per
man or enough to take caro- Of the
ma jor part If not all Of the war tax
which Is now still upon members dues
Keep tho Bunkers Durnfng.
There is nothing more desolate look
ing than q deserted golf course in the
middle of the day or afternoon. Why
do not club committees take cognizance
of this fact and keep the bunkers burn
ing. The reason advanced at several
committee and governors meetings
which we have attended was that ten
dollars or twenty dollars did not m6tter.
But seemingly change of heart has
taken place and lower priced golf has
been q slogan for the last two or
three months. The test will come some
time between a golfers selflshness and
his desire to secure a years recreation
az 4 moro reasonable price.
There have been many schemes adj
vanced lately by those contemplating
The building Of new courses which have
much to recommend them. Club houses
are to be made much simpler, with golf
instead of country club features as out
standing sureties; the dues are In all
cases lower than is the general average
o. links to-day. which means that tho
country club expense, as apart from the
golf play, Is considerable Of burden to
the golf player. But the one feature
which has appealed to many would be
members Is the small stated sum per
month they can pay toward securing
permanent ownership bond in the prop
erty.
Pay Ten Dollars a Month.
Instead of having to pay $1,000 or
$4,000 or some part thereof In one or
two payments two clubs of recent origin
have made 1t possible to pay $40 a
r,onth for certain stretch Of time. Now
it is known of course that this payment
per month Is loaded with interest
charges and the like. but even so the
slnallness of the sum has made 1t pos
sible for many a man to think twice be-
fore deciding to give up the idea Of
joining a club.
Other such schemes in the near future

to indulge in the game at even lesser

Opposition to Big Meet Cited
as One Reason for Athletic
Failure.

An example of the spirit which is
itate track and field athletics in Eng
land is furnished in the recent action Of
the Headnasters Conference. which re-
fused to let the schoolboys of England
compete in a big relay carnival to be
held In London on April s. This carni-
val viii be featured by Pennsylvania
racing against oxford and Cambridge.
The headmasters declare that the boys
would get too much publicity II they
competed in the relays. The subject is
handled with spirit in the London Field
as follows:
1t would be idle TO pretend that in
track and field athletics this country
still enjoys the prestige which once be-
longed to 1t. Our middle distance rum
ners can still hold their own with the
best. but at n championship or an inter-
national meeting 1t may be an open
question which OF the foreigners will
win the sprints and the hurdle race, the
jumps and the weight and hammer.
We shall take note OF only one of the
causes which have produced the plainly
discernible effect. because IL Is a cause
which can and ought TO be Immediately
removed. The clubs affiliated with the
Amateur Athletic Association have neg
lected the promotion of interteam con-
tests for the cult of handicap racing.
The collection OF gate money Is the
meanest of the several objects for which
athletic meetings arc held.

British programmes do, mainly or

who very much prefer quality to guam

that the greatest possible number Of
young men sheuld be induced to train

prove that excess OF handicap racing
does not produce champions. The records
of Olympic games and other interna-
tional meetings demonstrate the tri.'h
OF the proposition beyond possibility of
doubt.
