GOLF UNHAMPERED
BY INCREASING TAX
Clubs Thrive Despite Rate
Rise and Pay, Too, Ayers
Expert Assessor.

BY the Associated Press.
~ OSTON. November 21.-Higher
- taxes have not hampered COLTS
growth the Association of Mas
- sachuettS Assessors has been in
formed by John r. Prescott,
Newton tax expert, who read a paper
on the taxation of golf properties.
Though most golf clubs are situated In
rapidly growing sections, and have been
facing a steady increase in tax assess
mentS, no reports have been received OF
golf clubs giving up or liquidating, he
said.
In summing up the situation, Mr..
Prescott said:
There appears to be no doubt that
golf is here to stay. for underlying 1t are
some of the strongest human impulses.
such as the appeal of the outdoors, the
appeal of a distinct social atmosphere
for the individual and the family, and
an aroused sporting enthusiasm ex-
pressed in matches, tournaments and
championships.
With ali this work back of it, it Is
not likely that golf will lose its interest
or momentum ia our day. The golf in
duStry is a going business, steadily en-
larging and its properties can be con-
servatively assessed with this in MIND.
Broadly speaking, it has no idle plants,
no CbSolescence. no depreciation. It is
a dependable source of taxable revenue" !"
The expert pointed out to the assessors
that the golf club has so far escaped
the publicity and study that has been
given to almost every other kind Of tax
able property in Massachusetts,. 1t has
kept itself in the background, he said,
generally accepting the verdict of as
SCISSORS with few protests. making rare
appearances on the abatement books
and never as far as he knew, appealing
to county commissioners or courts.

Herald. who died suddenly at his home
here yesterday. may be held tomorrow
at Hines funeral parlors, 2OOl Four
teenth street. although no definite ar
raugement will be made until John

Bill as Coyle was well and affection
ateiy known by other newspaper men
and a host of sports followers, was
fatally stricken with a heart attack
shortly before noon yesterday at his
apartment in 1861 Fairmont street. For
some years he had been afflicted with
heart trouble, and an illness had kept
him at home several days prior to his
death. Apparently he felt well enough
yesterday morning to return to his
sports desk at the Herald, for his body,
discovered on the floor of the apartment
by friends, who had called to inquire
about his health, was almost fully
clothed He was in his thirty-ninth
year, having been born at Reading on
March IA. 1890.
Coyle had been connected with the
Herald since 1919, when ne came TO
Washington from Reading. He first
held position at the copy desk of the
paper, but soon was transferred TO the
sports department. and in 1925 became
sports editor. He was a member of the
Base Ball Writer'S Association of Amer
lea and for several seasons covered the
game for his paper. He also handled
race track assignments but his special
ty was basket ball, game of which he
wrote most enthusiastically.
Coyle first became identified with
newspaper work in his home town.
where he worked in the sports depart
ment of the News-TimeS. At that time
a brother. Charles, was sports editor of
the Reading Eagle.
Besides John. Coyle also is survived by
another brother. Cormic. who recently
has been living in Youngstown, Ohio.

prove that time has not dimmed his

showed Darcy Banagan. the assistant

That. We believe. is almost a record
for that stretch of the Columbia course.
for in the streak are IL pars and
bir0ie. Consistency plus. And Banagan
paid.
. Harry eastman believes, however,
that there are hat tricks and hat
tricks as he harkS back to the day
that Louis A. Julien missed a shot a
hole against him for the first three
holes in a tournament match at Wash
ington and won all three of the holes
with brides At the first hole Julien,
according to eastman, played his sec
ond shot from trap and holed q
birdie 3. At the second his tee shot
went far down the bank at the left
of the green in a spot where he could
not see the pin, and he holed out from
there. And at the third hole he ran
in chip shot for the third successive
birdie.
Out at BannOckburn one of the men,
bers of the club has gathered together
samples of all the kinds of fancy tees
he can find, and has strung them
all together on a board which repoSes
in Tony SylvesterS shop II is hard
to believe there are so many kinds of
tees in existence until they are all
gathered in one place for inspection.
There must be IS or 30 different kinds
of such devices. At Columbia Hugh
H. Saum has attempted to do much
the same thing. but his collection is
not nearly as extensive as the Bannock-
burn collection.

At the conclusion OF a preliminary
hearing before Judge Downs, the
court held that no proof had been
presented by the district attorneys
office that Major McGlone was guilty
of criminal negligence.
There were but two questions for
the court to consider in determining
whether or not the defendant should
be held to answer to the superior
court on a charOe of manSlaughter
Judge Downs declared. One was
question of inUoAlUa.lon. Admitting
that McGlone had partaken OF IN
toXicants two and half hours before
the tragedy, there was nothing IN
the evidence submitted to show that
he was under the influence Of liquor
at the time the woman was killed
the court held.
The second question dealt with the
speed at which McGlone was driving
when his automobile struck Mrs
Nishan and her daughter, Isabel
The court held that he could conceive
of cases where a motorist could be
guilty of violating the speed laws
and still not be sufficiently reckless
in his driving to be held criminallJ
responsible for the death OF some
person growing out of an accident
The color OF the clothing worn by
the victim and her daughter entered
into the courts findings, Judge
Downs declared, as did other factors

courtroom and surrounded him tC
