"BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YO ‘LATEST POPULAR PASTIME ‘EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN ANOTHER GOLF COURSE OF 18 HOLES PLANNED FOR VAN CORTLANDT Enthusiasts of Bronx County Would Relieve Congested Condition on Old Links. ULAR PASTIME: “CALLING IT OFF” Copyright, 114 by The Preas Publishing Co. (The New York World). ‘There in a movement afoot in LJ County to lay out a new elghteed hole golf course on the big hill in Vi Cortlandt Park. The new course wag planned a long time ago, but was never carried out because so many persons are to be found swinging golf clubs on the old course all day long that it would be dangerous for work- - men to attempt to make any changes. Congested conditions in Van Cort- landt Park have been discussed re- cently in various taxpayers’ associa- tlons of the Bronx. It is now sug- gested that golfers be charged a fee of 26 cents when driving from the first tee, the money to be devoted to the improvement of the links. “If a charge were made,” Bronxite, “it would discourag raany persons who have no real fond- ness for the game. It would also have the effect of eliminating those who merely ‘swat’ the |, Or ming it and use pointed expressions, In short, it would give the real golfers @ chance.” The clubhouse in the park is at Present used by the Scottish-Ameri- can G. C.; New York G. C.; New York Newspaper G. (. and Squadron A, Still another club is being formed. The links are supervised by Jules Burgevin, who has been retained by the new administration.

RTHUR IRWIN, who ecouts for the Highlanders, has hit on a novel A plan to satisfy ball players by practically abolishing the reserve clause. Irwin suggesta, and his ideas will scon be forwarded to all the owners of major league clubs, that instead of a club reserving all its players after the season closes, it be permitted to hold only the most, seven of its best playere—the so-called stars of the team. then favors throwing the rest of the players on the open market. In other words, he would make all but the stars of a team free agents with the privilege of selling their services to the highest bidders. “Things bave come to such @ pase,” says Irwin, ‘that it is no longer possible for a second division team to build without great patience premivorg It ts almost impossible to buy a geod player.
