“GY GOLF F CHANPIONSHP NEW ASSOCIATION'S PLAN Municipal Body Organizes by Electing Dr. T. J, McCoy Presi- dent—Aims to Promote Sport and Have Strong Local Teams Entered in Intercity Tourna ments, By William Abbott. i) ‘was taken at the first meeting of the ‘at No. 469 Fifth Avenue when officers cided upon. About fifty members of the new or-¢ ganization were on hand. They repre- @ented the five clubs that patronize the public links, Scottish-Amertcan, New York Golf, Manhattan, News- Paper and Gun Hill. The following ofMMcers were elected: Dr. T. J. Mc- Coy, President; John Haddon, Treas- urer-Secretary; C. M. H, Athorton, first Vice President; W. C. Miller, second Vice President. ‘The new Municipal Association ex- \ ects to enroll thousands of members and then be in a position to make the city authorities be reasonable and give the public links players a square deal. New York has only three municipal Inks against nine for Chicago and six for Philadelphia. The focal courses are always in poor shape and are easily surpassed by many second- rate cities throughout the West. Despite unsatisfactory facilities nearly 50,000 golfers played over the New York public links this season, ‘and the golf revenuo will go highor than $100,000. WILL ASK REVENUE FROM LINKS FOR IMPROVEMENTS. ‘The Municipal Association will quickly take measures to persuade the city officials to turn back for golf improvements all the revenue from the public links. While a big amount was realized from the sale of golf permits this season, the city only ex- pended $15,000 on the municipal courses. All income from public park concessions goes into a general winking fund. So much js appropri- ated each year for park purposes, and of this amount a small part {s set aside for the upkeep of the public links, The majority of public link players do not object to increased dues, Wut up to this time they have been paying more and getting less. Dr. McCoy, at last night's meeting, told how Park Commisstoner Hen- nessy of the Bronx went to the Board of Estimate, which controls appropriations, and related the in- creasing revenue from golf and plead SPINELLAS TO PLAY BRONX BOWLERS Barney and Phil Spinella of Brook- lyn wili clash with two star Bronx bowlers, Marino and Falcaro, to-night at the Orpheum Alleys, Brooklyn, the home drives of the Spinella brothers, for the second half of a home and home series.

Y., Dec. 20.—While there are several very important detalls of Army's football schedule for next season yet to be arranged, notably the Gate and site for the Army-Navy con- ‘est, ax well as the site for the Army- Notre Dame game, it was announced yesterday thet Army will have nine contests on its program next fall, and opponents that cight of the cadets’ definitely have been picked.

A long step toward this goa! Municipal Golf Association last night were elected and a line of action de ed for more money to spend on the Inks. “That's good business,’ answered Mayor Hylan. “We'll take that dit- ference and plug up some holes. The Municipal Association expects to convince the city authorities that the thousands who frequent the pub- Ne links are entitled to more con sideration, and that New York should not only improve its three courses, but should build additional ones to take care of the growing army ot players. Willlam Tucker, noted ourse archi- tect, volunteered his services to the Municipal Association He sald the average cost of private links war around $16,000 each year and that the public course at Van Cortlandt Park could be maintained jn fine shape for about $12,000 each season. Mr. Tuoker explainod that the city could increase its public courses by constructing additional ones {n the Pelham section at an initial outlay of $85,000 gor each link. YEARLY AMATEUR MUNICIPAL CHAMPIONSHIP PLANNED, President McCoy told the dele. gates that the new organization would not only strive to get better treatmant from the city but would concentrate on the holding of an amateur munict pal championship every year and would foster the development of a strong team to represent New Vork ‘n the intercity tournaments that are becoming popular with public link xolfers throughout the United States The Municipal Association was formed early this year as a protest over the ralsing of the annual per- mits at Van Courtlandt Park from $9 to $10. Four hundred members were recruited, but no marked headway was made until last night's meeting, when officers were elected and a defi- nite program mapped out. Initiation fee to the Municipal As- sociation is only $1.

By Burris Jenkins, Jr. LAPPERS and furs and flying mufflers, all kinds of ‘‘woolens,’ red checks, appetites, and the ring of ice skates once more charac- terize the Christmas atmosphere of Greater New York. The skating sea- son has officially opened on outdoor rinks. Public tennis courts all over Man- hattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx have been flooded and are now fast freezing. The biggest one in Manhat- tan—at 119th Street—already has four Inches of ice and yesterday held up nearly 2,000 citizen athletes gliding, slipping, stumbling, or racing along on customary varied assortment of skates from new style racing "tubu- lars’ to old rusty double-runners. City College opened its stadium rink yesterday, and about 500 skaters dis- covered the fact last night. The Stadium and grounds together were such an expense to the college—the former costing $300,000 and the land bringing the tigure to nearly a mil- Non—that every year the football fleld is flooded and the rink opened to the public for a small charge. More skaters are expected to-night. Other rinks opened to-day, or did yesterday, and the total number of Hans Brinkers who will perform “spread eagles," ‘figure eights," and “outside edges," on Gotham outdoor rinks to-day will reach close to 7,000 if the cold weather continues, This does not include the two large indoor rinks In New York and one in Brooklyn which have been running or Skating Rinks during the fall, It is the season of outdoor skating, and Harry G. Kelton, owner of several of these rinks for many years, stated he expected more skating enthusiasts this year than ever before. “Everybody is turning to some sort of exercise nowadays and many— particularly girls—are adopting skat- ing,"’ he said, ‘This may be merely for complexions. But chiefly I think it is because of the number of com- petitions which now Include women For the big meet New Year's Day at Newburgh scores of applications, most of them from school girls or young business women, have already been sent in."* At some of the rinks girls are be- ginning to get in training by racin, or instruction from professionals for the various meets which come later Many of the ambitious ones admit they aspire to reach Olympic classes ither in 1924 or the next games.

PATON, Presi M dent of the Morningside Wom en's Athletic Club and former track and fleld star, has the distinc- tion of being the first woman handi- capper to be chosen for women’s track ind fleld events by the Amateur Ath letle Union. The selection of Mrs Paton Is in part an answer to the severe criticism which had been directed at A. A. U. officials since they took over control of women's athlet- ics, The plans of the Union officials sponsored by President Prout, are to let women, as much as possible, con trol women athletics. Working along that line, the Board of Governors, at its quarterly meeting, held at the Park Avenue Hotel last night, besides se- lecting Mra, Paton as handicapper chose another woman, Mrs. Edna Co! Cizek, long prominent in local ath letics, as a representative of women athletes to sit in at all meetings of the Registration Committee. Mrs. Cizek will also represent the Metropolitan Association at al! future meetings of the national body, with power to discuss all affairs pertaining to feminine sports, President Prout plans to have women take over all women’s activities and to create an organization which will almost be in dependent of the parent body, U an organization ts built up, how- ever, Mr. Prout will see to it that the fair sex get all the co-operation nec- ssary to help build up women's ath- letics. It was decided that no girl under sixteen years of uge will be cligibl to compete, and all will have to regis ter with the Amateur Athletic Union after Jan, 2. Another decision was hat no girl will be allowed to compet: In more than two events and that no race will be longer than 110 ya ne recommendation by the wom en's committee to have the board In elnde the running high and runnin broad Jumps tn the girls’ competitic was yoted down, The program wuopted by the bourd will include sprint racing, elght-pound shotput throwing the basketball and relay races, The Board of Governors also ap pointed the following women, who w act as observers or advisers to the Registration Committee: Mrs. Edna Cole Cizek, Mrs. Adeline Crapp Muht enberg, Mrs. Jessie L.
