THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. PECEMDER 13. 1903. lb GROWTH OF GOLF IN AMERICA Fifteen Yr 8ino Tint Gaum Wis Laid Out in Haw Tar's. MANY HUNDRED CLUBS ACTIVE KOW Debate as tm taadara Malta De velops Farl tkat Sack a Talaa la Xat Oa If liarlele at laaealrrble. The fame of golf In the United Stitei U Just fifteen year old, the fir ft links in thl country having been established at Yonkers-on-the-Hudson, New York, on No vember 18, 18, at which time the Yonkr Golf club waa formed, the charter members being: John Reld, J. R. Cpham, Harry Hoi brook and H. 6. Tallmadge. The links constated of but six holes at first, and the game waa flrat introduced through Robert Lockhart, a member of the St. Andrew's Golf club of Scotland. The second couire In the United States Is what Is still known as Bhlnnecock Hllla, which waa organized August 22, 1891. In striking contrast to those daya. It may now be stated that every state in tl.1 anion boasta of a multitude of golf courses, a good many more In the eastern states than in the west, but with tha strides the game Is making in the west. It is as sured beyond a doubt that every town and village of any pretentlona whatever, will eventually have lta golf course. Today In the state of New York there are 177 trolf courses, 168 in Massachusetts,' 114 In Pennsylvania. Golf courses in the west are not so numerous, because the game li younger. The game has become firmly estahlirhed everywhere that It has been once put to the test As a health promoter It la today and has been for some time recommended by physicians in every city in the United States. A prominent business man In Omaha when on the verge of consumption three years no waa advised by his thvsl- cisn to take up golf, and although at that ! time he waa scarcely able to wield a club, today he can play a larger number of j holea than many of his -companions and : maT nrytT re urn to the track; In his re does not feel as tired as his competitors. tlrem.nt tne turf ontm one of Its most Much of the popularity of the game during consent performers, and few horses In uia paai iwo years nas oeen anainea oy reason oi me raci mil ii nas attracted to It and has retained, a vast number of women, and this Insures Its purification and stability, although on many of the eouraes there la an ironclad rule which will not permit of the women en Saturday because of tha congests of tha links. Tha other day a discussion arose a to wuvubt mere la or wua lucn a ining as a standard golf course, reference being had solely to tha question of length. In this connection It may be stated that there la no aucb thing as a standard golf course. A golf course of (.000 yards, or thereabouts, is supposed to be what may be designated as an Ideal and a satisfactory course. A course which Is in excess of 6,500 yards Is not inviting for the reaeon that a premium Is placed upon a long game, and if the lover of thla sport cannot drive a long ball he Is at a disadvantage and stands but little show against one whose long game Is much his superior. Any golf course rang ing from S.SOO to t, 000 yarda meets every re quirement snd condition for tha playing of golf under advantageous circumstances, providing the holes are apportioned prop erly as regards the matter of distance. The royal and ancient links at Bt. Andrews, a boot, which so much has bean Mid during toe' la at half -century, and whlcH Is referred to todsy as the "whole thing," does not ,seem to be what It Is cracked up to be to one who has never seea It- The length of the course Is (.223 yarda, and there are ten out of eighteen holea which will not vary ten points either way, on an average, from EBO yarda. This would seem to be too much of a sameness and would preclude the pos sibility of playing the game without a con tinual repetition of certain ahots and cer tain distances. It Is argued In this connec tion, however, thst the course is sclentlne elly trapped and bunkered, and that these features prevent the possibility of repeti tions. . The "royal and ancient" authorities at St. Andrews have announced some decisions on mooted points of golf which will be of Interest to the golfing public. Of these the first ease la thst of two players who sought temporary shelter from a rainstorm during a contest They were disqualified. In an- I other case. Just previous to a stroke com- I petition, one or the players In a tourna- j to be one of the greatest horses ever seen ment practiced putting on one of the greens en the turf, and in ruggedneas and game and the player with whom he was to com- J neas. he is fully the equal of his sire, pete claimed he did not have to play with joe Patchen, (::01) and Cresceus, (19, the party who had done the practicing, for two horsea which have stood up under the reason that the latter had therebv dls- more hard campaigning than any horses qualified himself. The latter contended , which hsve B?ured In the history of the that he was not subject to dlsouallflcatlon 1 American turf. In this Instance, because the rules provide I for the making of new hoW by the sre-n , . . ... . keeper Immediately preceding y rtroVe I .lRe?arCn ln? th "1 dP f competition In tourneys. The view of the latter waa sustained snd the other man was compelled to play the matron with him. The third esse wsa where ne of two players had failed to Irelu-te In hl card ttr a stroke competition en Ttr stro he had taken on one- of tre holes where he had lost a ball until fifteen mlni'te after the rants had been ha4e1 in. end tben he tnougnt or It snd went t the Mim- rm. mtttee and annrlsed It ef the feet. He also i disqualified. It may be of some Interest to those golf era who use the rubb-r-eored balls to know that a small hole made In the opposite ends of the pole of the ball will prevent Its Cracking. The pact reason msny of the players have gone out with a b-nnd new hall and after bitting It ine or two rood cracks have been dismayed to note that It waa cracked. Thl mey not be due to . any de'ect on the part of the hall, but Is ' cause by the elongation of the ban at the' moment of Impact with the club, there'iy stretching "and cracking the cover. The r. The two little holea give the cover sum -lent p'ay" to do sway with this difficulty and they do not In any way hamper or alter the Sight of the ball. In a recent driving contest at Boston Mlsa Rhone Adair, the champion lady golfer of Great Britain, drove a ball on a level spot and with no win! te aid her. a distance of 171 yards 2 faet by actuil measurement. This Is further than the av erage drive made by the masculine player by thirty yarda. as It has been demon, strated that on an average the length of Thr'; That's for Alwty Iks Sam the drive of any other than a crses or lead ing go fer la not In eicera of 10 yards. The method of counting one point for the fl Tt nine hole, one point for the second nine and another point to the winner of the match seems to find greet favor In the east and at Chicago, where it has been put to trial, and the Indications are that in the contee:s which are to be waged In the west nrxt summer this method will be adopted. The indentation made by a stray horse or cow on a golf course cannot be con strued to mean a "golf hole" or a "flag hole," and when the ball has lodged In one of these uns ghtly places It must te played from tvher It lies. Another ruling which has recently been announced la that when In wet weather and the turf "through the green" or anywhere ese is so soft as to permit a ba.l to sink Into It tba ball must be layid from where It Ilea, Misa Fthona Adair has summarised her experlerces end impressions of golf in the Un.ted States and the one thing above all others which came under her notice was the pluck and grim "stick-to-lt-lve-ness" of the Ame lean norm golfer. In tnli re spect Miss Adair aas the women of this country excel their cautlns serosa the At lantic. In the final tourney of the year at the O.k'ey Golf club at Watertdwn. Mass., Donald J. Ross made the wonderful score of 69. He made a 25 out and a 24 in and the eastern cilt cs are marveling at it and saying that the record will stand for yeirs. In doing this remarkable stunt Ross made seven threes. H. Chandler Egan has been chosn cap tain of the Harvard golfing team. TALK FROM TRACK AND STABLE Aaraare Ceard Closes a.

Trls la a remarkable record for a horse whose races were never made to order and which sported silk with out regard to weight, d. stance, company or track conditions. - Scott McCoy, who has been with lou Dillon in all her races as a pacer for that fart animal, says that at the big fall meet In Memphis last fall, which marked the final event in the Grand Circuit races, (50,000 was paid for the betting privileges by a Memphis citlsen. He In turn employed a small army of bookkeepera and they could not book the bets as fast as applications were made. Men, women and children, of all denominations, creeds and colors bet on tha races In that city. The women are as well versed on horses as any others and evince a deep Interest la all that per tains to horses. Memphis Is net so good a town for trotting and pacing events as for running, ss the people of that community have been addicted, to running races for years, " ' . . The eastern sporting critics are just find ing out that Dan Patch has been somewhat overlooked In the matter of praise for noteworthy performances on the turf the past season. In view of the fact that much has been said of Lou Dillon and Cresceus and but little has been said of Dan Patch. As a matter of fact Dan Patch has a better record for the past season than any horse that ever occupied the lime lights on the American turf. He now has the following world s records fo his credit:. Fastest mile by a pacer 1:56H Fastest mil, half-mile track 2:fl Fastest hnlf mile M Fastest mile to warcn 1:574 Fastest tri e, hleh wheel sulky 2:0 Two fastest miles 4:17 Dan Patch participated in one of the real sensational events of the year at Macon, Ga , recently, when he broke two world's recordsthe hlgh-wtieeled sulky event, and five 'minutes later the bike ulky the records for which are noted aDove. Dan Patch haa proved himself the harneas horse records reveal many startling changes In the make-up of the trotting champiota of the past and the paraphernalia that aocompanied them In their world's record - breaking perform ancea. Yankee, the first horse t negoti ate a mile In less than 1 minutes, drew a cart that weighed more than twice as much as the pneumatic affair pulled by Lou Dillon when she circled the Memphis course In 1:584. or exactly 1:04 faater than Tankee's mark pf 2 . which waa made ninety-seven- years ago. Commenting on the performance of Yankee, a sporting paper at the time aaid: "The frail gig he drew weighed scarcely 100 pounds snd no one but Yankee's driver cared to trust himself on It." Lou Dillon's sulky weighed twenty-four pounds and one ounce. The present trotting queen wears four shoes thst will weigh scarcely one pound. She requires no artificial weight or appliance to balance her. Ail of her shoes together weigh not much more than one of the front worn by Maud 8. She Is flf- j teen n(I one-tenth hanos high and weighed ; cuy sib pounds when she created her world's record over the Memphis track. It is not generally known that Lou Dillon is a relation la blood to Nancy Hanks, first of the pneumatic tire trotting kings or queens and one of the champions de veloped and driven by Budd Doble. Sired by Sidney Dillon, a young stallion at the Santa Roaa stock farm, Santa Rosa Cel.. I-ou Dillon's dam was Lou Milton, by Milton Medium, a son of Happy Medium, which sired Nancy Hanka. Saunders be llevee that Lou Dillon can trot as fast ss Dan Patch ran pace and In' 104 he pre dicts a mile In beter time than ahe has shewn this year. (or Be:r Quality. Good Old JJlaU. WHAT THE BOWLERS ARE DOING Ossaaa Not Likely 1e Bo Kresr-aeatee avt the Jatlaaal Taaraameat at Cleielaae. The announcement which has recently been made that bowling clubs do not have to belong to any organlsatlona in order to compete at the big tourney In Cleveland in February, under the auspices of the Amer ican Bowling congress, is a matter of gen eral Interest, but It will have little bearing one way or another on the Omaha bowlera. Tresent Indications are that none of the local bowlers will attend the meeting at Cleveland. It Is argued that It is too far away to be attended with any satisfaction or profit National Bowling Champion D. A. Jones of Milwaukee has refused to play W. V. Thompson, the Chicago expert. The latter went to Milwaukee by agreement with Jones to roll seven games, total pins to count. Jones then claimed that he was out of condition and refused to play, saying his frienda had advised him to save his energy for the national championship at Cleveland. The Indications are that the next national bowling event will go to Milwaukee. A canvass has been made of the executive committee and a majority have expressed themselves favorable to Milwaukee. If the national event should go to Milwaukee it would be a great help to the bowlers. They can take light balls to that city and get the loads after they arrive.

It dissolves and eliminates deposits in the joints, where they hare been accumulating for years. Records are in our possession, not of one but of many cases where the joints of the fingers were so thickened as to be practically rigid and useless; where the hip or knee joints were so filled with the deposit as to render the patient wholly unable to walk, and who hare been restored to health and activity by the systematic use of Uricsol. An occasional case is found which refuses to yield to treatment, but these are rare, and we can truth fully claim the remarkable record of 00 per cent, of cures, where a proper opportunity is given the remedy to accomplish the result.

BASKET BALL MOVING SLOWLY IoesJ Teasas Gettlag; lata Coeltlea, with Prosalse of IaterestlasT The last week has witnessed, little that is new In athletics at the Young Men a Christian association, although there Is r.o letup In the preparations for a fuU pro gram of full winter sports. These will mccssarlly consist for the main part of basket sail, and the regular gymnasium work. The number of persons taking regular work is larger than ever before and continued interest is manifested in the work of the Institution. The efforts at present are bent toward basket ball, which has been a great favorite with Omaha aincs the first game was first Introduced. Just now Interest centers about the ath letic events which are scheduled for Mon day and Tuesday nights of this weelc. These contests will consist of Indoor events and are held at this time In order to deter mine the best men to compose the team which will compete against the Sioux City athletes on January 15, when the Young ...., . i.. ... e this Vlll 0OVwmuvM " - " city and Sioux City will engage In a team contest To the contest which is announced for Monday and Tuesday nights of this week, the general public. Including women, la in- I vited. The events for the contest with 1 Blouz City will consist of the running high Jump, three standing broad jump, shot put relay race and pole vault Five men are to compose the team on each side. For the contest on Monday and Tuesday evenings there are about twenty-five en trlaa. Another thing at the Young Men's Chris tian association about which much Interest centers at this time of the year la the "open house" which will be a feature of the New Year's day, and which is to wind up with a general gymnastic exhibition by the night claas, from 7 to 10 o'clock. The contests will consist of gymnastic games, obstacle, crab and sack races.
