But Gerald King, a manager, said today that the club did not discriminate against anyone.

Last month the judge, Robert S. Miller, reaffirmed earlier findings that the clubs were illegally discriminating against women.

Mr. Chao denies his club discriminates by appearance.

The club was therefore discriminating against these lesser classes.

But our private club does not discriminate.

Although it has been, in its early development, an elite amateur sport, whose clubs discriminated against Blacks, it soon became a popular sport, with a huge following.

No club, public or private, may discriminate against a majority of the population without sending the message that women are not entitled to participate fully in American life.
