There is every Indication that the medal play
competition for amateurs on the public links
at Van Cortlandt Park, for the set of prizes pre-
sented by members Of the st. Andrews Golf
Club. will be n success. An application for the
use of the links on the afternoon OF Nov. % has
been made to the Park Commissioners through
S. Van Rensselaer, CruRer. President Of the
Board, and there In little doubt that II will
be granted. Mr.. CruRer stated that 1t has been
the policy OF the Commissioners this season not
to reserve tho links at any time for the use Of
any particular club or set Of players. but as the
proposed competition was q special occasion and
essentially a public function, he thought that
the Commissioners might change their rule in
this instance. He will bring mp the matter at
the next meeting of the Park Board.
In answer TO n number of inquiries regarding
the competition, It may be stated that there will
be either three or four prizes, in accordance
with the number of entries 1t will be an eigh-
teen-holem medal play match, without handicaps,
and open to all amateurs who arc not as yet
members of any club In the United States Golf
Association. Entries close at The sun office at
o o'clock on tho evening before the competition.
No entrance fee is charged. The competition
will probably begin at / o'clock. but IL the en-
tries exceed twenty It may be found advisable
to make an earlier start. Members of the Inter-
scholastic Athletic Association. as we'll as adults,
arc eligible.
