Latest Plans for the Leasue-staten Island
Cricket Club Schedule.
Golfers are about decided upon one certain re.
suit from the meeting tomorrow night. It is
that the dates for open tournaments will not be
permitted to clash this season. The plan now is
for the delegates to formally organize into q met
ropolitan district league and then to take up tho
question Of open tournament dates. The out
come will be, probably, that each club will ar
range to file its applications for open tourna-
ment dates with the committee, who will sub
NIT the list to the Executive Committee Of tho
U. 6. g. A. for ratification.
About twenty clubs Of tho thirty.two invited
have already notified the st. Andrews Greens
Committee that they will send delegates to tho
meeting. Tho latest development 10 q strong
opposition to a general team circuit on the part
OF some Of the older clubs. The opposition is
based on the fear. in the first place. that the es-
tablishment of q team championship may lead
to the Introduction of the semi.professional in
golf and a revival OF the elements that marred
tho amateur baseball circuits a few years ago;
and, secondly, because there are too many
clubs in the proposed league to make
the formation Of n circuit practicable.
The will Of the majority must prevail in such an
organization. but It seems safe to anticipate that
the team championship idea will be dropped. 1t
is not possible, however, that any barrier will
be placed against any few OF the clubs joining in
q series OF mutual home-and.home team matches
that they may desire to arrange on their own re-
sponsibility. Team matches, however, will
probably DO left as a matter to DO arranged by
each club at its pleasure.
