Deal Beach Results.
II Is In the cluster OF clubs about Chicago In
which the chief strength lies OF the Western
Golf Association. although the first annual
championship. to be held on Sept. @. 7. g and
q. at the Glenview Golf and Polo Club. is open
to the members OF all clubs within 500 miles
OF that city. Milwaukee. Detroit. Cleveland.
Cincinnati and st. Louis will each send one or
moro representatives. but the majority OF the
entries and the best players will hail from
Chicago. The Glenview course. on which the
event is to be held. is undoubtedly the best
laid out in the West.
The distance is about $500 yards and the
