STRONG LOCAL INTEREST IN CONNECT.
CUT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

While there will be little local golf this week
other than the usual heavy list of Saturday 1xt-
ures, the golfers viii have little TO occupy their
attention with the closing Of the entries for the
amateur championship Tomorrow evening with
Maturin Ballou secretary of the United States Golf
Associ alton; the pairing OF the competitors the
same night by the executive committee which will
be made public on Wednesday. and the Connecticut
State championship, which begins on Wednesday AT
Hartford and continues throughout the week The
interest the local golfers have in the two contests
is that in all previous amateur championships the
majority OF the entries received have been fur
nished by the clubs of the Metropolitan Golf Asso-
ciation and the last four championships have been
won by the leading players Of the Metropolitan
Golf Association. while. the other hand the
leading clubs Of the Connecticut State League are
also Metropolitan Golf Association clubs and Of the
three previous championships played the last two
were by Metropolitan Golf Association men
In fact Charles II. Seeley. the present champion
the runner-up to Douglas at Apawamls a
year ago after putting Travis in the semi
finals OF the Metropolitan Golf Association cham
pionship. So it will be that there is a strong
local interest in both contests Each year the
amateur struggle seems 10 spread out into
broader field or. rather. entries are received from
greater distances.
II is a we'll known fact this year that entries
will be made from San Francisco, Galveston, New
Orleans and Florida we'll as from all other parts
of the country. Last year there were I41 entries.
l39 starters and 113 full cards returned. and 1t is
believed this year the entry list will be much
larger with a preliminary round of only eighteen
holes and sixty-four men to qualify. The fact of
amateur champion Walter J. Travis having done
the Nassau Country Club links on Friday in - is
indication that he has fully recovered from the
defeat he sustained al the Morris County tourna-
Inent at the hands OF young Reinhart
The programme for the Connecticut State cham
pionship. for the last four days OF this week, at
Hartford, will be as follows;
Wednesday-Qu round at IS holes, first six
teen TO qualify Tor the chaInponshl and the second
sixteen for the consolation cup. The first round
at match play for the two cups will be played in
the afternoon.
Thursday-Second and third rounds for the cham

Friday-Final rounds at 36 holes for champion
