HOPE FOR INTERNATIONAL GOLF

Golfers in this country have for a long
time had a desire TO meet a foreign
team Of amateurs from Great Britain on
American soil. From recent develop
ments it is not improbable that the
matter VIII again be taken up by some
Of the leading clubs Of New York The
plan is TO send a challenge TO several Of
the leading golfers abroad.
This matter was broached at the last
annual meeting Of the United States Golf
Association. when IL was suggested that
a sum Of money be put aside TO defray
the expenses OF the visitors. Quite a
little interest was manifested IN the
scheme. but the matter failed TO get the
associations official support and sane
tion because OF the old sentimental OBJ
lection to paying money for amateur ex-
hibitions
Some OF the larger clubs are now be-
ing sounded to see II they would be will

II is said that President Pullman and

Tuesday night Tor the purpose Of putting
a team here and that Jimmy Manning
was a factor IN the deal. This was sup

that Washington and Baltimore were TO
be the new cities. This is most emphati-
cally denied by the moguls OF both
leagues. Harry Pullman started arnand
the National circuit directly after his
election. His object was to visit the
presidents OF all the clubs and talk over
matters with them. He stopped in Balti-
