the United States Golf Association will not call the
special meeting TO act on the proposed changes IN
the constitution until May. There Is Immediate
necessity for action. and the delay will enable
fuller consideration by the allied clubs OF the ques-

the national championships. and. according to the
schedule prepared, the amateur tournament will be
held at Glenview July Is to 10 inclusive. the

and IL Though the Brookline organization had
pressed an unw1lIngness TO ask for the women's
championship, the executive committee felt that IN
view OF the showing made by Boston players last
season the championship should be held in their
territory and as BroOkine is BCSton's most repre-
sentative club the committee prevailed upon it's
management to reconsider the first decision and
accept the award. Seven of the sixteen who quail
