ENGLISH GOLFERS DELAYED.
Ship Goes Aground, Necessitating
Change in Schedule.

A slight change and cutting of the pro-
gram mapped out for the Oxford and Cam

United States Golf Association said last
evening in New York that the executive

ISOLATION had taken prompt action by hold
ing a meeting to adopt a new program for
the entertainment Of the Oxford Cambridge
Golfing Society team. The committee was
compelled to give up the entertainment at
the Brookline Country Club on Friday
afternoon and Saturday. 1t was found i'm
possible to arrange new dates, as they
would interfere with the schedule adopted
by the visitors before leaving England
Should the Mayfiower arrive on Sunday
afternoon or Monday morning the English
men will go immediately to the Myopia
Hunt Club. where they will be entertained
by the members of the Hamilton organiza-
ton. They will have a practice round on
Monday afternoon. On Tuesday they will
meet the intercollegiate golfers in the first
match ever played by an English student
body on this side of the water On We'd
nesday they will journey to Manchester
where they will be the guests of the Essex
County Club. A practice round or two
will be played on Wednesday, and on
Thursday the match with the Massachu-
sets Golf Association team will take place
on the Essex County course.
Friday evening the visitors will start for
Chicago, which they expect to reach on
Saturday evening. The match with the
Chicago golfers is scheduled for Monday
August II, two days later than originally
planned. The visit to Chicago will be cut
short one day, as the golfers are partfcu-
