PUZZLED GOLFERS.
Trying to Decide Upon System for
the Coming Season.

Circulars were mailed from New York
to some sixty golfers yesterday by the
executive committee of the United States
Golf Association asking an expression of
opinion as to the manner in which the
amateur championship should be played.
The committee suggests one Of four alter
natives, which are:
A qualifying round at SO holes, with
80 to qualify. and continue at SO holes
match play.
B.-A qualifying round at Is holes, with
81 to qualify. and continue at IS holes
match play, except the final. to be at SO
holes.
CA qualifying round at SO holes-1s on
Monday and Is on Tuesday-with 32 to
qualify, and the match play rounds to be
at Is holes except the semi-final and final
rounds. to be at SO holes.
D.-No qualifying round; match play
rounds at 1S holes. except the final, to be at
SO holes.
The first suggestion was in vogue until
last year, when the second was given a
trial. and its popularity may be gathered
from the fact that Mr.. Walter Travis at the
annual meeting OF the United States Golf
Association said Anything but that sys-
tam"
Advocates of the all match play system
base their ground chiefly on the fact that

with Sheriff Bell going up from to 5 to 2
to /. Embarrassment was the third choice.
Birch Broom went out and set a warm
pace and opened up a gap OF two lengths
at the half. Embarrassment, who had been
cut off in the first quarter, then moved up.
The pair raced head and head until the six
teenth pole was reached, when Birch Broom
drew away and won going away by a
length. Welcome Light found no difficulty
in securing the third place from Sheriff
Bell. The latter stepped into hole going
down the backstretch, which practically
ruined his chances. Jockey Fuller rode four
winners yesterday.
The track was heavy and the sport good.
Jockey Lindsey. who was thrown in the
sixth race on Saturday, was still uncon-
scious last night, and the physicians at the
charity hospital say that he has only a

headed, winning In a gallop by six lengths.
