November golfing will be more active this
year than formerly. The Country Club of
Atlantic City has arranged for Its annual
fall open tournament over the Mortified
links on November 49, II and 49, and. as
this South Jersey course is always in Its
best turf at this season of the year. a good
sized field will doubtless take part. Many
memorable contests between noted ANA
teurs have been waged on these links and

Travis may call upon him to help out

After nearly ten years. during which time
many shifts and changes have been made,
the course of the Newark Golf Club is

station on the ground formerly used for the
home green.
To avoid the railroad the line of play for
several holes was necessarily cramped. but
the members worried along. Now, the ever
increasing demands of the real estate specu

green, where ground has already been
broken for dwelling house. Other parts
of the links have likewise been sold and will
shortly be in demand, so. realizing the use

to disband in December. The members will
be scattered in all directions. some are
planning to affiliate themselves with the

Club The nine-hole courses at Roseville,

also get a few. George Pearson has been
