cation Of the Metropolitan Golf Association

for a scratch man playing par golf 10 have
won, fact that stands like monument
against taking the ratings without start

those players whose names were sent In to
the committee and who are not rated at II
or better are handicapped at u. Any player
whose name was not sent in wishing handi-

handicap TO him intelligently. Mr. Calkins
adds:
