IMPORTANT GOLF DATES.

Amateurs Play in Chicago in August.
In accord with its new policy of progress
sve and quick action the United States Golf
Association committee has made an early
selection of the championship days.
The choice of links and the time, In a
general way, for the three events was made
at the annual meeting. but to select the
exact dates most suitable to all concerned
has entaied more than one conference be-
tween the committeeman and the club rep
resentative. The championship dates as
fixed are:
Amateur. Chicago Golf Club, Wheaton,
Ill, Tuesday, August s, to Saturday, Au-
gust u.
Open. Myopia Hunt Club. Hamilton.
Mass, on Thursday and Friday. September
u and %. t..
Womens. Morris County Golf Club. Nor
ristown. n. j., Tuesday, October 3, to Sat
urday. October I.
Gee! Well have to carry the golf balls
on ice at Wheaton in August" said one
amateur, when he saw the listings. But
I'll be there. and expect to have a great
time"
This Is the way the average fastener
looks at it, and the fears of hot weather
will not keep any of the good players, away.
The resumption of thirty-siX hole quail
flying round, with the division into eight
een-hole heats. will help along the success
of the tournament. The time suits the col
lege boys too; in fact, but for them an ear
lier date would have been selected SO as to
get the benefit of the fresh grass, which is
apt to be worn and marred somewhat in
August. The dates for the womenS and
the open seem satisfactory.

that saved him from worse beating.
