out new permits, according to an order by
Park COMMISSIONS WalRrave of The Bronx.
Investigation has revealed that only a minor
proportion of them have permits, while the
quota to possess the credentials are mostly
using last year tickets. The one remedy
against disorder on the links is to take away
the permits OF persistent offenders against the
etiquette OF the game, and, to systematize the
play and deal intelligently with the needs Of
the golfers. the Park Commissioners ruling
VIII be generally Endorsed The permits
may be had by personal application at Clare
mont Park, or II an addressed and stamped
envelope ID enclosed, permits may be had by
mail from the Park Commissioner e ofice in
the Bronx. When requested, the permit will
be made good for both Van Cortlandt and
Pelham Bay Parks. There Is complaint
among the players over the bad condition OF
the green's at Van Cortlandt and they are
afraid that unless the work is taken In hand
the links will soon be utterly ruined. An
early application for the permits may help
to arouse the interest Of ths officials in the
needs of the golfers.
A happy solution Of the conflict between
the championship OF the Western Golf Asso-
citation and the national championship has
been arrived at by a postponement Of the

A. 4. Gates. secretary of the Western
Golf Association, in announcing the change
to September adds; The Western Golf As
ISOLATION has uniformly sought to uphold the
dignity Of the national title by holding it's
events prior TO the national. In order to OBJ
viate the possibility of the national title
holders being defeated in the Western. and
thus, in a measure, detracting from national
honors. In seeking TO follow the precedent
heretofore established the Western Golf
Association was limited IN Its choice of dates
owing TO the early selections made by the
United States Golf Association. Serious
objection was made by Western golfers TO
any dates prior to the LIST of July. owing 70
the fact that but little practice is had in the
Western district during the early season and
the absence in college OF many Of the younger
contingent. II is confidently believed that
the dates now selected will meet with the
approval OF a large majority of Western
golfers"
