Yales old time tennis player. Thomas

The week of June has been selected
the time for the first annual cham
pionship tournament OF the Womens
Eastern Golf association, which is TO
be held In conjunction with the tri-
city team matches for the Griscom tro-
ply between the women's associations OF
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
Where the tourney Will be played Is
still a matter OF conjecture. AS the
time draws near the problem becomes
more puzzling. The fact is. the associa-
tion has so many offers that the officials
at present are undecided which way to
turn
Two more clubs have entered the field.
The Nassau Country club, Country club
of Lakewood and the Baltusrol Golf club
have signihed a willingness TO have the
Eastern championship and tri-city
matches decided over their links. 1t had
been supposed before that the choice lay
between the New Haven Country Club,
Deal Golf club and Atlantic City Coun-
try club. The officials OF the latter have
extended a cordial invitation TO the wo-
men, but the objection TO the seaside
course is that IL is too far away for the
Boston players. The women would like
to play at Lakewood, but not in June,
where the season at the resort in the
pines f. practically at an end.
