Several Cities Bidding for
Annual Championships.
AFTER THE WOMEN'S TOURNEY
MyOpia Hunt and Allegheny Country
Club Enter Field with Chevy Chase
CIub-WesteFners Are Anxious tO
Have later Date Than Has Been
Customary in Recent Years.

New York, Jan. 16.-W. Fellowes Nor
gan, secretary of the United States Golf
Association, has announced that the My
opla Hunt Club, of Hamilton, Mass. has
signified It's willingness to offer its
course for tie national open champion
ship tournament, provided it is held the
latter part of August. 1t is also stated
that an application for the women's
championship has been received from the
Allegheny Country Club. near Pittshurg.
This makes the third application for the
womens tournament, as the Philadelphia
Country Club and the Chevy Chase Club,
of Washington, are already In the field.
Mr. Morgan has also officially an
nounced that the Brae Burn Country
Club has withdrawn its application for
the amateur championship. This leaves
the Garden City L. - Golf Club, the
Deal (N j. Golf and Country Club, and
the Onwentsia Club. near Chicago. the
remaining applicants.
As Onwentsia. according to report, has
no idea of getting the tournament before
next year, the contest, IL would appear
has narrowed down to the two metro
polltan district organizations.
One Of the questions which is certain 90
provoke discussion among the delegates
has to do with the time for holding the
amateur championship. The Westerners
are a unit Ia favor of a later date than
has been customary i'm recent years. They
are particularly opposed to the tourna-
ment being held in July. Manysof the
amateurs In the Chicago district do not
begin 10 play in earnest until well into
June. and they all claim that July Is en-
tirely too early. They favor either August
or September.
glance back over the records shows
that the championship has been held sew
eral times in September. one objection
TO a September date is the fact that at
that season OF tie year some of the
courses are in Ear from their best c0ndi-
ton. because Of the coarse grass July.

FRANCE OUT OF OLYMPICs.
Amateur Organizations Likely to
Follow Lead of National Society.


Boston. Jan. Authorization has been
received here that the important French
amateur sporting society known as the
Union Velocipedique de France has pro-
hibited any Of its members from taking
part in the Olympic games, which are
scheduled 70 take place next summer in
London.
The reason for the friction with those
at the head OF the English organization
In charge OF the details OF the sport is
assigned to dissension between them and
the French committee in regard to the
rules governing the contests. Baron Pierre
de Coubertin the president of the inter-
national Olympic committee. the purpose
of which is TO foster these worldwide
competitions, has been in communication
with Lord DesDrOugh in regard to the set
Ting Of the dissatisfaction, but the Eng
lsh leader has not yet come to terms
with the Frenchmen.
The secretaries Of the various rife clubs,
athletic, fishing, and rowing societies
state that they may find themselves
obliged TO follow the example OF the
Union Nelocipedique, II is claimed that
the conditions arbitrarily laid down by
the British organizing committee are
such that the leaders Of the French anna
teur societies cannot accept them con-
sistently with their dignity.
