GOLF HANDICAP LIST
". q. Il. RATING ISSUED.
TraUers and TRAVIS Remain ON
Scratch-More than 500 Names.

There are 54s names on the 1909 Metropolitan
Golf Association handicap list As the case
last year, Jerome D. Travers the national CHAM
pion, and Walter J. Travis have the positions OF
honor at scratch, while only F1ndlay s. Douglas
and Fred Herreshof appear on the two-stroke
mark.
No less than eight have been rated at three
including Charles H. seely, the Metropolitan title
holder. who defeated both Travers and Travis IN
that tournament last spring at Baltusrol; Archie
Graham. Gilman P. Tiffany and Robert Abbott
None OF the last three mentioned played much last
season. this being particularly so OF Graham who
dropped out entirely from the competitive game
BY way of comparison. It is likewise interesting
to that Arthur G. Lockwood and Hugo r
Johnstone scratch men in the Massachusetts State
Golf Association, have been rated at four and Ave.
respectively, in the Metropolitan list
The handicap committee, consisting OF j. E
Erickson, chairman F. J. Phillips and ]. R.
Turner, recommends that clubs giving open or IN
vtation tournaments print on their circulars an
nouncng tournaments conditions to govern the
handicap. In cases where a players name is not
on the printed list and he wishes to enter the
handicap, all that will be necessary for him to do
will be to letter from his club secretary
or club Handicapped stating how many strokes he
receives from player Of his home club who
is rated. 1t is also desired that club handicappers
send in voluntary reports from time to time
throughout the when one or more players
show any Improvement
from scratch up to and including nine strokes
