Club Today-M emphs Prob
able Meeting Place.

President II. F. Smith of Nashville,
Treasurer L. H. Smith of Admission and
Secretary Robert H. Baugh of Birmdng
ham, all of the Southern Golf association,
enjoyed a tournament at the Country club
yesterday afternoon, while o. M. Reynolds
and John B. Knox of Admission, assisted
by a number of local golfers, had sport
among themselves.
The gentlemen were getting in trim for
the two little tournaments which will oc-
cur in Birmingham today, a tournament
of the associations directors, the prize
being a cup offered by President Smith
known as the Directors Cup" and
tournament for the visitors who are not
directors for a loving cup offered by the
local association.
The presence in the city yesterday of
several of the best known southern golf
ers caused many fond of the sport TO
visit the links at the Country club. Then,
too, there was considerable of a news
nature which gave additional interest.
One item was the reception of telegram
by President Smith from Andrew Manson
of Darien, Ga, vice president of the as

very i'll. and could not attend. Another
item was the receipt of formal applica-
ton from Pensacola for membership,
which application was accompanied by
the check covering the entrance fee.
Last night the golf colony was in
creased by the arrival of a party of eight
from Atlanta. Montgomery squad also
arrived last night with the Pensacola del
egates and this morning parties from
Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans will
be on hand. With the exception of Mr..
Manson, the directorate will be complete,
and in addition it is thought that 20 or
more other visitors Will participate in the
visitors tournament.
The directors will select a place for
holding the annual championship tourna-
ment There are two candidates for this
honor, Memphis and Pensacola. While
the chance of success seems to favor
Memphis. Pensacola has numerous friends
who think that the last to enter the
fold should be welcomed with an oppor-
tunity to entertain the entire association.
Atlanta puts in it's claim for the tourna-
ment in 1910. and Birmingham for 1911
Birmingham, incidentally, is planning
TO extend its course to such length
that it can accommodate all the southern
golfers, and when this is done there is
no doubt but that the directors will give
the honor to the Magic City. Birmingham
has as many golfers as any other south
ern city, and Birmin gham's delegates to
the several meets have been more numer-
ofo ofFx
The golfers will lunch today at noon
at the club and will have dinner there to-
night
Last night the announcement was made
that in addition to the tournaments men
toned above there would be a third for
the members of the Birmingham Golf
club, a trophy having been provided for
the winner of same.
The matches will begin promptly at 2
