for so long. They declare the holding
of the tournament in New York or
New Jersey or in the New England
states has practically prohibited far
western golfers from getting any
chance to compete. II is advocated
that in four years of tournaments two
OF them should be held in the middle

This. they believe, will make It pos

country to compete in the Journeys.
There is a general feeling of dissat.

of all forms OF athletics and this has
at length spread to golf.
The effect of this is seen In all
sports. In track athletics the east
conceded the national championships
TO New Orleans this year and the
event is sure to go next season either
to Chicago or San Francisco. In 9th.
