home club. but the starters will include
Oardner W White aud probably John ".
Ward. who won the MOntclair tournament
last year. aud Max n. Behr who Won his
first New Jersey championship on that links.
An innovation which should help the entry
10 the attempt TO limit each sixteen TO
players Of the same average game.
Each club In the Metropolitan or New
Jersey State golf associations has been In
vited TO enter four players. There will b.
gold medal for low score In the eighteen
hole qualifying round. four sets of sixteen
to keep on a. match play for cups aud run
nerlp prizes There will be beaten eight
cup In each sixteen aud a closing handicap
This much - formal the unusual Il that
only PLAYERS with NJ q. 4 handicaps Of nins
or lower may qualify In the irst sixteen
players With the equivalent Of a handicap
Of ten or twelve In the second. Of thirteen
10 hfteen In The third and Of siEt cen or over
for the fourth sixteen. The aim u TO bauish
the lack Of interest In the minor sets which
often happens when a player through an
unlucky medal round IL relegntrsi TO a set
below where he really belongs and In which
the Massachusetts, tournaments after the
FIRST sixteen the match play IL on the handi-
cap basis. which entails considerable labor
and responsibility on the committee and
