WESTERN GOLFERS
DEFER SECESSION
Imminent Rupture in Golf
Ranks Seems Averted
For a Time.

NEW YORK. Jan. eo.-The golf pot
continues 10 boil. even though the
disErUutIed ones IN the West have
temporarily decided TO defer radical
action, amounting to secession, until
some future date This Is shown by
the fun text Of the resolution passed
at the annual meeting Of the Western
Golf Association in Chicago recently.
The original amendments 10 the con
stituJiOn OF the Western body TO change
the name and remove ali Ee0gra lhical
lines were Withdrawn, but in their
place new resolutions were submitted
and adopted which not only provide for
a change Of name. but 90 further by
empowering the board OF directors to
institute a movement for the formation
Of an American or national asSocia-
ton which. iG organized. shall become
the recognized golf governing body
OF North America, OF such part thereof
as may be mutually determined by its
creators.
Whether this action on the part OF
the Western association can be con

time being al least. remain largely a
matter OF opinion Anyhow, il will
