Al last golfers have devised a method Of
playing their favorite game even when
taking an ocean voyage. With all the
ocean for a course the hazards OF rolling
pillows for bunkers and unlimited space
for driving. with the drives measured 10

tematized through the inspiration OK w.

With regard to the annual competition
certainty seems TO exist as 10 the proper
, INTERPRETATION of the conditions. II VIII ne
remembered that at the last annual gamer
ing of the Women's Golf Association OF
Philadelphia. the Womens Coli Association
Of Boston and the Women's metropolitan
Golf Association at Huntingdon valley
nav, agreement was entered into by the as
soclations mentioned. The agreement, signed
on June .. 1910, follows
We, the undersigned. representing Tue
Women's Metropolitan Golf Association, tue
Womens Golf Association or fhiiddeIp',ia
| and the Women's Golf Association, hereoy
| agree. c,...
That the intercty matches for the Clenl-
ent Acton Griseom cup be played each year
| between June | and 10 .
That the matches for 1911 be played IN
the Boston district. for 1872 In the New
| York district and for 1918 In the Philadei-
phia district BY district is meant some
| course adjacent to these cities.
! That the choice Of the course shall be
| left to the executive committee OF the asso-
! citation i'm whose district the matches are
/ played. and comforting with the executive
committee Of the Women's Eastern Coll
| Association.
That there be fifteen players on each
| tcam-iifteen single matches being played
/ I'm the morning and six foursome matches IN
/ the afternoon each match scoring one
point.
Substitutes may be played In the after
noon only with the consent OF the opposing
captain.
! That each team shall play every other
team, the local team playing the second
and third days.
Then follow the signatures of the pres-
dent and secretary OF each association.
Now. the question arises. BY what method
are the matches To be scored? 1t is gem
orally conceded that the coming meeting
az Brae Burn will see the three teams
fghting IL out in a round robin: that Is.
each team playing the other team. Points
are also TO be scored In the singles in the
morning and the foursomes after luncheon.
hut will the side that wins two matches
be declared the winner. or will the final
outcome remain IN doubt until the total
number Of points have been computed?
one official Of the Women's Metropolitan
Golf Association says she IL not positive.
hut she thinks that the total points are
TO count At all events, il Is quite possible
for a tie TO result, thereby bringing about
an unfortunate deadlock that the women
might ma IL inconyenent 10 settle IN an
immediate play-off.
A four-ball match has been arranged Tor
the Van Cortlandt Park links this after
noon. Gil Nichols and Tom Anderson. jr.
will meet Joe Sylvester and VIII Hunt the
local players. Sylvester is the boy who
won the Van cortlandt Park tournament
