Chicago, Dec 29.-Delegates to the

association will gather In Chicago ON
Jan. 20, according to notice sent out
yesterday by Secretary E. A. Eulass.
The annual election Of officers will
take place at this time, association
tournaments for 1912 will be awarded
and action will be taken upon a pro-
posed amendment to the constitution.
The session will be held at the Hotel
La Sale.
The ticket selected by the nomina-
ting committee was also named by
Eulass yesterday, and likewise the
clubs which have already placed bids
for the holding Of the next annual
tournament John d. Cady of the Rock
Island Arsenal club has been picked to
fill the presidential chair to succeed
William Hepburn. Frank L. Wood
ward of the Denver club Is billed for
vice president, Charles E. Willard of
South Shore for secretary, and Bruce
D. Smith of the Onwentsia club for
treasurer.
TWO CLUBS ARE BIDDERS.
So far only two clubs have made an
effort to conduct the big amateur and
open tournaments in 1912. AS pre-
viously announced the Denver Country
club has made application to the Sec
rotary for the amateur championship
and Olympic cup competitions, and
unless an upset occurs at the meeting
the Colorado metropolis will be favored
with the event There has been a
slight kick registered against conduct
ing the tournament so far away from
central point, but this opposition is
not likely to figure when it comes to
casting ballots.
The open championship has beer
asked for by the Idlewild Country club
OF Flossmoor. No fight is promised
for this attraction, as the other clubs
of the association are apparently salts
fed with letting the award go where
1t will, and In this case sentiment
seems to favor the Chicago club, which
is already making preparations to han
die the visiting pros and amateurs IL
gala style.
