There are so many high, class amateurs
playing this year that picking winner

various places throughout the last season.
OF this quartet there seems 10 be little or
no choice. a great deal will depend upon
the draw, and unless these rivals are
brought together early in the tournament
they are certain to do credit TO the East.
No pains or expense have been spared
by the Rawamis officials in an endeavor
to place the course In the best possible
condition. Gangs Of men have been work
ing on the greens for several weeks, with
the result that the putting surfaces never
appeared more attractive than now. 1t has
always been said-and the criticism still
holds good-that Apawamis could stand
more trapping. but it is worthy Of mention
that such hazards as do exist are well
placed. A few days of dry weather will
tend TO make the course considerably
faster by the end of the week. On the
other hand, should rains be frequent the
heavy hitters-those capable OF getting ex-
tremely long carries from either wood or
iron-will have a distinct advantage over
the shorter players.
The United States Golf Association has
been careful to avoid any possible repeti-
ton Of last years Brookline congestion by
arranging TO get the first pair off as early
as o'clock tomorrow morning. Follow
