CRAGN AND GRANT WIN GOLF CLUBS NEED SPUR
Many of Them Slow in Filing
HandiCaps for Rating.

| ONT Of the nfty-six notices issued by the
b,rdicap committee Of the Metropolitan
Golf Association on February ? returns
have been received from only twcnty'sN
clubs. Furthermore 4. II. Pogson ana MS
| co workers on the committee feel that ther
| trials are doubly hard to bear this year IN
that among the delinquent organizations are
included clubs that in former seasons were
the first to respond Even the Plalnheio
! Country Club seems TO have lapsed into
| lothargic condition, and the same may be
| esid of Dyker Meadow and Garden City.
/ on the other hand, the Westbrook Goli
, Club got the jump on AL others this uine

committee on the afternoon OF February d.
In commenting on the present situation MI
! Pogson said:
! "Some Of the clubs that have not as yet
| complied with tho conditions are late almost
every year. bat II is quite surprising TO see

/ the more prominent golf clubs in the metro
poltan district II is TO he hoped that the
members Of these clubs will either telephone

less the clubs cooperate with the commit

! from the printed list unless the reports are
sent in shortly In such case the blame VIII
lie with the committee OF their own cluo
and not with the Metropolitan Golf Associ-
alton committee.
"It is surprising to see the manner In
which some Of the clubs send In their re-
ports. For instance. one club shows that

Golf Association basis is "a, but 1t most
carefully returns its handicaps based on 10,
states that 1t has done so and leaves 1t TO
| the METROPOLITAN Golf Association commit
tee TO make the necessary allowance for the
difference when alloting the handlcaps. An
other club returns seven men from scratch,
whereas the committee is almost certain
that the best Of these seven should rate at
about four; presumably therefore, the re-
mainder Of this clubs ratings are about
cour strokes wrong
