Plans Being Formulated for One
of the Biggest Team Matches
Known to Sport.

without having TO ask for the attrac-
tion the Baltusrol Golf Club has secured
the next amateur championship tourna-
ment OF the Metropolitan Golf Associa-
tion. This much was determined on at a
recent meeting Of the executive commit
tee, and May %. 90, "a and 25 were the
dates selected These are in accordance
with the metropolitan custom.
As the Apawamis club expressed a
willingness to handle the open champion
ship. the committee awarded that tourna>
ment to the Rye organization, July 10
and II being the dates assigned. Septem-
ber % and 26 were reserved for the
seniors meeting, an Apawamis annual
The Montclair Golf Club has been granted
June l3, II and l5 for its usual invita-
tion affair while the three last days Of
the following week, June 20. 2l and p,
have been reserved for the Apawamis
summer tournament Taking II all in ALL
it looks like a busy competitive season at
the home Of the lobster"-the Indian
translation for Apawamis
At the annual meeting OF the Netropol-
itan Golf Association in this city last De,
cember the only application for the ANA
teur championship was received from the
Country club Of Lakewood This course
however. was regarded as "A trhe out OF
the regular circuit. consequently IL soon
became known that the executive commit
tee would be pleased to consider othe- Of
fors As for Baltusrol. II is doubtful II a
better selection could ho made, as the
course Is admittedly one ~ the best in
tho East Tho only other time tho met

when Charles Scely won after a sensa-
tonal thirty-cight-hole match with Je-
rome u. Travers in tho final round. Trav-
ers. by the way. is the present title holder.
The VI. c. A. executive committee also
considered the suggestion made TO have a
team match between the METROPOLITAN and
New Jersey associations. 1t was finally
decided to refer this to F. s. Wheeler the
president, with power. MIR. Wheeler has
written W. y. Vandcrpool the Metro
politan secretary to the effect that he is
favorab" to the plan and he has empOw-
cred the latter TO go ahead and get up such
a match. In doing this Mr.. Vanderpool
will work I'm conjunction with Fred II.
Thomas. president OF tho New Jersey State
Golf Association.
This lnsurcs what i'm all likelihood will
prove to be the greatest team match ever
PLAYED IN tho East. If not I'm the country.
There will ho twenty players on a side.
While no attempt has been made to select
a course or assign a date. the sentiment is
that the match should follow closely after
both associations have held rhoir cham
pionships Now that the Metropolitan
body has settled on it's week the chances
are that tho New Jersey organization will
pick June 6, and 5. and i'm all probability
the team clash would occur tho following
week
