WALTER HARLAN IS
BACK IN HARNESS
Columbia Country Club Chair
man of Greens Committee
to Work on Coming Event.
By acLEEK.

DR.. Walter Harlan, chairman Of the
greens committee at the Columbia
Country Club, is back in harness, and
great progress on the fall tournament
at Columbia is expected shortly.
DR.. Harbar was among those who
participated at the National Golf Asso-
citation amateur championship at Gar
den City last week, but failed to qualify.
He was up there for the purpose OF
landing several of the golfers for the
Columbia Country Club tournament on
October %.
Yale and Williams will play today for
the team championship of the Intercol-
legiate Golf Association at the Hunt
ingdon Valley Country Club. Noble
This result was determined by Williams
victory over Cornell and the elimination
of Princeton by Yale yesterday. Will
Jams margin over Cornell was eight
matches to one. while the Blue players
only won their way into the final by
five matches to four. Thus again does
Williams play In the final, and 1t is a
question as to whether history will re-
peat ITSELF as last year these two COL
leges met for the title and Yale won.
While a cog slipped when Abe Mitch
ell failed to appear for the national
amateur championship at Garden City,
it leaves the international phase Of
golf still to come. Next week will be
the open championship at Brookline,
with Vardon, Ray, Reid and Teller
already here, and in only a little more
than a month the other affair of world
wide interest is on the cards FOR the
Wilmington Country Club, the women's
national championship. Miss Muriel
Dodd, who won the British women's g
title at st. Anne's-on-Sea, in June, and
the former champion, Miss Gladys
Ravencrcft, set sail for America on
Wednesday.
There have been rumors Of their
coming, but with the actual date for
sailing arranged and other matters
completed there is no longer doubt
about their being here. Meanwhile the
ton has arranged a schedule of eight
one day tournaments, which will
serve as a trial for the representatives
of this district. 1t is noticed that in
the schedule four clubs which have
not been visited appear. They are
Inwood, Brooklawn, Arcola, and Sleepy
Hollow. The schedule follows:
September g. Inwood; &c. Brooklawn;
90, Morris County; October 2, Rich
mond County; Z, North jersey; 9. Sal
isbury; IA. Arcola; q. Sleepy Hollow.
AS soon as the open championship at
Brookline is finished Vardon and Ray
will hustle to New York to play the
Smith brothers. Aleck and Macdonald.
at Wykagyl on Monday, September %
The fall program of the metropolitan
district has been cut by the withdrawal
of Morris County Golf Club and Nassau
Country Club from the list OF tourna-
ment hosts. Morris county has had to
n bf rdon its event on September 16.
II. and IS because Of alterations in
the clubhouse. Changes in the
course is given as the reason for
the Nassau organization deciding to
omit the invitation tournament this
year. The dates arranged for the
latter event were October >, 3, and I.
