PRO" GOLFERS TO
SHOW THEIR SKILL
Stars Now Preparing for
Metropolitan Open on
ScarSdale Links.

Professional golfers OF this and
other districts will have chance to
show their wares" early next month
over the links Of the Scarsdale Colt
and Country Club. The contest which
the pros" are already practising for
is the ninth open championship tourna-
ment of the Metropolitan Golf Associ-
alton, the title at present being held
by Alec Smith.
When the Wykagyl professional
showed the way to strong field at
Salisbury last August it marked the
fourth time in eight years that this
player had succeeded in gathering in
first money. The first NJ. G.. A. open
was held at Fox Hills in 1905, but the
tournament was omitted in 1907.
To date the only time a home bred
has had the distinction of winning the
Met" title was when Tom Mcnamara,
of Boston. led large Geld at Apa-
wants. in 1912. but it is quite possible
that Jack Bowling will duplicate Nc
Since Bowling graduated from the
caddie ranks at Nassau he has had
charge of the Scarsdale green, and
those who have kept in touch with
him need not be told of his many
brilliant performances.
Except on rare occasions, profession
ais have poor luck in the attempt TO
win championships over their home
links. The only time it was accom-
rished here was in 1909, the year
Smith won at Wykagyl.
Concident with giving out the Of
fetal programme last night, Frederick
II. Thomas, secretary of the Metropoli-
tan Golf Association. called attention
to the fact that intending players
should not overlook the clause which
stipulates that no entry will be accept
Cd unless accompanied by the s. fee.
All entries for the championship must
reach Mr. Thomas, at II Broadway. this
city. not later than noon on Friday,
