1t has decided to establish a rule at the
annual meeting next month that all aver
ages whether made In preliminary or
championship finals may be considered in
determining the proper rating of a player.
At the present time any man who
averages less than FIVE is entitled to a
place in class c. This was Appleby's
class last year when he failed 20 go over
the five mark. but he came along and up
set things this year by winning the pre-
liminary round without a single defeat
and with grand average of more than
six. The rule entities him to a place in
class G, but his showing does not, for he
has the best single average of As
winch he made twice. and still cannot be
ousted from playing in the final round
according to the present rule. He will he

Hgures. JOHN u. ANDERSON
The only standard of measurement
which can be used perhaps Is to take the
number of clubs in the country and multi
ply by 225 as an average membership. and
We may be safe In saying that members
OF recognized golf clubs in the United
States figure up to 100000. Then there
are about sixty public or semi-public
courses where golfers to the number of
nearly 100000 make merry. Perhaps 25.-
900 others play when the spirit moves or
a friend invites. The total number. some
thousands over half a million, Is not far
from the true figure. l feel sure.
1t seems certain that new golfers to
the number OF 10000 or 90. 900 are taking
up the game each year. New courses and
clubs have sprung up like mushrooms. II
is perfectly safe to say that this ratio
of increase will keep up for a decade at
least.
The average golfer who takes his golf
at all seriously may be said to average
sixty rounds year. Probably there are
100000 such in the land. This total. H.
100000. is further augmented by 1000. 900
in the case OF $4,000 players who go
round but twenty times. There are about
the same number who play even less and
500 900 rounds will suffice for them. Then
comes the bunch who are the golfers. the
Some will play 400 rounds a year and
the others will have but seventy-fve or
so. But the average will be over 100 pos
sibly. which means a little over two rounds
week in the playing season. All told
this body will not register less than
100000 rounds the number being
swelled considerably by the play at the
municipal courses. At the courses in Chi
cage about 400. 600 rounds were made 60.
the golfers who were not registered from

When We come to the playing end OF

Beginning January | the entire auto
mobile tire production OF the United States
Tire Company will be concentrated in the
Detroit and Hartford plants. All solid
tires for motor trucks. carriages and
vehicles Of all sorts will be concentrated
in Providence. Bicycle and motor cycle
tires will be made exclusively at Indian
apol.s,
Each OF these plants will specialize
on its own particular line. the result be-
ing that on the important item of auto
mobile tires there viii be one very large
factory specializing ON this item in the
East and another very large factory in
the central West thus giving ideal Condi-
tons from a standpoint of distribution.
II may be noted incidentally that this
concentration makes thu Indianapolis plant
the largest in tho world devoted 20 bicy-
Gle and motor cycle tire business and il
is the expectation that the Providence
plant will eventually become the largest
