tions governing the tournament which

Marston, the present title holder, has left

There is one phase OF the situation
which is considered unfortunate. II IS
that the final match OF the interscholastc
conflicts with the first day OF tho metro
politan amateur championship az Engle-
wood. and IL II should happen that tho
youthful Carter gets to the final round
Of the interschoastic lie would be pre-
vented from competing in the metropoli-
tan amateur. as he is planning to do
II Is possible. therefore, that the tournn-
ment at Scarsdale will 10 shifted 10 a
week earlier. The officers Of the associa-
ton are as follows: President, Philip v.
G. Carter: vice-president. William T. Bad
ham. Lawrenceville; sccretary-treasurer,

After weeks OF delays and disappoi Mt
ments the work Of compiling the handicap
list OF the United States Golf Association
has at last been completed. and the data
were sent to the printer last night. When
the new list makes its appearance II will
be greatly reduced from last year. in that
fstc af .rFfl hA nf1f
90. a condition brought about through the
fact that I'm this seasons compilation the
C division has been eliminated.
There were 270-odd names in the sixth
last year. and of these and the
new ones only fifty have been advanced
70 the fifth. so "a 10 become eligible for
the national amateur championship at
Ekwanok II may be surmised, therefore,
that there are not az many men advanced
as were expected The executive commit
tee plans to rush the work through and
have the list mailed TO various clubs by
the middle OF next week.
There has been great deal OF con-
lecture as 10 the possible ranking OF the
leaders. 1t is more than likely that when
the list makes its appearance Francis
Ouimet, the youthful amateur who won
the open championship. will have q
scratch rating along with Jerome D.
Travers. the amateur title holder.
While the season was none too good FOR
Charles W Evans, jr., yet his golf is
considered so good that he will hardly
be ranked lower than I and IL is prob
able that he Will be alone In that posi-
ton.
Despite the fact that John G.. Anderson,
runner-up TO Travcrs I'm the national anna
teur. receives a scratch rating along with
Oulme: in Massachusetts. IT is hardly
likely that he will obtain better than in
the national list. and in this he will un
doubtedly be bracketed with the Western
title holder. Warren K. Wood.
