position that he held a year ago. though
then Travers was the only one ahead OF
him. as Ouimet at that time was "A little
known Boston golfer whose ability was
recognized to the extent OF assigning him
10 a place on the mark.

c. Fownes, Jr,. Of Pittsburg and b. War
rem Corkran of Baltimore. There are
forty-hve golfers at strokes and 1875
at g. making n total Of 227 on the entire
list which, under the rules OF the L. 8
G. A., includes the name Of every golfer
who is eligible to play In the national
amateur championship. The dropping Of
the division from the list has meant
the elimination OF over 200 names. and
the care with which the members OF the
executive committee went over the list
In order that none should be omitted
who were entitled to be included was
largely responsible for the delay OF over
q month In getting out the ratings
Metropolitan golfers fare exceedingly
well In the new alignment. as there are
eighty-four members q metropolitan clubs
scattered about on the list The Chicago
district is next with twenty-five represcn-
tatiyes, Philadelphia is third with TWEEN
ty-one Boston has twenty and Pittsburg
five Detroit comes forward as golhng
centre of almost equal importance with
Pittsburg. as four Detroit golfers find
places among the championship eligibles.
The Southern States have fourteen names
on III, list. and the Pacific coast States
have eleven. The remainder OF tie golfers
whose names appear are scattered about
the country in small groups OF two or
three
The cutting off OF the 6 men has elm
mated number of the prominent figures
OF past golfing history. and three former
national champions, Charles b. Macdonald,
II. Whigham and Herbert N. Harri-
man, can no longer play for the tile they
once held. There Is sure to be an unusually
large number of those who have been dis
carded who will challenge the decision of
the l. : q. A and will take advantage
OF the provision which allows them to get
back on the list by complying with GER
tain conditions. Those who wish to be
placed on the list again must submit to
the L, 5 @ A three scores made on three
different days over the regular course OF
a club that is member Of the associa.
ton The scores must be verified by a
marker, and the L $. q. A executive
committee serves the right to require
other evidence than the records of the
three eighteen hole rounds. The list;
