Most Important of WOm-
ems Journeys To Be Held
in This Vicinity.
NEW YORK ALSO GETS
LESLEY CUP MATCHES
Wood and Evans May Join Party
That Will Bid for Foreign
HOnOrS This Year.

Al least four championship golf tourna-
ments that were held outside Of the met
ropolitan district in 1915 are scheduled for
clubs in this vicinity this year, and as
result it may be expected that the cream
Of the American talent OF all classes viii
be seen in action here.
There will be. in the first place. the
vomens national championship at Mas
san on September Il TO 70. which makes
up for the transfer Of the national anna
teur 10 Ekwanok. VI. Thus this part OF
the golfng account is balanced. There
will also be the women's Eastern cham
p,onship and the tri-city matches for the
Griscom Cup at Greenwich on June 20 G,
both OF which were held at Brae Burn,
Mass, last June.
All this means that the finest women
golfers Of America and England will cen
ire their attention in the vicinity OF New
York practically on every occasion Of I'M
nortance. Miss Gladys Ravenscroft, the
English girl who won the American
championship last fail, and her compat-
riot. Miss Muriel Dodd, champion ~ both
Canada and England, will be here to pay
at Nassau.
The intercollegiate championship is on
the card for Garden City September 10
% coming mere from the Philadelphia
district II was held al Huntington Va
lev last fall. Conditions governing the
tournament have not yet been announced
1t is also the turn Of the metropoH'an
association 10 look after the tri-staie
matches for the Lesley Cup this fan. Two
wears ago these contests We're run OF at
Huntington Valley and last year at
Brookline. shortly after the national open
championship. Here. too, conditions nave
not been decided upon.
The rules are Of especial interest this
wear in view of the controversy over the
proposed substitution Of four ball match-
es for foursomes Pennsylvania officially
favors the change. Massachusetts Off
cially opposes the change and the metro
poltan players have voted strongly in
favor Of four ball matches.
Three men have the entire decision.
They are Herbert Jacques, president Of
the Massachusetts, Golf Association; ROD
ert W. Lesley. donor Of the cup, who Is
president OF the Pennsylvania state Golf
Association. and Darwin Il. Kingsley. the
now chief executive OF the Metropolitan
Golf Association Jacques and Lesley
have expressed their opinions as being the
desires OF their respective territories
K,,cslev when asked for a statement
,be other day. said he preferred TO say
nothing al this time, so the SITUATION
stands al present deadlocked.
Inst what course will be chosen for the
Eastern interscholastic championship is a
matter for conjecture. Max r. Marstoh'
the president last year. IS no longer III
the schoolboy ranks. and the cher eAecu-
tive is now Horace Henderson OF raw
ling. There has been some talk OF the
tournament going 20 a Philadelpuha cruz
as a means for stimulating interest," III
the competition, but nothing oH1claI mas
been done. Plainheld was the venue last
June.
Word from the West is 20 the erect
that Warren X Wood the Western anna
tour champion. will try his fortunes
abroad this year along with Ouiihe''
Travers. Herreshoff Lockwood. Schmidt
and Marston. Wood has been considering
the trip for some time and IL may be
that Charles Evans. jr., will decide TO
tolnt the party and thus make the Ameri-
can entry IN the British and French
cbaupionship the most representative
mai ever has made a bid for foreign
amateur honors.
