have been, allotted to Western clubs
ID the same year. 80.
Eight years ago both hampionships
were decided, on Western courses. 1t
was then that Jerome D. TraVers won
the ffrsts of his four national victories
by defeating Archibald Graham. the
former New Jersey state champion

Although entry for the amateur
championship will not close until next
Monday the list of, aspirants to the

field OF competitors will compare more
than favorably with any Dreyious tour
nament. With the addition OF ~
names to- the eligible list a few days
ago. there are over 300 golfers rated
at five strokes and under. and there is
every indication that this years con-
test will be unusually interesting.
For the first time since its incep
ton the national event will begin a
fuli week before the day set for the
final round this year. In order to cone
successfully against the congestion
hitherto experienced by the officials In
handling big fields in the elimination

ranged for a preliminary qualifying
round of IS holes to be played next
Saturday. The best GA scores that day
will entitle those who make them to
take part in the &c hole qualifying
round on Monday, August 80, and the
80 players having the best scores in
the second days play will qualify for
participation in the &c hole match
play rounds for the championship dur
