Golfers To Be Busy
in the Month of Roses

assigned that same period 20 the
Wykagyl Country Club. which is
planning to run OF a Vestchester
county championship.
The Fox Hills Golf Club viii hold its
-hree-day invitation on June "a. % and
26. A. one time Apawamls had planned
% conduct its June tournament as well
az the metropolitan championship, but
that idea has been abandoned.
Although all statements with regard
10 dates are AT present scarcely more
than semi-oficial, yet il is already clear
that the coming schedule will be more
crowded than any in former years.
With Lakewood and Atlantic City yet
10 be heard from, the first tournament
date in sight il that awarded TO the
Garden City Golf Club. The tourna-
ment there will begin on May 20 ana
continue the two following days. 4
trhe more than a week later the Tux
edo Golf Club will hold forth. starting
on Friday. May rs, continuing the fol,
lowing day, resting up on sunday ana
finishing on Memorial Day.
Thus far comparatively few requests
have been received for July reserva-
tons. the only positive tournament
thus far for that month being the met
ropolitan open championship al Fox
Hills. on July and 9. This is always
q three day affair, because amateurs
and professionals get together the day
before the tournament IN four-ball
competition.
Another nearby fixture 20 be taken
care % Is the metropolitan Junior
championship. for the last three years
conducted over the links OF the PLAIN
field Country Club. II is as good as
settled that Plainfeld will be relieved
this season. but there ia no telling
where the tournament will go. few
days ago there was n rumor 10 the ef-
feet that the Englewood Country Club
might offer its course 20 the youngsters,
but since then il appears that some Of
the officials OF that organization would
also welcome the Jersey event. The
club would hardly want both. Nothing
official will be known. however, 'untll
after the annual meeting Of the New
Jersey association.
Not little uncertainty IS felt among
close followers of the game as TO the
future policy of the Women's Metro
politan Golf Association. The question
suggested itself after a glance at the
new ticket recently presented by the
Nominating committee Here is the way
one person views the situation:
Whether the committee thought
that the time for cleaning house was
at hand. or whether those who for
several wears lent their energies in
guiding the destinies of the association
have refused to serve any longer, is
really Of small consequence. A great
deal does, however. depend upon the
course which the Women's Netropoli-
tan Golf Association intends TO pursue.
"In justice 20 Mrs. w. ID. Paterson.
the retiring president. it may be said
that this hardworkng official absolutely
refused to serve another term. Mrs.
Lawrence Swift also expects not only
70 resign as secretary, but to drop out
altogether, but the Knollwood woman
has been prevailed upon 70 accept the
nomination for the presidency. That
guarantees al least one worker. Far be
it from me to desire 10 masquerade in
the cloak OF q pessimist. yet | 'hs' m
dOOts.' Miss Marion Hollins. a good
player. has been chosen 70 fill the place
As secretary. vacated by Mrs. Swift. Mrs.
Joseph F.. Davis is the nominee for
treasurer. while on the executive COM
mittee appear such names as Miss Lii
liam b. Hyde. Mrs. A. b. Holden and
Mrs. j. A. Moore. IL will therefore be
seen that with the exception of Mrs.
Francis f.. Donohoe. the nominee for
vice president. and Mrs. Swift, the en-
tire ticket is new.
viii this incoming administration
follow in the footsteps Of the old? Ad-
mittedly the year 1914 was one OF the
most successful ever experienced by
the Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation. Its one-day tournaments were
well attended. and the team made a
brave showing in the Griscom cup
matches At Greenwich. It's fact that
neither Miss Hollins nor Miss Hyde
paid any attention 10 the one-dsy tour
naments They have in the past not
even bothered TO attend the associs-
tons annual meeting. Possibly, now
that they are about 10 be vested with
official responsibilities, they will turn
over a new leaf. For the good of the
q association, let US hope so.'
