NATIONAL GOLF LIST
HAS At NEW NAMES
II. NJ. Hartman, 1899 Cham
pion, One Who May Play
for Amateur Title.
II. B. DAVIS ALSO ADDED

The national handicap list, that roll
OF honor which includes all American
golfers eligible to play for The national
amateur championship. now contains 31s
names. When the list was announced
last spring 1t contained the names Of
I271 golfers. and n supplemental list OF
forty-seven has been by
Howard +. Whitney. secretary Of the
United States Golf Association. Under
the rules governing the handicap list II
must be complete thirty days before he
beginning of the amateur championship,
80 the forty-seven new names are he
last that will be added to the list this
year.
Those who are familiar with Ameri-
can golflng history will note one added
name that will revive memories OF by
gone days. Herbert NJ. Hartman. ma
tional champion in 1899. the FIRST ma
tive born golfer to win the national
title, has decided that he still belongs
among the good golfers. and evidently
has proved that fact to the satisfaction
OF the L. S. G.. a. executive committee
for III. NJ. Hartman. Piping Rock"
may be found among the elect. And
Piping Rock Is not a course on which
1t is easy to make three scores low
enough to convince the L. s. G.. A. OIL
Gals that the maker il entitled TO a
national rating.
Just as every one expected, the name
OF Harry X. L. Davis. the winner OF
the Panama-Pacifc at San
Francisco. is among those rated. That
he was left off the original draft was
due only to the fact that his club did
not make its report In time.
Many OF the tournament winners OF
the present season have been added to
the national list. and a number Of met
ropolitan golfers are among the new
the Western Golf Association. and his
son. Dewitt c. Balch. who won the
Western junior championship last week,
are both listed among the new names.
The supplemental list follows
