When the District of Columbia Golf
Association was organized year or
so ago, those behind the movement had
in mind as its sole object the arrange
ment Of an event to decide the Dis
trict championship. but at its organi-
ration meeting, when the constitution
and bylaws were drawn up. it's scope
was enlarged so that 1t would assume
general oversight of local golf affairs
and do all in it's power to advance the
games interest Now, after two years
of activity, the first important question
along general lines has been put up to
it for decision. 1t has been raised by
Ormsby McCammon. one of the most
prominent golfers of the Chevy Chase
Club. who has written President Nor
Ven Thompson the following:
II have just read in one of our local
papers an article entitled Must Define
an Amateur Golfer If it is true, as
Brooke. formerly of Sandy Spring, Nd
and now of Philadelphia, has been
barred from amateur golf events be-
cause he receives pay for coaching a
foot bali team. then it is about time
Tor US to put new Interpretation on
the word amateur from a golfing
standpoint.
Few of us who play golf can say
in our line. professional or otherwise.
Are all who receive compensation for
any kind of work performed or advice
given to be classed as professional
golfers?
Are only those who have a sufficient
income cleft them by will or otherwise)
to live upon without working and who
play golf the only Simon pure amateur
golfers?
Il ask you for a ruling on the SUBJ
ject at your earliest convenience, as I
wish to be able to play in amateur golf
events in the near future.
Il am sure there are many others who
play the royal and ancient game who
would like the question settled imme-
diateiy.'
The article in question states that
Mr.. Brooke has been barred from COM
petition in the Philadelphia champion
ship tournament by the, Philadelphia
Golf Association because he is coach
Of the University of Pennsylvania
foot ball team. which is violation of
the strict tenets of the amateur rule.
This is only another of the many alb
surdities of the definition of the amateur
rule which has been brought forcibly to
the attention of the sport lovers of this

LOCAL GOLF BODY IS ASKED
TO DEFINE AMATEUR STATUS
Question Raised by Ormsby McCammon of
Chevy Chase Club Because of Recent
Disbarment of George Brooke.

country recently The subject was taken
up by the national body last fall and.
although a decision was made. it is not
clear and those looking up the rules on
the subject are as much in the dark as
they were before. Just how the officials
arrived at their conclusions in the
Brookes case Is hard to imagine. If by
taking money as a foot ball coach Mr..
Brooke has invalidated his chances of
competing as an amateur golfer. then it
will be necessary for the local associa-
ton and every other association to be-
gin thorough housekeeping. In every
other line OF sport Mr.. Brooke is rated
as an amateur. In court tennis and rae
quets he is regarded as one of the best
players in America, and in no sport in
the world is there such strongly mark
ed line between the amateur and the
pro" as court tennis. The game is
and the lines strictly observed. yet his
standing in this has never been question

AS a matter of fact: Travers. Ouimet.
Anderson. Evans and other prominent
golfers are paid good money to write golf
open championship events against pro-
fessionals for valuable prizes. or to
assist in laying out and giving advice
regarding new golf courses for pay,
and nothing is thought of it. 1t GER
tainly does seem that the time has
come when some clean-cut, sensible
and rational line of demarkation should
be drawn between amateurs and profess
SIGNALS, and it is believed that Mr.. Nc
Cammon's letter will start matters to-
ward this end. locally, at least.
President Thompson has decided to
lay the matter before the executive
committee of the local association.
which is composed of its officers. and a
meeting will be called in the near
future. The District body's rules pro-
vide that it shall be guided by those of
the United States Golf Association. and
so it would not be at all surprising if
the national body were called upon to
place an Interpretation on its state
ments as to what Is an Amateur"
DR.. Walter Harlan. member of the
executive committee of the local asso-
citation. also is a member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the United States
Association. and it is probable he can
throw some light on the subject. He is
now summering in Poland Springs, but
has been written to. His reply is being
awaited with much interest.

impossible to put about. The appara-
