Plenty of Links Excite
ment for Both Sexes
While Autumn Leaves
Are Falling
By SANDY McNIBLICK


THEsE will be busy times in the local
l. golf world.
Journeys topple over each other In great
est abandon with so many events that there
has not been a chance for the brow
wrinlkled schedule committee Of the Golf
Assoc alton TO straighten out the tangle
and spread everything out in a process
sion OF bouts. one at time.
The Philadelphia open championship. open
to all amateurs or professionals Of clubs
belonging to the United States Golf Asso-
citation. which is now the biggest event for
men on the local schedule. Is yet TO be
placed. IL has been set over TO october
and with the shifting Of the date OF the
Pennsylvania open from September to the
middle of October, there does not seem TO
be much chance for the local tourney till
the latter part of that month.
This should bring out a beautiful field,
since Il is not a busy season for most pro-
fessionals. and they ought to come from,
far and near.

The Lu Lu tourney came at such a con-
| hicting time that the combination of all
| difficulties brought about the change. II
| has not been decided as yet whether to
cancel the event or hold IL later in the
season.
