scratch on the Metropolitan handi-
cap list. and again there is no one
nearer him than the two mark. The
1915 list was given out yesterday by
James A. Tying. chairman Of the handi-
cap committee OF the Metropolitan Golf
Association. As usual. Il contains the
names OF all golfers in the district
deemed worthy Of handicaps Of or
better. and there are 62s names In all.
Last year there were $50.
This year there are four men at 2.
John q. Anderson. Oswald kirkby, Max
X. Marston and Walter J. Travis. Two
of them. kirkby and Travis. we're there
last year. but the others are newcomers.
Anderson drifted In from the Boston
district last year and by becoming run.
ner up In both the Metropolitan and
national championships clearly estab-
lished his right to the place that he
occupies.
Marston was at 3 last year and earned
his promotion by his succession Of vic.
tories In invitation tournaments. his
capture Of the New Jersey championship
and his great work In the national at
Detroit, where he reached the SEMI
final and all but beat the ultimate win
ner. Robert Gardner
II II one Of the two names placed al
2 that will be the most fruitful source
OF criticism Of the new list. There are
two men this year. Eben NJ. BXers
who although he lives In Pittsburg. is
"A member Of st. Andrews. and so gets
Metropolitan rating. and Philip v
q. Carter There are many followers
OF golf who will be unable to under.
stand why. Carter Is not rated at
with Marston. Anderson. Travis and
kirkby. He made a remarkably good
record last season and on more thar
one occasion proved his worth. VIII,
he il not at 2 u sure to be . pretty biz
puzzle TO his host Of friends.
The sixteen names at I really com
plcte the honor roll Of the metropolitan
district. for those with hve strokes ol
more are too numerous to earn mucf
individual distinction. The sixteen golf
ers at 4 are +. NJ Barnes. T. v. Ber
mingham. Findlay s. Douglas. Angus

See!y. John y. Stearns Sd: Henry
Topping. John NJ. Ward. Roy n. Webt
| Walter X. Whighan,. Gardiner w. White
Nelson Whitney and Edwin NJ. Wild. o
this lot the only real newcomer is Par
ker Seely, who IL advanced from tn
| division. Whigham WAS at . last yea
and the others were just where the.
| are now.
There is one man who has bee,
dropped from to 5. but II Is sicknes
that has caused the demotion. Fre
HerreshofY is the golfer in question an
all Of his many friends realize that
| he is fortunate enough to regain hi
h. alth he soon will he up near the to
once more.
