Meeting

Meeting.
Springfield Mass, Nov. 22-Believ-
ing that the Woodland Golf club in
it's fight for more clear amateur leg
islation is deserving Of open encour-
agement, especially by clubs in the
Massachusetts district, the Springfield
Golf club has written Woodland
that it is in full sympathy
with the latter club. Springfield
assures Woodland that when the ques-
ton of reinstatement of Francis Oui-
met, Paul Tewksbury and John H.
Sullivan, Jr., comes up before either
the M. G. A. or the United States Golf
association, Springfield will have a
representative at the meeting prepared
to insist upon wide discussion of the
affair.
According to Springfield officials
there is no reason why the trio of
Woodland stars should have been
barred from competing in tourna-
ments merely because they are earn
ing a. living conducting a sporting
goods store. Also Springfield officials
assert that there are many either &C
tive members Of the U. S. G. A. ready
to take up the cudgels for Woodland,
all of which promises a stormy meet
ing of the U. S. G. A. next January.

great struggle in Bukowina and
Galicia has reached a critical point
for the Austrians.
Important Russian victories yes
terday on the outskirts Of Czerno-

east Of Buczacz, have added great
ly to the menace against Lemberg,
have virtually assured the fall of
the fortress capital of Bukowina,
and threaten to open the rich Ga
lician plains to the swiftly moving
forces of the Car.
General Brusiloff's troops have
swept across the Dniester and have
captured practically every fortified
position in their path, including
Zale Szczyky, one of the most i'm
portant positions on that line of
Notifications.
AUSTRIANS RUNNING FAST.
In this region and to the north the
disorganized Austrian forces are re-
treating as swiftly AZ the Russians
are advancing.
The result is that fewer prisoners are
falling into the hands of the Russians
than In the first days OF The offensive,

by the fleeing Austrians appears to be
Increasing rather than Eliminating.
