sey State Golf Association will meet on
Tuesday and on Thursday the Women's
Metropolitan Golf Association will elect
Its officers and select the links for lts
annual tourney. These two associations
are about the last on the local list. so by
the end Of the week the golfers Of New
York will know where all OF their cham
ponships are to be played.
Once the list Of championships IL ar
ranged and the dates selected the
numerous clubs which intend to hold in
vitation tournaments during the coming
season will know Just where they stand.
r.. Mortimer Barnes, secretary OF the
Metropolitan Golf Association. has the
none too easy task of receiving the APP
plcations for tournament dates and so
arranging the seasons schedule that
there will be no conflicts. June dates
always are in demand as that month
seems to be the most popular. but there
is just as good golhng weather In other
months that hitherto often has been
neglected. Most OF the clubs which have
been In the custom OF holding invitation
tournaments will be on the list again
this year and as far az possible they
will get their usual dates when Mr..
Barnes makes out his schedule.
The Jersey golfers will assemble on
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the
office OF Frederick II. Thomas. at IL
Broadway. Each active club. OF which
there now are thirty y-seven. is entitled
to send one voting delegate to the meet
ing.
Just where the associations annual
championship will be sent Will not be
known until the votes have been counted.
only one formal application has been
made, that OF the Englewood Country
Club. but formal applications are not
necessary and other clubs may apply
through their delegates at the meeting.
Both Deal and Hollywood. down on
the shore. are said to be anxious 10 OBJ
tain the tourney, and one OF them. or
perhaps some club from wt~'h nothing
has been heard SO far, will capture the
prize. Englewood Is anxious to get the
Jersey championship despite the fact that
the club already has received the junior
Metropolitan championship.
There has been some talk OF playing
the New Jersey tourney before the Met
ropolltan championship this year, instead
OF afterward as. has been the case In
the past The latter tourney will be
played on June :. SO and 10 this year
even later than usual. so the Jersey
golfers will have a splendid chance to
try out the new plan.
The president for 1915 will be elected
on Tuesday. The present head OF the
association is William Watson OF Baltus-
rol Under the constitution the other
officers all are appointed by the presi-
dent.
The meeting OF me womens Metro
politan Golf Association. which will be
held on Thursday morning al the Bilt-
more. will mark the beginning of the
association's sixteenth year. and the
ffteen years OF its history all have been
prosperous Electing officers. choosing
the championship course and the dis
cussion OF numerous other details of
the associations management will con-
stitute the programme.

meeting. Ardsey may be in the field, ,
and II Deal does not get the New Jersey

OF entertaining the women golfers for

Golfers who will come under the ban
imposed by the new amateur ruling
made in Chicago on January l5 are
not being hurried into the professional
ranks by the United States Golf A>so-
riation. but are heine allowed an OPP !
portunity TO get from under before the
blow fails. There will be no undue haste
about the process OF dccapitation. hut |;
once the process begins the new rule Is
pretty sure to he enforced strictly. The !
statements made by the various officials !
,f the L s. q. A. since they returned !
from Chicago shows that. They regret |
The situation which made them feel that |
The passage OF the new rule was neces-
,ary, but they will enforce 1t none the
ess strictly for that reason.
