Veteran Golfers After
Metropolitan H0n0rs

under way as early as o'clock to-
morrow morning on the course of the
Nassau Country Club, at Glen Cove,
Long Island with field of just 100
players beginning the struggle for the
title now held by Walter j. Travis.
The champion himself will be among
the missing, as will Jerome Dunstan
Travers. These two have won the title
nine times between themselves, Travis
supplying four of the victories and
Jerry the other five But there will be
other former holders of the champion
ship on hand, and it is these veterans
who will try to stop the younger set in
the golfing world from overriding age
and plucking the laurel wreath
! Most venerable among these former
great, in point of tournament expert
ence. at least, will be Herbert NJ. Harri-
man. who won the title in 1899, over
the Garden City Golf Clubs links. and
Findlay S. Douglas. who took the
honors in 1901 at Apawamis. Frederick
Herreshoff. of Garden City, champion in
1910, and Oswald Kirkby, of Englewood.
who came through the field successfully
in 1914 over his home course. are two
others who will try to regain the top
again.
Gordon Douglas to Start Tourney.
To transpose an old saying for the
sake Of golf, "the early golfer catches
the worm-casts," and so it is liable to
prove tomorrow morning, for j. Gordon
Douglas, of Piping Rock. will start the
balls rolling when he pairs off with c.
h. Mccain at the unearthly hour of 7
o'clock. The rest of the players will
be sent away from the first tee at five
minute intervals thereafter, the last
pair scheduled 70 drive off being Dwight
Partridge, of Bedford, and j. Clarence
Davies, OF Arcols, who will leave the
clubhouse at 1850, almost five hours
after Douglas and his partner start.
