To Make No Plea for
West Course or Short
er Play-100 Fine On
Public Links
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

TINE Golf Committee at Merton has re-
i volted against the general opinion that It
will enter suggestion with the United Golf
Association to use both the Merton courses
for the national championships, to be played
there In September, thus making IL possible
to shorten the number of days required.
Through a statement made by Robert
w Lesley, chairman of the Golf Committee
at Merton. and president Of the Golf Assoc
citation of Philadelphia, 1t is pointed out that
no such suggestion or request has been
made or will be made by Merton officials
TO the national golf body.
THE possession of two courses by the
Merton Cricket Club was an incident and
not a fact in It's selection for the national
tournament" said Chairman Lesley, and
all that Merton has in tile way of courses
clubhouses, hospitality and so forth, was in
the hands of the Officials of the u. S. G.. A.
But no suggestion In any way, shape or
form will be made TO the U. S. G.. A. as to
how they shall conduct their event upon
whole matter In the hands Of the proper
officials of the U. S. G. A."
Merton Members Like Plan
The agitation as to the use of the two
Merton courses in the national amateur
championship has given rise partly from
the enthusiasm over the plan by Merton
members themselves, who feel that the
sunset course Is as good a test of golf as
the east course. If two courses were used,
1t has been pointed out, 1t would be pos.
sible to start the tournament on Monday
instead of on Saturday, as heretofore.
The preliminary qualification round on
Saturday, which has always come in for
verbal assault by golfers, could be aban.
doned. with the large field divided over two
courses. The Saturday round is held to
narrow down the field.
According to the new plan, golfers could
arrive Saturday this year and have Sat
urday and Sunday to practice.
The west course at Merton is ac-
knowledged by all who have played 1t to be
as good a test of golf as its parent course,
though in all probability the tournament
would not have been awarded alone to the
newer course.
Local golfers who will compete In the
championships and who are not members of
Merton feel that the new plan has some
merit, but that the championship was
awarded to Merton with the understanding
that the east course alone would be used.
The Golf Committee of Merton is not ex-
pressing any opinion and Is conhning it's
activities entirely to making still more
splendid the east course The eighth hole
particularly has come in for attention and
will be a beauty when the new sod has
taken hold.
No golfers who played over the new pub.
lie course at Cobb's Creek yesterday would
admit that they had broken 100 for the Is
holes. The highest scorecard examined

PENN ATHLETES WIN
Capture Honors in Irish-American
Games in New York

NEW YORK May 31.-High winds and
numerous scratches in the medley relay
race robbed the Irish-Amerlcan Athletic
Clubs games at Celtic Park of keen COM
petition. Seven teams were named for the
medley race, but only two started. These
were the University of Pennsylvania and
the knights of st. Anthony. The race re-
suited in a hollow victory for the Pennsyl-
vaniars. In spite of the little handicap they
allowed their opponents the collegians took

victory certain. His unofficial time for the
$50 yards was l minute "a 1-5 seconds.
The only really exciting finish was wit
messed in the final heat of the 220-yard low
hurdle race. Jack Eller, of the Irish
Americans who started from scratch,
moved the spectators to applause when he
overhauled George Hughes, a clubmate
who had an allowance of 10 yards in the
final stride. Patrick Ryan, holder of the
worlds record, showed that he is In fine
form by winning the 16-pound hammer
event from scratch with throw of 176 feet
81s inches, and Patrick Mcdonald, the
champion, came through the shot-puttng
contest with flying colors.
