WESTERNERS FOR GOLF
CLASSIC AT OAKMONT
Last Barrier to Holding of
American Classic on Pitts
burgh Links, Players Think
BY SANDY McNIBL1Ck

Last opposition, officials believe, was re-
moved today to the holding uf the amateur
golf championship of the United states at
Oakmont near pittsburgh. this year when It
was announced that western delegates 10
.the annual meeting favored the Smoky city
course. The tourney was held at Merton
last season and was due In the West for
1917.
with the westerners favoring the holding
OF the championship in the far end Of the
state, it is a certainty. golfers feel that the
event viii be awarded to Oaltmont There
will be no opposition among Fasteners for
the links are naturally more accessible than
a course would be in Chicago or mayhup
In the shadow Of the Rockies. Added to
popular favor Ia the fact that the commit
tees at Oakmont are hot In pursuit of the
championship and are determined to get It..
This goes long way with the executive
committee OF the United states Golf Asso-
citation. which awards the American golf
classics since great favor is shown those
clubs which make n strong bid for various
events. The Oakmont club Is spending
more than $4,000 on the reconstruction Of
about dozen OF its holes and hopes to
have one of the couutrys finest links by
next September, when the national viii be
held
Howard Perrin. sole nominee for next
president of the L. S. q. A., Is very much
in favor Of Oakmont
at is beautiful course" he said re-
Gently and would make an elegant setting
for the national | am quite pleased that
there is such keen desire among golfers
to have the next championship there
virtually the only opposition to the hold
ing OF the amateur at Oakmont has been
the fact that it was held in the E.a9; last
year and that the two other American
classics, the open and the women's cham
pionships. have also been set for Pennsyl-
vana courses by those authorized to do the
selecting for the T. s c. \.
A committee of women golfers chose
Shawnee. at the Water Gap, and the Pro-
fesstonal Golfers Association of the United
states chose Whitemarsh. in this city, for
the open. If Whtemarsh makes de-
termlned bid for the open. it s likely that
all three will be held in Pennsylvania IN the
coming season, as early predicted in this
column
