Compromise May Set Maximum Age
for Conservation at 30 Years.

Two meetings yesterday of the SEN
ate and House conferees on the army
draft bill failed to bring an agree
ment on any of the important differ
ences. The conferees discussed briefly
the maximum age for conScription,
fixed in the House bill at forty and in
the Senate bill at twenty-seven years.

promise making the maximum not over
thirty years eventually will be reached.

TUCKERMAN TO HEAD
GOLF ASSOCIATION
Green Spring Valley Club Elected to
Membership in Middle Atlantic.

The annual meeting Of the Middle At
iantic Golf Association was held In the
cabinet room of the New willard last
nIcht and officers elected and plans for
1917 made.
One OF the most important features was
the admission Of the Green Spring Valley
Hunt Club OF Baltimore, to membership
| In the association. This organization has
In the past been primarily a hunt club.
but II has recently added q very good
nine-hole course and expects to branch
out In golf and to soon enlarge its course
to the regulation size.
The Middle Atlantic championship was
awarded to the Chevy Chase Club and IL
VIII be played there probably on June !,
8 and 0.
owing the usual custom, the presI-
dency went with the title event and
Walter Tuckerman was given that ONCE.
The invitation Of the MARYLAND Country
Club. for the 1918 event, was accepted,
which meant that one Of its members was
elected vice president, the honor going
to r. Lee Slingluf. Alpheus Winter of
the Columbia Country Club, was elected
! secretary; Yates Penniman, of the Balti-
more Country Club, treasurer, and F. J.
ID. MacKay, OF the Country Club Of Vir-
ginia, the other member Of the executive
committee
A number of questions arose regarding
the team championships. II was decided
to eliminate the prize for the team Of
five men making the best aggregate scores
in the qualifying round OF the regular
title event as II was decided that there
was no reason for mixing up a team
event in the individual tourney.
After considerable discussion as to
whether the holding of the team
, championship matches was really
worth while. IL was decided that
enough interest was taken to justify
this event for another year and II
will be played under the same condi-
. tions as last year at a time and place
to be decided upon by the executive
committee. 1t was also decided that
in the future no substitutions will be
allowed during any eighteen-hole
match in this event. but may be al
| lowed at the beginning of or between
! rounds in such matches. This came
up from the fact that last year a
player in one of the matches played
nine holes and was called away and
! another player finished the last nine
holes Sufficient money was appropri-
ated for prizes for both Of the title
events
