THE open championship OF the United
i States Golf Association will be staged
in the Philadelphia district this year, ac-
cording to rumors that are being waited
about the golf Rialto. Whitemarsh was pre-
pared to serve al host to the big event. ana
its representatives attending the annual
meeting of the L. S. G. A. last winter MADE
a strong bid for the classic. This invita-
tlon had the backing OF the entire district
and the sanction Of the pros themselves.
According TO rotation, the open was due
to be held in the Philadelphia district, and
the Chestnut Hill course was best fitted to
stage the event.
II happened that the meeting awarded the
two big amateur championships before the
matter of the open was taken up. oak
mont Country Club, Of Pittsburgh, carried
the mems event, and the Shawnee Country
Club was granted the women's champion
ship. Consequently, when the awarding Of
the open was reached the delegates baked
at the idea OF Pennsylvania serving as
the battle ground for all of the big title
Tits, and as n result the third champion
ship was consigned TO the Brae Burn Coun-
try Club, Of West Newton, Mass.
In view Of the war conditions, however,
and for other reasons, perhaps, the Brae
Burn organization has felt called upon to
reject the big meeting awarded them. With
the New England club turning down the
open at this late date, Whitemarsh may be
the scene of the event. Last November
the pros selected Whitemarsh as the first
choice for the tournament course. The
United States Golf Association had re-
quested the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton of America TO sound out its members
as to where the championship should be

Mecca for Hawaiians as It Is for
Americans the world over"
Minister Died IN East Room.
The only Ddden death that ever
occurred in the big East Room OF the
White House was that Of a Hawaiian
citizen. He was Elish II. Allen, who
had long been the Hawaiian minister
to Washington. In fact, he was the
dean of the diplomatic corps in WASH
lngton because of his long service. 4
New Year reception was being held
by President Harrison in the White
House and Mr.. Allen, along with
other ministers, was present. Sud
denly he reeled and fell dead in the
midst OF the gay throng.
A prominent newspaper man lost his
Job as a result Of the accident. He had
been assigned by a Washington paper
to cover the reception. He had been to
many others before. It WAS the same
old story to him. The music. the hand
somely dressed women. the decorations,
the prominent ladies receiving, the hand
shaking OF the thousands Of visitors.
Just the same thing from year to year.
So he wrote his story the night before
and left 1t with friend to be sent down
during the reception while he went on
to play poker with friends. He did not
learn Of the sudden death OF the min
lister until his paper came out that after
noon with the story. A Sub" reporter
from the paper. now its managing edi-
tor, happened to be present. and saved
his publication from being scooped.
