Horace f. Smith of Nashville, presi-
and member of the board of direc-

some time ago announced plan for
the organization of a new national
body. Immediately after this state
ment. one OF the officials of the United
States Golf Association. when inter-
viewed on the topic. said that in his
opinion new association would be
largely a matter of personal popularity,
and that he did not believe any man in
the world of American golf was strong
enough to persuade the thinking golf
ers of the country to break away from
the national body. and furthermore,
provided a man was found with suffi-
cient influence to further an attempt
at secession. he would not care to go
on record as the leader of such a
movement.

meeting of the w. G. A. on motion by
Charles w. Gordon of st. Paul. that
the action of the board of directors
in amending the bylaws be approved
