GOLF OFFICIALS CALL OFF
NTERCLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
Lack Of Interest Responsible for the
Decision of Executive
Committee

The interclub championship under the
auspices of the Golf Association of Phtla-
delphia, which was to have been held to-
morrow and Wednesday at the Huntingdon
Valley Country Club, has been called off by
the executive committee of that association.
For the last twenty years this has been one
Of the most important events on the golf
schedule, having as participants the leading
golfers Of Philadelphia. For the great ma
jorty Of these years the event has been won
by the Huntingdon Valley Country Club
The qualification round was played this
year in June and only four teams entered,
the Country Club not putting team in the
field. The four teams whose seven lowest
men turn in the lowest aggregate scores
qualify for the final matches, but the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club only had six men turn
in cards The others who qualified were the
Huntingdon Valley, Merton and Aronimink
clubs
Earlier In the season at a meeting held
by the presidents of the thirty-one clubs
comprising the Golf Association, the ex-
ecutve committee was empowered to call
on any and all events. Inasmuch as no
championships are being awarded this year
and the resultant lack Of interest It was
thought best to do awav with the event.

putting was AS per cent of the game l
think il probably is about that proportion
but surely It was not the idea of the old
scotch golfers that such should be the
case. Very likely however, larger cups
would permit occasional approach puts to
be holed, and badly hit shots would go in
and scores in the sixties would be easily
possible
1t would eliminate the accuracy of the
putting stroke, and give more Importance

Of the game II would make the play OF
the best golfers and would take away the
really beautiful silence that enveops the

iightful uncertainty Of the game-the gal

the inferior player who has developed un-
expectedly a wonderful putting streak and
other happenings Of like nature would all

Same Remnrks In the Premium on Puttinq

triumph over the cruel fates OF the put
ting green. What could we golfers talk
about-and golf Is a very conversational
game when a round is once onded-tf
the strange the freakish happenings on the
putting green were taken from us? The
missing Of short puts has driven many
man to a condition bordering on insanity
and It has given me many deep wound,
but 1 must confess that II adds to the in
terest of the game. The picture of a man
measuring a missed two-fOOt putt is full of
meaning.
These facts being as they are, let us
first try to perfect our putting, for it is a
part Of the game. II is not the whole
thing, however, for golf is a big game
played over long stretch OF country with
many big masculine strokes, and the little
performances on the putting green are only
a part of 1t.
Decreasing Greens Space
For that reason have thought the un-
fair advantage given so frequently to the
putter might be remedied by decreasing the
size of the green's If they were made. say,
twenty feet square (of course no really
square lines are seen on modern golf
course) the second shot, the "cut" and
push shots would increase in proportion,
and the long, sxty-foot snaky puts from
the edge of the green would disappear.
This would be calculated to bring about
more nearly fair condition than the en-
largement of the cup and would not destroy
the ancient ideas of the game.
1t would demand extra care Of the
ground in front of the green, but would
cut down the expense of the greens, an
expense that has been growing rapidly In
proportion to the generosity Of their size.
l love the old game, just as 1t was handed
down. and l hope some time to be beaten
by a golfer who does not win his match on
the putting green. Clock golf Is interest
lag, so is croquet, but neither call in play
the big strokes of the game.
