Chicago, May 14.-Francis Oui1net, former national amateur and open golf champion, rated by the United States Golf Association as a profes- sfonal, today accepted an invitation of the Western Golf Association to compete as an amateur in the anna teur champion tournament at Nidloth- ian Country club, Chicago, July g to A. The invitation to Ouimet was ex- tended by unanimous vote of the as- sociation's board of directors after. the board had adopted a new def1ni- ton of an amateur, ignoring the rul- ing of the United States Golf Asso- citation.
 The western association, which has more active members than any other golf organization in the world, com prising 243 clubs west of Pittsburgh and north of the Ohio river, limits en- tries to its championship meets to per sons belonging to member clubs of the association, except by invitation.
 MT. Ouimet, who first gained fame throughout the golfng world by snatching the 1913 nationai open championship from Harry Vardon and Edward Ray at Boston, in replying to the invitation, asserted that he had refradned from competing in profes- sionali toudnaments.
