GOLF HEADS PLAN
FOR 1919SEASON
Leading Associations in
This Country and Canada
Arranging Journeys
WESTERNERS TAKE LEAD
By CHARLES. sCHICk" EVANS


Now that the world war has been
handed over to the historians for
proper chronicling, reconstruction Is the
thought uppermost in the minds of all
of us. The Reorganization Of business
in such way as to absorb readily the
millions who lay aside the rifle and
take UP the pursuits of peace commands
I the best thought and attention Of the
I, leaders in every line Of human endeavor.
It is inevitable that in this process Of
I Reconstruction sport-lovers' minds turn
( TO the regeneration of their favorite
pastime.
Foremost In the fields of sports golf
associations throughout the States and
Canada already are laying their plans
for the 1919 season. Tho championship
tournaments, which seem only distant
memory, loom again as the climax to
great season of sport following the
break.
Much Activity
While championship matches have
been suspended thcrc has been great golf
activity on the part of noted players
whose call to the colors has not come
] would hesitate to state how many
thousands of dollars have been raised
for charitable enterprises, such as the
Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., the Salvation
Army, etc, but the amount must run
into astonishingly large figures
One Of the interesting developments Of
the last two years has been the numSer
of young players of seventeen. eighteen
and nineteen years of age who have
come into tho limelight. Possibly this
development has been due to the absence
of many other stars in service. l am
more inclined to think, however, that
youngsters who have shown SO much
promise in the last two summers have
won their recognition solely through
merit and must be counted upon as fac
tors in all the tournaments TO be played
in the coming summer.
Western Golfers Lead
The Western Golf Association has
taken the lead in mapping out its af-
fairs for 1919. Their wartime arrange
,nent has been abandoned, and amateur,
open and Junior championships will be
resumed.
Players will rejoice in this informa-
ton. and clubs desirous of bidding for
any Of these events should forward their
L Applications. Inc laSt "cSNeIll dlilttteui
event was held at the Midlothian Club
in 1917, and Francis Oumet was the
winner. The open event was held at
Westmoreland. and Tom Barnes re-
turned the winner. while the Junior
event went to +. J. Wright, of Boston.
/, All clubs should start their reorgani-
zation plans now. l look forward to
seeing the coming summer show an
astonishing increase in the number Of
golf players and competition is going to
be keen at all events.

But our apartment is jammed
against a brick wall, and it's been
hotter than hates. What we're after is
more air. even if we have to take less
style with it"
Although their apartment had
been very warm this summer it was
an excellent house and beautifully
appointed and finished. And Helen
wanted to stay-she shrank from the
thought of leaving To her it meant
SO much more than just IAN apart
ment.' 1t was here where Winifred
had been born-no other place could
ever mean so much.
They went from place to place
until Helen was almost worn out.
But they could find nothing within
their price that was anyways near
as attractive as their own apartment.
Dear. I'm so tired" said Helen
finally. "I don't believe can do
any more today"
Nonsense, we haven't done much.
You'll have plenty of time to rest.

plot it is shawn that the draft has
