and with the entrance money donated
to the Fed Cross or some other war
fund. With reference TO the Suburban
Cup series the committee felt there was
no reason why these friendly matches
should be dropped, and the suggestion
was that these matches be held this
year as usual
Henry Strouse. of Philmont, who has
acted for several years as chairman of
a committee in charge of the schedule
of the suburban Cup matches, suggested
that the secretary be asked to request
each club interested to send delegate
to meet some time before February 20
and discuss the whole question With
these delegates will meet the committee
of last year, consisting of Mr.. Strouse,
f. s. Thorpe. of Frankford. and j. An
derson Ross, of Bala. Instead of teams
of fourteen men. It is probable that the
teams will consist this year of ten men.
There will he two big days for the
Red Cross, the Fourth of July. which
has been set aside as the Liberty Day

PHILA. GOLF ASSOCIATION VOTES
TO HOLD TOURNAMENTS, BUT NO
TITLES WILL BE GIVEN THIS YEAR
Two Events Are Dropped, but Rest Will Be
Played-MemorialD Day and Fourth of July
Set Aside as Red Cross Days
BY PETER PUTTER

TNTIE Golf Association of Philadel-
l. phia will hold golf tournaments as
usual his year, but none of them will be
title events. Only two of the regular
events, the interClub championship and
the dinner tournament have been cut off
the big schedule. The first was dropped
because of the lack of interest last year
the second because of the feeling that
such a tournament would not 60 well in
connection with the demand for tho con-
servation of food. Twenty-Five of the
thirty-two clubs forming the association
were represented by delegates, a remark
ably fine showing in view of the weather
conditions last night.
It will be a patriotic year of golf Not
only will the entry fees in the various
events go to the Red Cross. but two days
will be set aside as Red Cross days, Me-
mortal Day and the Fourth of July The
clubs will hold any sort of tournament
they please on those days but the en-
trance money will be given to the Red
Cross. and where no entrance fec Is
charged the clubs will be asked TO tax
each player a dollar for the Red Cross.
The meeting was held in the Bellevue
Stratford. and IL there was any sign
of a protest against the possible drop
ping Of the tournament events the
opening remarks of the president. Robert
w. Lesley, expressing the thoughts and
sentiments OF the executive committee,
dispclled all this. 1t was very peace
full meeting and the delegates were evil
IDENTIFY well pleased with the attitude of
the executive committee with reference
to tournament play.

BASEBALL LEAK PEEVES
GENIAL BAN JOHNSON

Ban B. Johnson, president of the
American League. is peeved because
somebody gave out the fact that the
schedule makers had decided the four
Eastern teams were to begin playing
ball -on April Is, while the Western
teams remain idle till the next day.
The publicity given the departure from
former schedules was annoying. and Mr..
johnson said in Chicago yesterday:
That wasn't ready for the public and
I was surprised to read it in the papers.
Dreyfuss, Heydler. Harridge and myself
finished the drafting of the dates in
Pittsburgh late in the afternoon. We
saw no press representative. but the next
morning the news was printed. There
was leak somewhere. We may switch
