FEW GOLFERS IN SOUTH

ers Of North From Making
Trip to Dixie.

In looking into the future. SO far as
golf is concerned. one finds its devotees
divided into two classes. the optimist
and the pessimist. Taking the brighter
view there are those who insist that
this winter in the south will be not only
normal but even ahead of last, and they
cite as certain signs the overfiowing
condition of the hotels, or rather the
extremely heavy advance reservation
lists.
At Palm Beach and Belleair indica-
tions are that unless prospective tourists
have already secured accommodations it
will be next to impossible for them to
spend any time there this winter.
To discount that rosy view it has
been claimed that even though the ad-
vance bookings are heavy the class Of
hotel guests will be different than
formerly. In other words. in the place
of many golfers, who, for various rea-
sons, have refrained from taking their
usual winter outing. will be others Of
whom only a small percentage are
players.
whether they will satisfactorily take
the places of their predecessors is q
debafable question. One thing that has
initiated against successful southern
opening has been tho bad weather, the
kind thHt caused the postponement of
the Ehehurst tournament and kept

SENIOR GOLFERS TO PLAY.
Canada to Have Club With Age
Minimum Placed At Fifty Years.

NEW YORK. January 1.-THE popu-
larity Of the seniors golf tournaments in
the United States has led to a move
ment to form similar affair in Canada
and with this in view conference was
recently held in this city between W. n.
Baker. c. v. O., president of the Royal
Golf Club of Montreal: Ralph H. Reville.
editor Of the Canadian Golfer. and P. D.
Kingsley, Horace L. Hotchlxiss and Frank
Presbrey Of the Seniors Golf Association
Of the United States.
Because Of the relatively small number
OF clubs In Canada, it IL proposed to make
the minimum age in the Canadian associ-
alton fifty years instead OF fifty-fiye as it
Is in this country.
It is expected that the Canadian Or
ganization will be perfected in time to
noid the first seniors tournament during
the coming summer, and at the confer
ence referred to 1t was decided that it
would be a desirable thing to have an in
ternational team match each year be-
tween the two associations; the details Of
this 10 De arranged later.
AT a special meeting Of the committee
appointed to consider the holding of the
usual winter dinner of the Seniors Golf
association it was decided, after fun
conslderation Of the subject. that it
would be inadvisable to hold the dinner
this winter In view Of the Conditions
brought about by the war.

naval stations in this relay event and

iously awaited.
