MORE TEAM MATCHES
IS LATEST PROPOSITION
Golfers to Carry Out Reneft Events
on Large Scale East and
West This Season.

The persistent and successful en-
ers to raise funds for war relief So
cieties through individual exhibition
matches and in four-hail contests have
prompted the golfers of the country
to plan benefits on an even greater
scale for the coming season. Most of
the players who gave their time and
energy will be just as ready to help
again. and in this promise of co-opera-
tion many Of the leaders are planning
innovations Of q nature expected to
attract even greater crowds than saw
way raise larger amount for the
Red Cross funds.
With sergt Francis Quimet at Camp
Devens and several other golfers of
note in the National Army and sta
toned at Aver. Mass, oficials Of the
Massachusetts Golf Association have
anticipated a series Of team matches
in which the soldier teams will be
called upon to play a team of civilians.
The idea originated In Boston. and II
was first contemplated only to arrange
ers and the Camp Devens team. but the
idea has been SO universally accepted
that It Ia likely that district teams
will be formed the country over and
number of matches played.
Learn Game Quickly.
In the south John Brsdemus, former
" golf Instructor at Tome School, has
the Army cantonments, and reports
from him have IL that the so1diera and
officers are picking up the game quick
ly. Also he reports that there are sew
eral players who have made mark in
the golf world. It 10 possible that
Bredemus can form q team Of ten
players for matchea.
The west has several Army canton
ments which house any number OF
star players, among them Lieut.. Robert
Lieut.. Gardner should be willing to get
together q team to meet the Camp
Devens team. II only for the sport Of
the afatr. II such match were ar
ranged 1t undoubtedly would bring
sergt ouimet and Lieut. Gardner to-
gether In one Of the matches and
should provide = treat at golf seldom
seen.
Boston has gone ahead with tho idea
and through John n. Sullivan. jr.. part
goods store. has issued a challenge 70
Camp Devans for q ten-man team
match. Besides Ouimet At the camp,
there arc such we'll known players al
Lisuts. n. R Gorton and Herbert
Jaques, 9er&ts. Cria Dunphy, Prank Mo-
Namara and Al McIntyrA and others OF
slightly lesser renown on the links.
Frank MoNamara Is q brother Of Tom
McNamara, both Of whom ara listed
among the leading professionals OF the
country

Long. 6ullivenss plan is to play the
match some time IN April. either at
Woodland or Belmont Springs. and the
pairinss would be arranged 30 that
against each other. Just which one of
the lot would be opposed to ouimst 10
not made known by Sullivan. sinca he
hardly knows any Boston amateur who
measures up to the ability of the young
sergeant who oame to Baltusro1 and
made five successive brides on that
unusually difficult course.
SerGt. Ouimet already has begun to
feel the call of the links. according to
Sullivan. who announces that outmet
only recently wrote for q mashie and
ntblick. Outmet writes that 1t is possi-
BILE to get considerable practice over
the open fields about Camp Devens. The
warm weather has aroused the golf
fever among the aoldier golfers at Camp
Devens, and 1t Is certain that there will
be q lot Of activity thNreRbouts shortly.
