AMATEUR AND PRO GOLFERS WILL
AID WESTERN GOLF ASSOCIATION
IN HELPING BIG WAR CHARITIES
Association Will Have Charge of Matches and
Will Assign Players to Clubs-Without
Organization $4,000 Raised Last Year
BY CHARLES CChick) EVANS. Jr.

THE Western Golf Association will
l. conduct no championship events this
year Last season, in spite of our coun-
try's declaration Of war, the two major
western competitions were held and with
a very successful attendance, for the
hugo net of war had not then gathered
in 50 many Of the players. With the
passage of year. however everything
has changed and a large number of the
leading players arc now either IN the
service or to he called TO it, and u
western championship played under such
conditions would entirely lack its repre-
sentative character.
But even in wartime. perhaps more
than ever at such a time, people need
their outdoor sports and rccreatons -
something TO keep tho body fit and a
healthy interest i'm the happier side of
life. Sports must not bc forgotten, but
in every imaginable way they must be
made subservient to tho all-important
work of the present time.

Last year a few golfers with no or
gaui2aton enabled the clubs to collect
more than $4,000. This year it is pro-
posed that the Western Golf Association
take charge of the matches, assigning
dates and players to all clubs that wish
such exhibitions. The clubs. before
players ara assigned, will guarantee
a certain amount which they will raise
as they see fit. This amount is to bC
paid in TO the local Red Cross. or any
