North Shore Has Primary Claim On Open Tourna- ment and Siwanoy On the Junior - Youngsters Will Be Given More Attention Than They Received Hith- erto.

New York. Jan. 1-This is the time Of the wear when the Metropolitan Golf association generally turns it's attention toward the new season. The latter part of December or early in January usually sees the executive board get together and apppint com mittees, but because there will be no championship tournaments the chances are that the duties of the committees vii be light. Regarding tournaments, the championships when held will be allowed to go to the clubs which have already been granted these attrac- tons. Brooklawn has first claim on the amateur. North Shore on the open and Siwanoy on the junior
 An official of the Metropolitan Golf association said recently that no word has as vet been heard from Siwanoy with regard to the junior meeting, but that in the event of the Mount Vernon organization not caring to handle the affair the Richmon County Country club would be glad to enter tain the youngsters. Last season the JNll4Ol WSIc LII dCllCdny ILG OILY SoI of golfers who were encouraged to maintain the, competitive side. AL though both the Metropolitan and Massachusetts associations called off their junior tournaments, it is felt now. however. that in view of a par tial changing of sentiment the "Met' body is likely to encourage a meeting among the Junior members.
 I It is from the boys of today that the chamDlons of tomorrow spring, and unless the lads are given proper incentive there will soon be dearth of material here. as is the case in the British Isles. It has never been GUS tomary in England to provide for the younger element. and that may ac- count for the fact that the champions and the plus men over there rarely are developed until long past the 'Nkid" age. The one bright exception was A. G. Barry. a collegian 20 years old, who won the amateur crown at Prestwick in 1905.
 On the other hand. a goodly portion of the amateur championship winners in this country have either been col legians or young players. This has been more DdTIlCuldTlV so SlnC0 Cuo first promising lot of the younger school were developed, and began in 1902 when Louis James sprang a sur prise by winning at Glen View. Two wears later H. Chandler Egan, a stu dent at Harvard. won the amateur crown, and he repeated the following year. Then there was Robert Gard ner. who first won the national title while at Yale.
 Jerome Travers when he first won the U. s. G. A amateur at Euclid iE 1907 was only 21 while Francis Oui- met had not reached his majority when he eclisped Vardon and Ray ir that memorable playof of the na- tional open at Brookline. Charles Evans. Jr. won many honors as g

 Explaining this, MT. Camp says:
 'In san editorial conference 1t was determined that out of deference to conditions prevailing in this country the annual selection of the all-Ameri- ca team would be omitted. The writer's notes have been made, how ever, and it may be that some time in the future it will seem proper to fill up the hiatus in a series of all-Ameri- ca. teams selected annually since 1SS9."
 MT. Camps all-America service team follows:
 Ends-Rasnussen Nebraska and Camp Grant and Gardiner, Carlisle and Camp Custer.
 TackIes-Beckett, Oregon and Mare Island and West Colgate and Camp Dix.

CUT OUT POLITICS
 MYRICK'S ADVICE

New York, Jan. 1-"Pofitics should not play any part in tennis affairs in this period of war stress" said Julian S Myrick, Acting President of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, yesterday in commenting cn reports of keen rivalry for the Presidency of the association. He advocates, in statement which he issued, that the association should un- animously support the candidate for President who is selected by the Nom- mating Committee and says that he will not allow his own name to cone before the annual meeting in Febru- ary in any other way. Attention is called to the fact that the turbulent times require that all should bend their energies to making the season of 1918 a success, and that personal prejudices should not be allowed to interfere with the good of the asso- citation.

New Haven. Newport and Boston.
 The tug of war with ten men teams is expected to draw large entries from forts and naval stations about New York. for competition in this sport is keen. The conditions of the Mellrise tug of war will be as near as practicable to the "dirt pulp prevail ing in military camps. Wooden cleats, one inch in thickness. will be nailed securely. one foot apart. to the floor, so that the men may pull in a stand- ing position. Each side will be per mitted to have what is commonly known as a "whipper" to direct the pulling.
