tan players in that modest way typical
Of Greater New York have an idea that
they are going to have a picnic with the
local players. but there is every ndica-
tion that something In the way of
surprise is awaiting them. The impress
sion seems to be in the minds of the
visitors that there are relatively very
few good golfers in this city, who are
in the insurance business. but the team
which Philadelphia will put in the field
against the New Workers Wal very
probably disabusc the minds of the
Metropolitan players for all time to
come.
It will be a big day as well for the
other insurance men whose golf is such
that they have no opportunity to play on
the team. Most of the playing Will be
done in four-hall matches. and as there
are no gross prizes to be won and every
thing except the team matches is run on
a handicap basis. all the players Will
have chance at the prizes. Under the
old plan certain sum was charged for
the day whether the players stayed tC
dinner or not. The new plan is more
equitable. and II the players cannot stay
to dinner It will not be charged VI
against them.
Large Field Playing
The insurance men are chock full Of
enthusiasm and the field which will play
today will be large one. Whitemarsh
is an excellent test Of golf and there is
plenty of variety in the holes.
Both the New York and Philadelphia
insurance golfng associations are strong
both in numbers and quality of the golf
ers. Each association will hold two an
nual tournaments in the spring and fall
and when the spring tournament is held
in New York the Philadelphians will be
the guests This will also apply to th'
fall tournaments. and there will be an
exchange of courtesies between the or
ganizations.
II Is hoped to have two big team
matches each year, one over Philadel-
phia course and another over one of the
numerous Metropolitan links. Today Is
the opening clash between the two or.
ganizations. and next year some of tho
best players in the country will be in
these intercity tournaments.
