Metropolitan Association
Re-elects Its Officers
Plans Play Suggested

The annual meeting Of the Metro
politan Golf Association was held last
evening at the Office of the president
of the association, Cornelius J. Sulli-
van, OF 81 Broadway There are eighty
eight clubs in the organization, and
while many Of them were not repre-
sented, there was a very fine attend
ence from many of the leading clubs.
1t was understood prior to the meet
ing that the former officers, who had
been recommended by the nominating
committee, would be reelected. and
they were unanimously.
The matter in which they we're most
interested was the resumption of the
annual championships, and that, like
wise, was the unanimous decision of
the assemblagc. The same clubs to
which the events were awarded in 1917,
when the championships were called
off on account Of the war, had repre-
sentatives there to state that their
clubs were anxious for the events, and
the same were awarded TO those clubs
without single other club putting in
q claim.
The amateur championship will
therefore go to the Brooklawn COun-
try Club, of Bridgeport the open
Country Club, and the junior cham
pionship to the Siwanoy Country Club.
1t was announced that the clubs de-
sirous of resuming their tournaments
could do so by making application
to the secretary for dates. and they
would be granted as in former years
first come first served. Joseph Byrne,
one Of the Deal Golf and Country Club
delegates, said that Deal will unques-
tionably hold its annual tournament
next season.
Suggest New Plan
It was suggested by the Inwood
Country Club delegate that the asso-
citation adopt plan on the line Of hold
ing one-day tournaments, the same as
the Massachusetts Golf Association, as
there is scarcely over dozen three
day tournaments hold by the clubs ir
the metropolitan district, while the
Boston district has had as high as for
ty-3our one-day tournaments in sea
son, and they were all we'll attended
as it is much easier for a man to spare
ono day from his business in a week
than three days. That, however is 4
matter entirely in tho hands Of the
clubs applying for dates. 1t Is moro
than likoly that the Inwood club viii
start tho ball rolling by giving ono.
day tournament, and If 1t proves pop.
ular It will doubtless be takon up BY
many Of the other clubs. as 1t Is az
oxcsllent chance for golfers to visit
many different courses during the
season.
