| The general understanding just now
is that the Schenectady putter will not
be used. This club is under the bar
in Canada. While the Royal anadiar
| Golf Association, Which has sanctioned
the approaching matches, has not ruled
against this club for these contests senti'
| ment seems general that the rules OF
that organization should be observed
by the visiting players. Several mem

The Canucks expect to muster up

highly interesting for the invaders.

hundred-odd players landed n on eithe

the field in qualifying it may be stated
that there were fifteen players below

The course as played measured GA
yards.

Indications are that a good field will
take part. Phil Carter is expected T.
make his first appearance since his re

that young Jesse Sweetser, who spran
