Line Up Cup Team.

ward the Lesley cup matches on the ma
tional links on Friday and Saturday of
next week will be staged the latter part
of the current week. With a view to
sorting out the field Of eligfbles. q num-
Der Of local topliners have been invited
by Findlay s. Douglas, captain of the
team, and Cornelius J, Sullivan. presl-
dent'of the Metropolitan Golf Associa-
ton. to journey down TO the National
links for trial rounds on Saturday and
Sunday.
Among those invited to take part in
this trial test are Oswald Kirkby, Engle-
wood. Metropolitan champion: Max r.
Marston, e. NJ. Wild and A. F. Kramer,
Baltusrol; William ReelSie, Upper Mont
clair d. E Sawyer. John G. Anderson,
q. l.. Conley. Siwanoy: J. N. Stearns,
Jr, and Gardiner W. White, Nassau; A.
l.. Walker. Richmond County, and Jess
w. Sweetser, Ardsley. In addition to
these several others will probably be
included In the practice rounds.
According to report there is some
doubt as to whether or not Marston will
play with the New York team. He has
been a nonresident member of one or
more Philadelphia clubs for some years,
and is said to be making ready to move
to the Quaker City and engage in bust
ness there. Inasmuch as he has been
q resident of the metropolitan district
all season long, he will be urged to play
with the local team.
Penn Team strong.
The Pennsylvania team is looming
large for these matches. The Quakers
will surely have a high class representa-
ton here. Headed by Davy Heron, who
will doubtless play In first position on
the team. they can offer such a list as
the following: w. c, Frowncs, Jr.
George Hoffner. Bala Wood Plat, North
Hills; Norman Maxwell, Overlook I;
Paul Tewkesbury, Aronimink Eddie
Cleary, Bala; ]. B. Crookston. Stanton
Heights; George Small. York; Sidney
Sherwood, Merton; Pat Grant. Philadel-
phia Cricket, and others of but slightly
less ability. This array needs no COM
mendation- 1t has the class.
Incidentally, these matches will
doubtless bring together Champion S.
Davidson Heron and Oswald Kirkby.
BY queer kink of fate Kirkby failed
to qualify at Oakmont but there will be
no few here willing TO back the lanky
Jerseyman in his match against Heron
at the national. There is still a rather
pronounced disposition to have Davy's
performance verified before giving him
the full mead of a champion. and the
approaching matches will offer the first
opportunity for such.
Boston Is reported to be rather conn.,
dent of the success OF the Massachusetts
entry for this series. To be sure the
man who tackles Ouimet will have a
fine fuzzy coated pill to swallow II
Francis Is on his game, and Jesse Gull
ford will also have to be reckoned with,
considering his victory in the Massachu-
sets open. Ray Gorton of Brae Burn
is another first class player. Other
probabilities for the Massachusetts,
team are r. w. Brown. w. C. Chick,
Tom Claim, Parker w. whittemore and
B. w. Estabrook, all OF the Country
Club at Brookline; Fred Wright, Albe-
marie; Larry Patton. Homestead, and
C. NJ. Amory Of Essex County.
Several local professionals will pay a
visit to the Yahnundasis Club at Utica
to-day to compete in an open tourney.
Among the golfers who will compete are
Jim Barnes. Tom Boyd. Irving Springer
and Harry Hampton. The frst prize viii
be worth $500.
