Metropolitan H. u Championship Meet Next Saturday Has Big Local Entry
Anderson Offers Plan
To Send Golfers Abroad
Would Start Campaign to Raise Popular Subscription
From Golfers All Over the Country Prominent
Enthusiast May Garry Party Over
BY JOHN @. ANDERSON.

Recent developments in golhng circles
point to the sending over to Great Bril-
tain next year a small group OF pro-
fessionals whose expenses will be paid
by several wealthy men. This was pre-
dicted In these columns some few weeks
ago, and since that time we have re-
coived many letters from golfers all over
the country saying that they would like
to have a share in the undertaking and
that they would appreciate the oppor-
tunlty of giving five or ten dollar bill
to go toward the amount necessary to
have the professionals take part In the
open title play of the British Isles.
The point seems we'll taken, and we
believe that there Is presented to some
golfing publication or newspaper a
chance to help the game Of golf In this
country. Across the water the NotUs OF
tho World gives around $500 for a match
play event, and the Sphere and Taller
give bountiful prizes as well, with the
Golf illustrated Vase of solid gold TAX
ing the palm as the costliest Of all
trophies donated anywhere.
II is a difficult matter for a club to
arouse interest in their own pro among
rival clubs. But 1t is a simple matter
for everybody to enthuse over a golfer

can be a success only II the golfers OF
each club pay a dollar or more.
There IN not n shadow Of doubt that II
$4,000 was needed and n metropolitan
daily asked for subscriptions, with the
assurance that the money would attract
the greatest golfers in the world, that
this sum would be oversubscribed. This
would happen because the American
golfer Is keen to see America at the very
top of the heap in golf as II Is In many
lines of sport. II large sums OF money
are needed they can be secured. That is
certain.
Want TO Win Abroad.
But Americans feel that to win in
Great Britain is worth much more from
a sporting standpoint. For this reason
there has been much active discussion
by several wealthy golfers. We would
like to see every club in the country send
sum, even Of only IS, so that there
would be national feeling of partici-
patton.
We never expect that golf will OBJ
tain a hold on the people that baseball
has or that II can ever hope to attain
first place as a national sport But we
do believe that there are more people
playing the game right now than are
actively playing baseball. that the army

total In the country OF over $4,000, 900

baseball undoubtedly. Golf then has
another thousand clubs OF lesser valu-
alton to throw into the scale. It is a
great big game and a great big series
OF Investments, and the American golfer
to-day places the champion upon a
higher pedestal than ever.
1t has taken long time for this
spirit to develop. 1t was something al
together new. just as the game. But
now that It has arrived. 1t Is plain to
see that there is keen desire for world
supremacy. There seems to be a chance,
too. with Hagen as the headliner and
other homebreds as candidates. But
since there is a manifest desire on the
part of the golfers all over the land.
