Crack Golfer Expected to Open Summer Campaign During
 Met" Amateur Tourney.
Bv THE LINKss1AN.

The revival of sthe metropolitan amateur golf championship tourna- ment is arousing considerable talk this year and the Brooklyn Country club next month will house practical Iy all of the best playere in the coun- try. There is every reason to be- Heve that Jerome D. Travers will open his summer campaign here dur ing that tournament, but even though he does not appear the rest of the field will be a fairly good one.
 Oswald Kirkby, now playing bril- liant golf, will be one of the leading contenders. and with Kirkby there will be Anderson. Sawyer, White. Hammer, Reelkie. Kerr. Topping, and possibly Marston. Marston still holds his BaItusrol membership and casts his vote at Cranford. Under these conditions 1t is hard to see why he isn't eligible to take part. despite ths fact that he spends part of his time in Philadelphia.
