QUEER CLUB NAMES.
Organizations Whose Titles Can Ee
Called JaWbreakers.

1t is to be regretted perhaps that
the naming of golf and country clubs
does not fall within the jurisdiction
of the golf associations. for they
might be able to put a damper on
club organizers who find a fiendish
delight in selecting a name unpro-
nounceable except to the initiated.
One of these jaw-breaking combIna
tions is to be found at Galesburs.

The club cognomen is Soangetaha-
At Utica there is the Yahnundahsis
Club. One of the latest of these ETY.
mological horrors is Tredyffrin, near
Paoli. Pa. If it keeps on. the roster of
American golf clubs will suggest a
list of Welsh and Indian places.
OF course, to those to the manner
born these names may be as easy as
holing two-inch putt. but to the
rank outsider they present severa
terrifying linguistic hazards Up

bic was found by strangers in pro

ganized in this country with William
national amateur champion. at it's
head and will be sent to Canada to
cross clubs with the Dominion's best
on June 2S. AS this team match un-
doubtedly will demand return
match, it is likely that series of
such contests may become a feature
of the golfing year. Surely no better
and more friendly competition could
, be held in any line of sport.
! 1t is probable that through the Of

course to the Canadian high commits

Will Improve Cours

In order to make ,Columbia's bid for
the championship a strong as pos
sibe. it is planned (and the plan has
already been approved by the board
of goVernors) to change number OF
bunkers and greens on the course
and to make it undeniably the peer
of any course south of Philadelphia.
DR.. Walter S. Harlan of the Columbia
Club. first vice president of the L. S.
G. A., has already shaped plans to
groom the course to such pitch OF
excellency that the committee of fhe
L. S. G. A. which awards the anna
teur championship. cannot afford to
overlook Columbia's claims.
The board of governors of the club
unanimously approved the plan to Sc
cure the event here in 1920 at re-
cent meeting and presented tangible
form of their approval in the shape
of pledges for money to spend in
getting the event. A general meeting
of the club will be called for night
this week to thoroughly accuaint the
full membership of the club with the
entire proposition.
DR.. Harlan feels that although the
Columbia course now is as good as
any in the south it can be greatly i'm
proved by certain changes. He has
engaged Robert White. president of
the Professional Golfers Association.
and Walter ]. Travis. leading course
architect to make these changes. AS
the course now stands. distance of
