On the East Lake course in Atlanta

that any of the topnotchers from this

dates selected for this tournament ara
rather untimely. In addition to the com
petition encountered in the Massachu.
sets open. the Professional Golfers As
sociation tournament will start at the
Engineers Club next week. This means
that any entrant in this event who takes
a whirl at the Atlanta tournament will
have to give over practically two whole
weeks in a row to the two events.
BOyd Playing Well.
The manner in which Tom Boyd, Fox
Hills professional. is clicking. of low
scores these days indicates that he will
cut quite a figure in the professional
tournament at the Engineers next week
He is slipping below 20 on his home
/, course right along. Saturday, in com.
II pany with A. c. Perry and w. R. Barn
hill, he registered 81. Had he been
able to get down an eight foot putt OF
the home green he would have equalled
the course record of &c.
The satisfaction of holng out in one
fell to the lot OF w. c. Heath at Shacka'
maxon a short time ago. Playing around
with C. w. Baker of Newark Heath had
his tee shot on the fifth hole, distance
1872 yards, roll In for one. Naturally
enough some people will aver that It
was nothing more than an accident
Following the precedent OF the Mass
chusetts State Golf Association, the New
Jersey State Golf Association is now
considering a caddle tournament. Why
rot a caddie tournament under tbs
auspices of the Metropolitan Golf Assn
citation? Properly handled, with re-
} stricted entry list, such a tournament
would no doubt prove highly Interest
ing affair.
