Among the late golfing events for this
district will be an invitation AFFAIR an
nounced for the Greenwich Country Club
in mid-October. This tournament will
be held October 1918, and will doubt
less attract a good field OF New York
stars. The club has been ably repre-
sented in tournaments hereabout all
season long by such players as Henry
]. Topping. Hamilton X. Kerr, Sam J.
Graham. c. e. Van Vleeck. Jr.. and
others.
The victory of Emmett French in the
Philadelphia open tournament Is a pop
ular one with golfers. both professional
and amateur. who know the York pro
fessional. French is quiet, unassumins
chap, who has developed his game
through careful study of the play OF
notable opponents of the game since he
was a youngster. All season long he
has been hanging well up around the top
In open tournaments. The Philadelphia
field was hardly-a representative one,
but 1t included a number OF high class
players, both professional and amateur.
French's victory will no doubt add fur
Their confidence to his play in future
events. He will play in the professional
tournament at the Engineers next week.

In re Oakmont Tourney.

Discussions here and there as to
whether or not the results in the Oak
mont tournament prove that Travers,
Ouimet, Evans and other well known
stars have gone back offer little II any
grounds in support of such contention.
In the case of Travers, 1t is clear that he
was considerably or his game. He played
but little tournament golf this season
and has failed to display his skill OF
former years. But the cases OF Ouimet
and Evans prove nothing.
1t is quite possible that Evans might
have reversed the decision on Oulmet
two or three days or a week later. Also
were either of the two to meet Woody
Plat any time soon the Philadelphia
would be on the long end of any betting
About the only conclusive evidence that
the Oakmont tournament offers is the
fact that the field OF first class players is
growing rapidly. and that henceforth
each succeeding season is likely to make
the task of naming the winner more and
more difficult and complicated.

siastic yachtsmen In the club. Then
came II. Anderson's Gardina, followed
by r. J. Haslinger's Kodak. The condi-
tions were unusual. The committee
picked seven courses and allowed the
shippers to make their own choice. 1t
gave them an opportunity to test their
navigation ability and their knowledge
OF the tides In Long Island Sound.
The yachts were sent away on their
handicap times, a method of starting
that is becoming quite popular with mo-
tor boatmen. The first prize was a
handsome cup offered by Arthur McAiee-

built this year for the yachtsmep who
race on Jamaica Bay, was raced for the
first time this season over the course OF
the Motor Boat Club of Jamaica Bay
yesterday. Although a dozen of the lit
tie cats have been ordered only seven
have been delivered and these had a
wonderfully interesting brush. The
boats have not as yet been named.
The winner yesterday was No, Z,
sailed by w. Suydam. The yacht is en-
rolled in the Rockaway Park Yacht
Club. No. z beat No. by 1 second
over a short course. The wind was
fresh and from the west by south.
The yachtsmen were so enthuhiastic
over the new boats that they are plan
ming to race them each week throughout
the month. Races may even be sailed
in October II the weather holds good
Yesterday the feet was well punched for
practically the whole voyage, only
breaking up when the little craft went
on the wind. They formed an excep.
tionally pretty picture as they started,
getting away well punched together.
Among the cabin catboats the winner
was Clara May. the property of W. End
Itch. Alert led home the open catboat
class. The winner in the open power
boat division was Isabel, the property
of c. Diffendail. Siren won among the
cabin cruisers. Sunnyside III. was the
first of the high speed boats to finish.
These boats were started on their ham
dicap time and the first across the finish

Coming Events.
ny INNS BROWN.

After full week of tournament mac
tivities things begin to pick UP smartly
again in golfing circles in the metro
rolitan district to-day. for rather lively
programme that will continue on practi-
cally uninterrupted until the end of the
local season. The rest Of the programme
includes quite a list of interesting
events. Among these are the Profess
sional Golfers Association tournament at
the Engineers Club next week. the
seniors tournament at Apawamis. the
Lesley cup matches at the National. in
vitation tournaments at Arcola and Mas
sau, the New Jersey Juniors tournament
at Essex County and others.
For women golfers next weeks tourna-
ments at Sleepy Hollow will be fol-
lowed by one dsy affairs at Westheld.
Apawamis and BaltusroL Then on Sep
TENDER 20 begins the national cham
pionship at Shawnee. This combination
provides a rather active programme for
women players for the next several
weeks.
To-day is of itself something of a red
letter day in the way of club affairs.
At several of the local clubs special one
day tournaments arc scheduled. Others
have appointed the day as the date for
qualifying in various club Journeys.
Nassau has thirty-six holes test for
two cups. the Presidents and Vice.
Presidents. Fox Hills will qualify
thirty-two players for the Prall cup.
Others have similar competitions on the
programme.
New Jersey Junior Tourney.
1t is expected that the New Jersey
Junior championship contest will bring to-
gether quite a collection of youthful club
swingers. Several of the better known
contestants in the Metropolitan Junior
title affair at Siwanoy several weeks ago
hailed from Jersey clubs. Practically
all of these, with others, will probably
be on hand. In order to permit any
youngsters who have been absent from
the homes for the last week or so time
to make their entries F. P. Holden, Jr.,
secretary of the New Jersey Golf Asso-
citation, has announced that entries will
be received UP until late Tuesday after
noon.
In addition to being first class golfer
George Laclsey, chairman OF the greens
committee at siwanoy, is a crafty bird
on the job of keeping the course gen.
orally in fine shape. In proof thereof
witness the time and labor saving device
employed in one instance on the Mount
Vernon course. Thanking the ninth green

Started This Afternoon
Cudgel in the Feature.

The Saratoga track having closed
on Saturday the racing scene will shift
back to this section this afternoon, when

day is not overstrong, It will bring out
some Of the stellar performers. In the

with 1872 pounds and is down to be OPP
posed by Corn Tassel, Valor, Lucullite
and War Cloud.

which suffered an unfortunate reverse
at Saratoga, will go in the Tomboy
to-day. She is asked TO carry 13O
pounds, which Is considerable burden for
a FLY.
The plant has been greatly improved
since the spring meeting. August Bel
mont, president of the association has
spared no expense to make the course
the most beautiful in America and COM
Portable for the patrons Of the sport
The grand stands seating capacity has
been doubled and has been moved
twenty-five feet nearer to the track rails
