TIP FOR LOCALS
Teams OF Twelve to Tee OF in
Jersey--LocaIs See Chance
for Like Match
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

The first interdistrict meet for golf
ers will be played May 10 at the Engle-
wood Golf Club. Englewood. n. j.,
when New Jersey linksmen clash with
a team of New Workers.. With this an
nouncement. the proposed Philadelphia
versus New York match has again
come up for discussion.
The New York New Jersey match
will consist of twelve men to a side.
with foursomes in the morning and
singles in the afternoon.
This arrangement appeals to local
golfers for a proposed match.
The first idea here was to PLAY mixed
foursomes and singles between the men.
with the same between the women OF
the two cities. But the difficulties OF
fact that three women stars of the two
cities have gone abroad. practically
eliminate the chances Of the feminine
side Of the play.
Few Difficulties
There will be no difficulties in the way
of getting together strong mems
team here to compete on home and home
courses. and it is now suggested that
such a match be arranged with New
York to preccde the play for the LYNNE
wood Hall cup at Huntingdon Valley.
In this way n very strong field of New
Workers would be attracted. and besides
the interest in such a match. 1t would
provide fine chance to practice for the
cup tourney and would only use up one
day. whcih would be used anyhow for
practice by the entries in the Noble
tourney.
New York's team against the Jersey
golfers will be captained by Johnny
Anderson.
Those eligible for his team are
Lucius Walker. Jr., Intercollegiate
champion Gardiner White. Sam
Graham. Reggie Lewis. II. w. Max
well. Ned Sawyer, A. r. Reid. Jessie
Sweetser. Henry Topping. John NJ.
Ward and others.
Oswald Kirby. New Jersey leader,
will pick his team from Frank Dyer,
A. II. Fem, w. G. Reekie. A. Il. Kan
mer. Walter G. Pfail, II. Y. Barrow.
c. b. Eddy. Archie Graham. Pierre
Proal, Jerry Travers and others.
Attempts to arrange such a match
have been futile in the past, but this
year New York and New Jersey are
due to thrash out the rivalry that has
always existed between the two sec
tions.
IL tne mAJCH ~ SUCCESSFUL. tnere Is
little doubt but that one or the other
of these two teams would be glad to
play against team Of Philadelphians.
Boston is to play Connecticut this
year and there are many opportunities
for district meetings in friendly one day
matches
Strong Choice
On paper Philadelphia looks to have
as strong choice as any of the dis :
tricts. according to last years form.
A team, powerful in singles and four =
somes, could be picked from the follow
ing: Max Marston, Cameron Buxton,
George Hoffner. Pat Grant, Paul
Tewkesbury. Sydney e. Sherwood,
Francis Kemble, Ed Clarey, j. Wood
Platt, Norman Maxwell, Walter Rey =
nolds, Phil Corson, II. B. X. Davis,
Lewis NJ. Washburn. Meredith Jack.
James Gay. Jr., and so on through the
list of local stars.
A spring meeting between the Quaker
City players and the stars of another
district would be welcome event for
the fans to follow, inasmuch as most OF
the title events are scheduled for the
fall, except the local championships.
