D. E. Sawyer. now the metropolitan

there win be cause for satisfaction on

that better fare win be provided. Just
how much OF an improvement is TO be eK-
pected will not be known until after the
entries close tomorrow night
There Is one cause for regret, and that
is that the officials have seen At this
year to confine the meeting to three
days. In 1919 four days were allotted
TO the play. giving a qualifying division
of thirty-two and thirty-six hole final.

Wykagyl for the last few weeks has
been undergoing special preparation. and
II is reported that the fairways and put
ting greens never were better New
traps have been added on several Of the
holes, designed particularly to catch the
long bah with p slice. The new putting
green on the t&ird hole. recently moved
back across the brook, has three deep
traps to the right which require careful
watching. The new fourth hole, with
the large blind trap the entire width OF
the fairway. thirty yards In front of the
green, makes the hole just difficult
to be interesting. while the new NTH
and sixth holes. with comparatively mar
row fairways and plenty Of trouble on
both sides, already have established a
reputation for trying the skill Of the
best. The new sixteenth hole is another
that is well enough trapped to call for
more than ordinary care.
Entrants for the Victory tournament
win have tomorrow and Wednesday to
famIliarize themselves with the wy

the courtesies Of the clubhouse and
