ter. The intimation that the present
rules are unwieldy and conflicting Is a
sad commentary on the ability as rule
makers of the Western Golf Association,
since that organization for years has
refused to be bound by the rules and
rulings of the u. S. G. A.
"When it says that the rules arc un,
wieldy and often not practical for Amer
lean links. which do not possess some OF
tho characteristics of Scotch and British
courses, for which the laws of the game
were primarily framed they are again
more likely to astound By their igno-
rance than to confound by their wisdom.
They show a narrowness of vision that
i'll fits them for the exalted position 70
which they aspire. In short the whole
thing would be farcical were It not for
the overwhelming conceit disclosed. which
makes one fly for refuge to the old quo
tation: Fools step in where angels fear
to tread"
More smoke Than Fire.
This authority and many other golfers
interviewed said they would be very
much surprised indeed IL there was any
great degree of sincerity underlying this
latest premonitory blast of the w. G. A.
Several drew attention to the boasr Of
tlC w. ". n. tlldl IL Iidu stdhtu It's tel
ritory through Atlanta. Pittsburg and
Buffalo. and drew attention to the fact
that the nearest il has vet come to hold
ing championship on its Eastern out
posts was when it once or twice sent
events to Cleveland
Despite the claim that it ntrols
so many miles there is more smoke than
fire to the w. G.. A." said one. This
year it dropped down to Memphis for
its tournament and once II went to Den
yer, but 1t will be found that in the
main the w. c. A. has worked around
a narrow circle in the middle West, with
Chicago as the hub What happened
when a few years back the tourney was
scheduled for California? How many
from Chicago went to that event after
it was found that the special train
which the California club was to pro-
vide to convey the middle Western en-
trants to the Pacific coast could not
be run unless the players wanted to
throw themselves open to a fiat charge
of professionalism? To this day some
of the men of the w. G. A. have not
forgiven the u S. G. A. for throwing
cold water on that junket. There may
| have been an undercurrent of feeling In
the West against the parent body be-
| fore that time. but. take 1t from me, not
until then was there any talk of open
| revolt"

Linksmen Say West Has Never
Forgiven L. S. G. A. for Stop
ping California Trip.
BY KERR n. PETRIE.

AS far as can be gathered from in
formal discussion of the subject by met
tropolitan linksmen, the latest blatent
blare from Chicago to the effect that the
Western Association again threatens TO
usurp the powers of the u. S. G.. A. and
WELD the reins of national golf govern
ment is not going to agitate many in
this section of the country. Admitting
that many of the suggestions advanced
from time to time by the W. G. A. have
been of value, this organization has been
too openly antagonistic and unfair to
the parent body to win the admiration of
a large and influential part of the golf
ing clan.
There may have been a time when
the personnel of the u. s. G. A. executive
committee smacked bit too much of
the East, but that was years ago, and
1t would seem that If 1t is the intention
of the w. G. A. to enlist the sympathy
of golfers to Its cause ii has erred In
stressing the point that the present ma
tional body is largely controlled by the
East. That this charge at least Is
largely based on a false hypothesis is
easily proven by scrutiny of the ticket
of officers elected at the last meeting
held 2 year ago. This shows that for
the season of 1920 the L. S. G. A. has
had a chief executive from st. Louis.
George II. Walker, to wit and one of
the two presidents, J. f. Byers.
from Pittsburg. In addition to that
there were among the members of the
executive committee Edward S. Moore
of Chicago and Nelson NJ. Whitney of
New Orleans.
Next year Howard r. whitney of
Nassau. now vice-president. is to step
into the office now occupied by Mr..
Walker. while again the place of the
Nassauite will be filled by Robert a.
Gardner. another Chicagoan Nomi-
mated as a new executive COMMITTEES
member is James d. Standish. Jr of
Detroit.
1t is a fact, too. that some of the most
drastic action ever taken by the United
States Golf Association has been carried
through while officials from the West
were in the saddle. When the celebrated
probe was being made into the status of
Francis Ouimet it may be recalled that
two eminent lawyers from the West.
both of them former presidents of the
organization, had quite a bit to do with
putting the skids under the Woodander.
About all the East did was to act in the
capacity of counsel for the defence.

Notes of the Links.

That the metropolitan district will
beat Philadelphia and any other part
of the East in the race for the next ma
tional open championship Is the opinion
of at least one prominent professional
of this district who claims to be in the
know. This player did not want the
name of the course mentioned for fear
of spelling the plans of the organiza-
ton in question, but he declared that
he stands ready TO back himself for a
considerable sum that he has the correct
dope"

Covert Threat of War.

There have been covert threats of
golf war for several years, and one was
on the verge of breaking out when the
world war came and II was stopped"
says the report from Chicago in part.
This Is not strictly according to fact.
When the world war came the relations
between the East and West in golf never
had been more cordial
The matter of ten years ago. a lively
wrangle was going on about the incon-
spicuous part that until then the West
had played in u. S. G.. A. affairs. Up
to that time that part of the country
never had been honored by having one
of its own nominated for the presidency.
However, a change came with the cleo
ton to the office of chief executive in
1911 of Silas Strawn, then of Glen View.
Chicago, and the entente cordiale then
begun was strengthened materially by
the election to office in 1915 of Frank La.
Woodward of Denver.
When Mr.. Woodward retired after
serving two years he was followed ny
Howard w. Perrin of Philadelphia, VINO
served for one year and was followed by
Frederick S. Wheeler of New York. A
space of three years saw Mr.. Walker
elevated to the throne, so IL cannot by
any stretch of Imagination be said that
for the last decade the q. 5. q. A. mas
been controlled by the East.
"As for the assertion of the w. q. A.
that 1t is part of its plan to invade the
East for the purpose of bringing all goil
clubs of the country under the same SET
of rules, it Is to laugh said one prom
inent metropolitan golfer yesterday
