an for the wcmen's title event.
The session, which was the twenty
s;yth in the history of the association,
wss one OF the shortest and most in
tsrestine ever held. Delegates were
mol called TO order until about 8
was agreed to adjourn.
Hoyt Makes Plea
n putting in his pea for the Engi-
reers' circuit Frank H. Eoyt explained
what the club hoped to do, the posi-
b;iities Of the course and so on. He
further stated that everything would
Be done for the players convenience;
The gallery also would be well taken
care of. and ali unnecessary use of
the megaphone would be eliminated.
There was no opposition to the selec-
ton Of the Roslyn circuit. while Bal
tusrol withdrew it's app lication.
Regarding the open, there was deal
rot the award. The Flossmoor Country
Club and the Fox Hills Coli Cluo were
the second and third choices, and the
delegate from Flossmoor put in
strenuous bid for the championship
When the question was put to O test
hsweyer. the vote was almost unani-
nous in favor of the Toledo course,
whereapon the Chicago representative
withdrew from the field. The Mayfeld
Golf Club selection for the women was
quickly settled, as Lochmoor and
Cherry Valley. being the other appli-
cants, withdrew.
After Frederick S. Wheeler, the de-
parting president, made his farewell
address he laid down the gavel in
favor OF George Fl. Walker, the new
chief executive. The St. Louis golfer
then made short address and brought
out the point that since golf was
game for the players, it was only log
icAl that the rules should be governed,
as far as possible, by the players.
Several things, including the stymie,
Standardization of the ball, the lost
ball rule, and so on, were used as
instances by Walker, who said he
thought committee should take up
the matter with one from St. Andrews.
Chair to Name Committee
Frank L. Woodward, of Denver, for
mer president OF the national body.
then moved that such committee
should be appointed. whereupon E. S.
Moore, Of Onwentsia, suggested that
four men representing the North,
South, East and Western sections of
the United States be delegated to do
that werk. This met with general ap-
prcval and it was left to the chair
soappoint commistee
Considering the price of things in
general. 1t was recommended to in
crease thss fund given to the clubs
handling the: champ piogiships. The En-
glneers' Club, therefore, will be ap-
portioned 81 200 instead OF 81 900 as
heretofore; the Mayheld Club will get
Sl,000 and the Inverness organization
$3.50. Howard W. Perrin, another for
mer president of the association, went
even further than this and recommend
cd gFving more. 1t was finally decided
70 leave the amount to the discretion
ef the committee
Howard F. Whitney, who moved up
from .he Office of secretary to that of
ylee-presldent. explained that it was
the desire Of the executive committee
70 choose date for the open cham
ploaship that would allow the profes-
sionais from this country to play in
the British classics and make it pos
sibie Tor the foreigners to take part
IN the United States meeting. This
means tnat the champi onship at Inver-
ness vii probably be held late in the
season, as the British title event is
Usually scheduled early.
Before date for the women's meet
lng ID decided upon. the women's COM
m'ttee will be asked for a recommen-
cation. Regarding the amateur. the
ame viii probably be chosen by the
executive board within the near future.
A professional touch was given to
me meeting through the presence OF
Malrer hagen, the open champion; Gil
Nichols and Cyril Walker. j. s.
sweeneys president of the Lochmoor
Cius, in Detroit, made a good address.
N wa'ch ne said that all arrangements Is
aad oeen made TO hold the amateur
championship in 1921 over the Loeb
moor links. He guaranteed that the
contestants would have fine time, and
Injected a bit Of humor when he
snanked the delegates in advance for
aelT acceptance Of mis- offer.
