GOLF TEAM MATCH
MAY STRIKE SNAG
Clubs of Certain Stars Of
Northwest Not Affiliated
With National Association.
BY KERR n. PETRIE.

If Guy NJ. Stadcer and his eliminates
of the Waverly Golf Club of Portland
are serious in their desires for series
OF team matches as prelude to the
national amateur championship at st
Louis next month the roster of the
United States Golf Association soon may
be considerably ausmentcd by certain
clubs Of the Pacific Northwest not now
in membership.
Stadifer. it may be recalled, lately
made it known that a team of hopefuls
from his home sector would be at st.
Louis the week before the national,
ready for brush wit all comers, pref
erably the elect OF the middle West, led
by Champion Chick Evans. and another
side selected and captained by Francis
Ouimet and drawn from Boston, New
York. Philadelphia and the East gen
orally. A good deal has been made OF
this suggestion out In the Pacific North
west, but IL Stadlfer counts on having
all tho clubs that have been mentioned
from which to draw his players It Is
about time that he passed along the
hint that 70 become eligible for partici-
IL
is necessary first for the player TO be-
long TO a club affiliated with the Y. 5.
G. a.
Briefly, such clubs as the Victoria
Golf club. the Inglewood Country Club
of Seattle, the Portland Golf Club, the
Grayu Harbor Country Club of Aber-
deem and the Salt Lake Country Club
are not members of the parent body.
All Of these were mentioned as In q po-
sition to s'rply Stadifer with material
for his team, notably Grays Harbor,
where Heinrich Schmidt plays and Salt
Lake Country Club, . which belongs
twenty-year-old George Van Elm. who
only last Saturday won the transmits
sissippi title.
III. Chandler Egnn Eligible.
II. Chandler Egan. who has been sug-
gesfed as Captain of the Pacific North
west forces, Rudolph Wilhelm. Forest
Watson, Russell Smith, DIR. o. +. will
ing. in addition to Stadifer all belong
to the Waverly Club of Portland, while
Bob Stein and II. A. F1eeger nre also
eligible as members of the Seattle Golf
Club. But Schmidt and Won Elm. not
10 mention Clark Spiers of Ingiewood.
G. a. Griswold OF Portland. and Bigger
staffe Wilson and a. v. Macan OF Vic
toria would have to be left out OF the
reckoning.
OF course IL doesn't follow that be-
cause some of the golfers do not belong
to clubs in membership OF the Y. S. G..
A. they could not participate In such a
series OF matches as has been suggested.
That they would travel TO St. Louis.
however. knowing that they could not
participate in the national amateur
championship, Is unlikely. Someone
should acquaint Stadifer or some other
high light of the Pacific Northwest golf
ing world with the facts. There appears
to be room for little missionary work
out In that section OF the country.
Notwithstanding the cabled report that
william Irvine Hunter, the British ANA
tcur champion, win sail from England
for the United States next Saturday for
the purpose OF taking part in the Ameri-
can championship at ST. Louis the office
of the ". $. @. a. secretary has not yet
been notified of the fact.
So far the only foreign entry received
by Secretary w. -. vanderpool Is that
Of Raymond Swift OF the oakdolc Golf
club.
