women golfers in the local district
Mrs. c. F. Uebelacker, of Hackensack,
president of the association, presided.

Percy Thompson, secretary, reported a
membership in good standing of sew
entyseven clubs, scattered in the three
districts comprising the metropolitan
area.
1t was voted to hold the annual meet
ing the first week in December in the
future, for the reason that the men,
bers will then still be fresh from their
play in October and November and in
better position to make suggestions
for the following year.
Oppose Increased Dues
Mrs. Uebelacker said complai ints had
been made regarding the value of the
prizes and suggested that the annual
dues be increased from SO to SIS. This
did not meet with the approval of the
delegates, nor did the suggestion that
the entry fee be raised from 81 to So.

to members who ara bona fide resi-
| dents in the district was discussed at
considerable length. This matter wa
taken up because the ehampi ionship
last year was almost captured by an
English player who had been admitted
to membership in one of the associa-
tions clubs, although she had no in
tention of taking up her residence here
Final Round at Thirty-six Holes

play to allow all regular members to
participate. A recommendation was
made to the executive con nittee t,
amend the constitution at the next
annual meeting SO that this lbarraS So
ing situation will not present itself
again.
Finalists in the metropolitan cham
pionship this year will be compelled to
play thirty-siX holes, instead of eigh-
teen, as has been the custom in pre-
vious years. This change met with the
hearty approval of the delegates.
