Word received from Prank Barfcn
secretary OF the Lakewood Country
Club. Is 10 the effect that entries for the
tournament to be held by that organi-
zation on Thursday. Friday ana satur.
day OF next week nrc coming along
well enough TO warrant the belief tina
there VIII be a large field Lakewood
has had a very long dry spell. but under
the circumstances the fairwayH arc very
good and the greens wonderful All tha
golfers who have PLAYED there recently
have commented on their splendid con-
dition. says Barton. Since last year the
fairways have shown such improve
ment that unless there should be N great
deal of rain between now and next
Thursday winter rules are not likely 20
be put IN operation.
After all is said and done. n 4. rer-
haps Just as well that the women's yoI,
team competition for the Golf Illustrates
cup has been put over until next year
when 1t may be possible 20 make ,
fresh start unter the conditions origin
ally intended. In the first announcement,
or the competition Il was set forth TIA,
Tor the purposes OF the tournament the
association should be divided into threo
districts, New Jersey. Long Island and
Westchester and Staten Island, that each
district be subdivided into teams OF
eight players each and that each team,
play every other team in the distrlcr.
After this the winning district teams
were to play off for the championship.
1t does not seem. however. hat anv
such programme was followed. Rathc.
would II appear that the competition
resolved Itself into a repetition OF the
spring matches among the three dis-
tricts with fifteen players on each side.
In view OF the original intention. little
blame attaches to the Long Island can.
tain, Mrs. J. II. Alexandra, for sum-
moning but eight players for the match
with New Jersey at Belleciairc. II 4
is impossible to make any satisfactory
SUBDIVISION as at first planned, ar
rangement5 may be made next ear 70
have the cup offered to the winner of
the tridistrict matches on a perhaps
slightly more elaborate plan than any
on which these have yet been Conducted
