MEET FOR FLORIDA
South Eastern Championship
to Be Decided at Jack
sonville.
by KERR N. PFrRIE.

The compass soon win be taxed TO It's
ambitious golf clubs Of the South. How
ever, II there is any merit In the title
Of North and South. which is applied 10
a series Of tournaments held every year
to be said In defence OF the golfers Of
Jacksonville who have decided that the
"South-Eastern" is a good name for an
amateur tournament which they are to
stage in the early part Of March.
Details of this event so far are meagre.
Frank Rogers, one of the Jacksonville
officials, has written 10 a friend In New
York city, stating that already he Is
assured that four men teams from ten
large cities are to appear and that
among the contestants win be Bobby
Jones. Whether this means that the
tournament in question is TO be team
affair or that a match Of that nature is
to be carried on as a side line is not
clear. but as the meeting has the cham
plohship label attached golfers. are left
TO reason it out for themselves pending
receipt of more definite information.
March to 9 is the date selected.
This viii enable the amateurs TO stay
over for the open championship. which
comes Off on March 10 and IL. With
Jones In the field it is possible that 1.
may not be so pleasant for the profess
SIGNALS, especially II Bobby should be in
anything like tho form which he was
displaying in the frst half of tho West
ern open last year. With that $4,000
offered IN the Texas championship and
other tournaments promised in that
State and at Belleair the pros this win
ter are having a bigger slice Of luck
than has come their way in years. Still
not all OF them can win.
The annual meeting OF the United
States Golf Association will be held or
Saturday, January IA. at the Drake
Hotel, Chicago. ILL.,. at 0 o'clock in tho
evening. Once again it has TO be re-
marked that this is omewhat late fol-
the dissemination of news, but possibly
the officials OF the national body fee
that nothing In the nature of news is
liable TO come out OF the meeting
There is no great interest In the as
sigument OF the championships this
year and there is no threat OF wal
from the Western association.
Quite possibly il may be left to the
meeting to announce officially as tc
the selection Of courses for the women s
ana open IltlC tDufIlcyS, Dul lutIS uas
been so much said along this line al
ready that no one is likely to be found
sitting up 20 hear the verdict. AS for
the amateur. It long has been known
that the Country Club of Broolsline,
Mass. gets the next championship.
