GOLFERS READY TO
PICK TITLE LINKS
Hollywood and Siwanoy Ex-
pected to Get Championships
at To-night's Meeting.
by KERR n. PETRIE.


Colts biggest day Of the off season
has arrived. Tonight at the Waldorf
Astoria the delegates from the clubs
north. south, east and west VIII elect
the new ticket of officers that is to guide
the good ship through the fair weather
and foul of the coming season, select
the courses over which the champion
ships are to be decided and vote on the
proposed amendments to the constitution
and the other matters of interest that
will come before the meeting
A few short weeks ago the greatest
interest in the forthcoming attached to
what would be done about the challenge
of the Western Golf Association. or late,
however. there has been decided less
ening Of interest in this question, the
feeling being that the greater repre-
sentation given to the West on the ex-
ecutive committee by the proposed
amendment to the constitution has vir-
tually met the demands and for the time
being at least STAYED off all danger of
war.
IT will be strange in view of the atti-
tude of such associations IS Massachu-
setts, Western Pennsylvania, Philadel-
phia and the Metropolitan IL there are
net many expressions of loyalty to the
parent body. but every one realizes that
the next move is with the w. G. A..
which holds its annual meeting in about
another week.
Metropolitan golfers are looking for
ward to the meeting with interest CEN
tired chiefly on the assignment of cham
rionships. This Is not greatly surpris-
ing either. seeing that no less than two
of the three big u. s. G. A. events are
expected in this district the coming sea-
son. The committee of women named
by the U. s. G. A. to recommend a
course for the banner event of the fair
sex has put its o. k. on the circuit of
the Hollywood Country Club of Deal.
y. j., and 1t Is also understood that the
professionals have finally made the
Siwanoy Country Club of Mount Vernon
their selection.
Whether the Columbia Country Club
of Washington, d. c.. which also was
well in the running for the open. will
stand calmly by and see the Metropoli-
tan district run off with two of the three
plums remains to be seen. Gossip says
that ii will not Lido and Hollywood
also were under consideration by the
professionals. but Lido, IL II should get
the Metropolitan amateur championship,
as seems likely, will have enough for one
found favor with the fair golfers despite
the fact that it is one of the longest
golf courses in the United States.
Everything points to battle royal
for the amateur championship between
the st. Louis Country Club and the
F'lossmoor Country Club of Chicago.
All are agreed that the event must so
West, but beyond that there is not much
to guide the ordinary Metropolitan en-
thusiast save the fact that st. Louis
never yet has held a national champion
ship. The names of fifty-one delegates
had been received by Secretary w. D.
Vanderpool up to last night. but the
morning mails no doubt will bring to
hand many more. Those already re-
ceived were chiefly from Metropolitan
