pionship Of Dominion.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

Professional golfers have their choices
OF the Canadian ana rhe Philadelphia
open championships this week. For
some II will be the Canadian. for others
the Philadelphia. while a few will take
much needed rest Among those who
intend taking a fiier at the Dominion
championship are Joe Kirkwood and
Victor East OF Australia and Louis Tel-
lier OF Brae Burn. Boston. The tourna-
ment, which was won the last two years
by ]. u. Edgar. IS being held in Toronto.
Jim Barnes won the Canadian honors
with a record score about three years
ago, but this week Jim has decided to
tnke things easy.
Most of the metropolitan professions
ais have had about enough of competi-
tive golf for the present. However.
II is likely that at least one metropoli-
tan star will go TO the Philadelphia
tournament. this being Frank Nc
Namara Of Cherry Valley. who won the
title last year.
For the amateurs the scene shifts to
Wyantenuclt Country Club OF Great
harrington, Mass, or to any other re-
sort course where the winds blow cool
from the mountain peaks o. the ocean.
Little viii be stirring in tournament
golf locally until tho dog days are over.
Wyantenuck undoubtedly will receive its
share of attention. because this Is not
tournament for the star alone. although
stars naturally will be made welcome
Trophies for All sixteens.
Trophies will be provided for az
many sixteens as fill and there will he
another array of silver plate for the
beaten eights. Incidentally the Wyan-
tenuek tourney begins on Wednesday
and runs through the week

ment, originally scheduled to be played
at Bellevue. Syracuse, the week OF Sep
tesnber 26, VIII be postponed until the
following week. The reason for this
change is that while the pros UNDER
stood that they had selected week for
their classic which would not conflict
with any other event 1t was In reality
scheduled for time when the entire In
terest would be in the amateur charm
pionsh!p beginning on Saturday OF that
week.
The New York State event at Syracuse
Is to be one of the really big profess
sional tournaments OF the year. Bellevue
last yea- hald a similar tourney which
did not confer any title upon the win
ner. With a generous purse and the
further incentive Of tho title of first
New York State champion II is expected
that the field HI line will be one of the
finest OF the season.
