WOMEN'S CUP GOLF
MEET IS CANCELLED
Westchester Unable to Raise q
Team to Play New Jersey
at Baltusrol.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

The inability of the Westchestor dis
trict to raise a team has brought to an
unexpected. untimely and unsatisfac-
tory conclusion the three cornered con-
test for the Golf Illustrated cup which
was being staged under the auspices OF
the Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation.
Last week New Jersey defeated Long
Island on the links of the Belleclaire
Golf and Country Club. and ever since
the victorious fifteen have been making
ready for the Westchester women when
they should appear at Baltusrol for the
second game OF the series. That con-
test should have taken place yesterday.
but because of the inability Of West
chester to raise team for that par
ucular day change was made to
Wednesday, However, the latest word
from the Westchester camp is that the
women golfers OF that section have lost
interest temporarily both in Baltusrol
and team play. in view of which 1t has
been decided to call Off the competition
entirely for this year.
By defaulting its match, Westchester
would seem to have left the New Jersey
team with the championship. but in View
OF the suggestion that the tournament
be carried over until next year 1t docs
not appear that the New Jersey W. nen
care to take custody of the trophy under
these conditions. This, in fact. was the
view expressed last night by one of .he
members of the team. If the cup Is q
perpetual affair or is to be left In COM
petition until one side wins 1t certain
number of times, it seems only just that
the New Jersey side should be credi ed

tions as they come and abiding strictly
by the rules will any good come Of such
a competition.
Two Of the veterans OF the New York
Newspaper Golf Club In r. F. Foster
ard Martin Moore yesterday were found
to have reserved their best golf for the
closing tournament of the season, Foster
handing in a card of S9-24, 65. and
Moore of $50, 65. to tie for the lowest
net score in the gymkhana day festivi-
ties held by the scribes over the Van
Cortlandt links.
In the ordinary course OF events the
veterans would have had to play off,
but a way out Of the difficulty was found
when it was discovered that Moore also
had the best score of the field for the
first nine holes. His card read 4S--15, 33.

Moore selected this prize and left Foster
IN charge of the low net section for the
entire round. Fosters prize was a
caddie bag.
p. l.. Campbell, the secretary of the
club, looked after the contest for the
second half of the course, his card of
42-10 IL. 81 1-2 winning him a nice
spoon. Pete" also had a good thirty
six hole card of 89-21, 68.
William A. Keatley proved himself
to be the putting wizard for the day,
his entire round of eighteen holes cost
him but thirty strokes on the green's a
box Of balls was Keatley's prize.
Campbell also showed up in the COM
petition against par but, finding that
he had won the second nine contest, he
left the field in the par event to Joe
Herman, who therefore received uashie-
niblick. Campbell and Herman each
finished 1 up.

tunate with his lies and his puts that
