u. S. c. A. VIII Hold
Annual Meeting in
Pittsburgh Jan. 13
BY Ray Mccarthy

The annual meeting of the United
States Golf Association will be held In
Pittsburgh on January IS. The decision
to hold the meeting at Pittsburgh was
made at recent meeting Of the ex-
ecutive committee OF the association.
This is the first time Pittsburgh has
been selected for the meeting Most
OF the gatherings in other years have
been held in this city although the
various representatives of the golf
clubs and associations throughout the
country have met in annual session in
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
No dates for the 1928 championships
were decided upon at the recent execu-
tive committee meeting. These and
other matters of import will be dealt
with at Pittsburgh.
Those other matters of import this
year are likely to be numerous,
Judging from the rumors now in cir
culation. There is, for instance. the
annual alarm or war-cry that the
committee will have something to say
about the status of certain amateurs at
the annual meeting. IF the committee
becomes too insistent about cutting the
purses for professional tournamnts
the pros may offer the retort that the
committee might better spend it's time
cutting the purses of some of the
amateurs.
There Is the date Of the national
open tournament to be named. Some
dispute may precede the selection.
The professionals want the tournament
held in June. The committee un-
doubtedly will prefer to have the open
played in July. The pros will present
their reasons for 81 change. Whether
these reasons will induce the u. S. G.
A. committee to make the change will
be decided at Pittsburgh.
The dates of the amateur champion
ship will also be named and it Is not
unlikely that the u. S. G. A. commit
tee, after sounding the sentiment of
the delegates present, will announce
that team Of amateur players will
be sent abroad next spring to play a
team cf British amateurs for the
Walker Cup. Both the u. s. G. A. and
the Royal and Ancient are anxious to
hold this competition annually.
The organizers Of the Leewood Golf
Club appear to have offered an inno-
vation in golf in the pay as you play
