NEW YORK TO HAVE
WOMEN'S GOLF MEET
South Course Of Westchester-
Biltmors Selected for Next
Years Championship.
BY KERR N. PETRIE.

This ytar, unless he cared to take
long trIrs. the metropolitan golf en-
thusiast who likes to gallery in the ma
tional chappionships was entirely out
of luck Not single one of the four
classics held during the course of the
season did he have a chance to look in
upon. yrhe cycle began with the open"
at Chi.ago, then moved. In due course to
Pittsburgh, where the p. g. A. was
decid.d. thence TO Boston for the
amateur" and finally to White Sui
phrr Springs. West Virginia. where the
wcmen competed for their crown. For
tfe dyed in the wool galleryite who re-
sdes in the metropolitan area 1t was
sne trip after another. Even the inter-
national matches for the Walker Cup
were held far enough away to Keep
down the crowd of New York "regu-
lprs." That treat was staged down at
the National Links. but for the pur-
poses of the golf hungry fan 1t might
lust as we'll have been held in Phila-
delphia.
out of five big events, therefore, it
NAV truthfully be said that New York
did not draw a single plum. They were
the sort of championships. too, in which
the average linksman revels. There was
Skokie with its manifold thrills and In
ternational aspect, Brookline with the
British team engaged and the wonder
full play of the dark horse Jess Sweet
ser. The p. G.. A., the women's tourney
and the international matches all were
thrillers. The past season has undoupl-
erly been the greatest ever, but new
York did not get chance TO ENJOY
single crumb from the feast thus laV-
ishly spread.
Now. however, it can be shouted from
the roof gardens and the sky bungalows
that New York next year Is coming
right back into its own. In place or
blank 1t will have at least two OF tne
national championships and perhaps
three, depending upon the action which
the professionals take regarding the
event which Gene Sarazen dominated
this year at Oakmont. The U. s. G. A.
open meeting as long has been known
has been awarded to the Inwood Country
Club, down there in the Rockaways.
Yesterday 1t also became known def
nitely that the women's national is TO
find a resting place at the Westchester-
Biltmore Country Club OF Rye, N. Y.
Announcement of this fact was made by
Thomas d. Armour. secretary OF the
club, who has received a letter from
Mrs. David Gaut Of Memphis. Tenn.
intimating that after consideration had
been given to the relative merits OF
certain clubs in the East the Westches-
ter -Biltmore had finally won the award.
There are two eighteen hole courses
In the Biltmore plant The south or
shorter circuit is the one over which the
women will strive for glory and the title
now held by Miss Glenna Collett OF
Providence. This south course has an
over all length OF 6.0o3 yards. nicely bal
anced with 1856 yards outgoing and
3,04S yards homecoming. Though 1t has
only yet come through its first full sea-
SON the links OF the Bilt-
niors Country Club is in excellent con-
dtion already, and as there is almost a
full year to prepare the women viii
find not as much as q. flaw when they
tee up there the end OF next September
or beginning of October.
The south course of the Westchester-
Biltmore Country Club provides test
for the fair golfers that is both modern
and fair Mrs. David Gaut and her
committee have done we'll to cast their
vote for this latest metropolitan links
creation.
