BY KERR N. PETRIE.
Ter those dyed In the wool golf enthu-
s.ssts who do not mind how far they
travel to- see a good match or tcurna-
merit The links of the Morris County Golf
Club at Convent. N. J.. will be well
worth visiting this week. Tomorrow on
this course the annual tussle begins for
the championship Of the Women's Metro
politan Golf Association, an event that
has gained attractiveness by the inclu-
sion- of Miss Alexa Stirling, who held
the national title from 1915 until last
fall, when she was beaten in the final
by Miss Marion Hollins of Westbrook.
Unfortunately. Miss Hollins herself is
not to be in the field as it was hoped.
but the golfers will just have to console
themselves on the appearance of Miss
Stirling. 1t is some little consolation at
that. for there is no one that handles the
clubs better than the Atlanta lass, who
may be called the model upon which
America soon Is destined to rise to even
4 higher flights in womens golf than it so
far has attained
Those who mean to see Miss Stirling
drive off in the qualifying round will
have to take the s .15 train from Ho-
boken tomorrow morning. The time
given is Eastern standard time. which
is one hour earlier than daylight saving
time. BY catching that train the enthu-
siast will hit 1t just about right, as the
former champion tees up at 10 20 day
light saving) in company with Mrs J. L.
Anderson of Cherry Valley, who in 1919,
as Miss Irene Peacock. went to the semi
hnal of the national.
Ninety-sfx Players Entered.
A field of ninety-six players had en-
tered when the pairings were made up
yesterday. This means that with a start
at 8 o'clock the tee will not be cleared
in the qualifying round until nearly
O'Clock. In all likelihood there will be
enough eleventh hour entrants to carry
the list over the 100 mark and to keep
the starter busy until after o'clock
1t was fondly hoped that there would
be another meeting OF last years ma
tional finalists, but with Miss Hollins
out of the metropolitan this now Is i'm
possible. Naturally the failure of the
u. S. G. A. title holder to send In her
name strengthens the position of Miss
Stirling, who may now be said to be the
outstanding favorite.
However, it is very unlikely that the
affair. at Morris county will develop into
a "one horse" show. Quite a number
of players have to be reckoned with.
And by way of proving that Miss Stir
ling does not have 1t all her own way
IL is necessary to mention only the
Of ~ o. cIaoa1u
grouped, in the qualifying. Mrs. Ander-
son is one. Mrs. H. Arnold jackson of
Greenwich and Mrs. Thomas Hucknall
OF Norris county the others. The lat
ter pair qualify together. teeing up at
10 :36.
The absence of Mrs. w. A. Gavin. who
won the title last year at Nassau, leaves
the championship open. 1t must be ad-
mitted that Miss Stirling never entered
the field at better time. Whether she
will prevail or not Is another matter
which will be known on Friday when
the final will be decided.
