Holding of the Middle Atlantic

have a two-fold purpose. 1t should
find the golf course over which the
championship is held in tirst-cfass
shape and doubtless would be held
at a period when golfers are not fed
up with tournaments and thoroughly
tired of golf as they are toward the
fag end of the Spring season.

1t also would aid very materially in
reducing the local Spring tournament
list, a matter that has received much
attention from golf officials about
Washington. and which is sure to en-
gage the continued attention OF the
District Golf Association until some
steps are taken to balance the two
golf sea seasons-Spring and Fall. Hold
ing of the Middle Atlantic tournament
in the Fall of the year would bring
both important championships about
