view to eliminating unruly crowds
such as bothered Macdonald Smith,
at the open golf championship at

an admission fee to the open cham
pionship tournament at Lytham and
st. Anne's next June. The fee also
will be charged at the amateur cham
pionship meeting at Muirfield in May.
This will be the first time in the
history of British golf that admissions

of demanding payment having been
regarded as an effort to the traditions
