come to Rays conclusion for these

ATLANTA, Ga. April 22.-The At

Jones, British and American open golf
champion, has announced his inten-
tion to write series of articles on
golf for g, newspaper syndicate.
Neither the name of the syndicate
nor the amount of money called for
in his contract was revealed.

lowed a ruling of the executive COM
mittee of the United States Golf AS.
sociation in New York that his writ
ing would be entirely in accord with
his amateur status in the game, pro-
vided he writes his own articles.
News of his action was received
here with surprise inasmuch as he is
known to have declined many such
offers to profit by his championship
reputation. 1t was pointed out, how
ever that he is only following in the
footsteps of other prominent anna.

It was in the meet following this con-

NEW YORK, April 22.--The posi-.
bility developed today that Mary X.
Browne might be able to compete three
years hence as an amateur golfer in
tournaments under the auspices OF the
United States Golf Association. which
has barred her from amateur ranks on
the grounds that playing professional
tennis is detrimental to the best in
terest9 OF golf.
Secretary H. II. Ramsay of the Asso-
ciation believes that Miss Browne
comes under the three-year good con-
duct" rule that once permitted George
Won Elm. present amateur champion,
to regain the fold after his entry for
the national amateur tournament was
rejected.
The reinstatement rule provides that
applicants must have acted so as to
come within the definition of an anna
teur golfer for a period of three con-
secutive years Immediately preceding
the date Of application" Mr.. Ramsay
indicated that Miss Brownies general
attitude toward professional sports
would he an important factor, espe-
Cially IF she accepts offers to become
a tennis instructor, which are said to
have been made" Return of Miss
Brownies amateur status in tennis was
not necessary, he said
A golf club In Westchester County,
promoted by Glenna Collett, has been
seeking Miss Brownies services as ten
mis- professional, beginning next year.

Kerry of Seattle, a director of the Pa
Cifc Northwest Golf Association, said
that body will probably follow the lead
of the Western Golf Association in
holding that Mary X. Browne is
eligible to play In amateur tourna-

Il believe, however, that when the
Western Golf Association directors
meet they will take a stand in con-
formity with that of the United States
Golf Association, which apparently has

Cancellation of the National Amateur

here early i'm July was regarded as q

was withdrawn by a committee of bus
mess men yesterday when it was
learned that the Amateur Athletic
Union would insist on allowing negro
athletes TO compete in the events. Fear
of racial disturbances in the city was
given as the reason
Plans for the meeting here were well
under way, and its success was as
sured when the motion of the local
Amateur Athletic Union committee
Spoiled the show" While a cam
paign to raise funds for the meet was
being mapped, the committee here was
trying to find some way to eliminate
negro athletes from competition. Yes
teTday, however, an ultimatum was re-
CeiVed from +. w. Ruben, secretary
Of the National Amateur Athletic
Union, in which he stated that negroes
would have to be allowed in the meet
or it could not be held
AT a meeting of the local committee
1t was decided that a mixed meet
would be too risky here and that 1t
would have to be called off.
This morning members of the COM
mittee said that they regarded the in
cident as closed, for the time being,
at least.
