"Voigt Case" Has Vanished.
George J. Voigt having graciously re-
moved himself from the local golf pic
| ture, thereby automatically ending the
little passage at arms between himself
and his friends and the District Golf
Association. the latter body is quite az,
parently taking its time about framing
an amateur rule that will be binding IN
the conduct of local amateur golfers
Virtually nothing has been done by the
amateur rule committee appointed by
the District association last March 10
frame an amateur rule TO apply to
golfers coming under the jurisdiction CT
the local body. But the District asso-
citation is fully cognizant Of its respon-
Sibility IN the matter. even though the
man on whom the searchlight of inquiry
was turned a little more than year
ago has chosen to absent himself from

far as 20 fail TO defend one of the sec
ti0nai championships which he won Ias.

The well known Vogt case Of year
ago quite apparently is a dead issue. in
so far as the local golf governing body
Is concerned Voigt himself Is gone
from our midst. apparently not to re-
turn. although he is singularly reticent
concerning his intentions. notwithstand-
ing the interest that many in wash

George has not deigned TO let any one
III Washington into the secret of whether
he Is 10 stay In New York or whether
he will come back 10 Washington
Voigt's absence from the scene OF his
former trfImphs does not relieve the
District association Of the job of fran
ing an amateur rule 10 be binding in
the future, however And the solons OF
the association are going ahead, albeit
somewhat slowly. TO frame such a rule
The matter is not urgent. so they are
taxing their time, but they have fine
opportunity to do a big thing, and to
lay before the golf world an amateur
rule That Will stand the attacks OF golf
