A LREADY certain of the Sec
II tional qualification rounds
1 \ for the national open golf
championship this year, by
award Of the open tests to the
Manor Club, the National Capital
can have the sectional rounds for
the national amateur champion-
ship as well.
FOR many months it has been gen.
eraIly understood that the amateur trials
would be played this year at the Five
raIms course of the Baltimore Country
CiGo. But the representatives Of that
Cup now declare that the United States
Go1 Association is anxious to see the
amateur tests go to Washington this
year, as last, claiming that lnasmuch
as washington is the focal point of the
entire mldatlantic area, it Is right and
proper the tests should be held over a
course nearby.
Inc open sectional rounds will be
played at Manor about mid-May. The
amateur sectional trials are scheduled
ior august I and with the situation
as 1t Is, the United States Golf Asso-
cation is in receptive mood for bids
Ior tne amateur near Washington. The
Matter may come up at the annual
meeting of the District Golf Associa-
tlon tonight at the Racquet Club
Last year the sectional rounds for
ootn the amateur and open were held
over washington, with the open tourney
trlals going to Congressional in June
aho tne amateur test going to Chevy
Chase In August. This year the same
procedure Is to be followed. It is yir-
tual!y certain that any well-known
washington club which now applies for
the amateur trials with the backing
OF the District Golf Association will eet
the tourney.
DLANs for formation of a new golf
organization, to be made up en-
urely OF professionals from the
washington area, will come up at the

ruo-a local chapter must have a mini
mum OF Is f1rst-class members of the
P. G. A. to secure a charter from the
natlona! body, and the local lads will
nave hard time mastering that num-
Der. Another matter to come up to-
morrow will be discussion of uniform
price levels of goods to be sold in golf
shops at clubs about Washington. After
the boys have finished their serious dis
cussion they will play golf.
