Dave Hayes, profess Sional at the course for the past three years will arrange the starting of the various groups and probably take part in one of the foursomeS.
 Chase Club
 Walter A. Jarvis, chairman of the greens committee of the Chase Country Club stated today that 25 members of the former Mattatuck Club will be accepted in the new organization, the list to be made LID by the Mattatuck board of directors. Equipment of the club will be bought by the Chase Foremen's As Sociation, who also intend to com- pletely remodel the present club house, spending about $4,O0O for the work which is badly needed. MT. Jarvis praised the spirit of the Mat tatuck organization, which has loan- ed its equipment to put the course in playable shape.
 Following anticipated action of the court next Friday relative to law-day, the Chase Country Club will probably open officially on Sat- urday May 18th with Bill Klish, an employe of the Chase Companies and former golf professional in charge as golf pro.
