To Plan Meet Dates
In Next Six Weeks
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Annual meetings of the three Sec
tional golf associations which op-
crate in this territory will be held
within the next six weeks and will
present complete picture of the
tournaments to be held in the WASH
ington-Baltimore sector during 1910.
Many women's tournaments will be
excepted for the feminine players
make up most of their own schedule.
On the Maryland State Golf As
sociation slate, major tournaments
for 1910 are pretty we'll lined up.
The amateur championship un-
doubtedly will 60 to Chevy Chase
late in June, while the open title
tourney will 60 to Columbia in Au-
gust. The women's championship
will be played at Baltimore, prob
ably at the Five Farms course of
Baltimore Country Club late in May.
Mid Atlantic Meets Lined Up.
Middle Atlantic Golf Association
championships also are lined up.
The mems title tourney for the
crown now worn by Roger S. Pea
cock will be played at Baltimore's
Hillendale Country Club in mid
June. The women's championship
will 60 to Chevy Chase the second
week in October, the usual time for
this tourney. Mrs Walter R. Stokes
of Indian Spring is the champion.
The mid-Atlantic association will
meet January 13 at the Willard
Hotel, while the Maryland associa-
ton will meet in Baltimore during
the following week.
But the District championship
tournament course for 1910 has not
been selected. although the local
fathers of golf will gather at the
University Club on February S.
Prior to the annual meeting they
will hold an Executive Committee
meeting to line up officers and tour
nament dates for next year.
AS the schedule now stands the
Chevy Chase invitation tourney,
around May Is, will open the big
time competitive season in Wash
ington. But there's a good chance
that either Washington or Wood
mont will schedule links affair in
1910. With both the Maryland mems
championships coming to Washing
ton next year it won't be any skimpy
season by any means. And in addi-
ton the amateur championship
qualification rounds are scheduled
for the Capital in August.
Tw oNew Women's Journeys.
Two additional feminine tourna-
ments will dot the slate of the
Women's District Golf Association
in an already crowded schedule.
These are the affairs for the wom-
ems eastern championship, to be
held at Baltimore June II. 13 and
IA, and the one for the Mrs. Ralph
w. Payne Trophy, to be played at
Congressional on date to be Sc
lected.
The gals have a top-heavy sched-
ule and must take at least a week
for these events. It's becoming
quite problem for the women to
fit into seven months the many af-
fairs they want. Spring team
matches, starting in April and
winding up in June, take lot of
time.
Frequent cup tournaments are in
terspersed with the team matches
and the District championship takes
another full week. The women have
a real problem on their hands this
year.
Viewed from any angle 1910
looms as big links year around
Washington. The coming associa-
ton annual meetings will line up
the schedule of all the mems events,
but the big job falls to the women.
They are by far the most active
group in this sector.
