Golf Body 10 Discuss
Team Match Policy
Al First Session
Tournament Sponsorship.
Nature Of Prizes Also
Will Be Debated
by WALTER McCALLUM.

0y w fAA 6kS NxCSAAAOIv1s
While other golf associations are
eurtaiNng championship schedules
and providing many smaller tour
neys, the feminine golfers Of the
town are planning to carry on their
ie42 slate virtually without change.
That's the setup preceding tomor-
rows initial meeting Of the new
Executive Committee Of the Women's 8
Golf Association at Kenwood, sched-
uIed 1T 2 pm.
There isn't any secret about the
fast that the gals, banded together
IN one association, produce more ac-
tivity throughout the season than
any single mems organization in
this neighborhood. But they will
have three problems before them
tomorrow.
There is a disposition to change
the team match schedule by spread
ing the team schedule throughout
the year and in some quarters the
women want the matches abandoned
entirely, on the claim that so many
women will be busy in war work
they won't have time for team
matches.
Debate Over Prizes.
Talk also crops up about eliminat-
ing from the schedule those tourna-
ments which do not have current
sponsors: that Is, those which do not
have money or prizes furnished.
~ thu k1v1A
tf prizes In the 1912 Journeys. Many
Of the women favor prizes in De-
fense bonds or stamps. Others
want to keep on with distribution Of
the dinky little prizes of previous
years, on the theory that when q
competitor wins prize 1t should be
something tangible. even though not
necessarily valuable in terms Of
money.
Nowhere along the line Of future
probabilities has there been dis
position among the women to aban-
don their long-built-up tournament
schedule and the summer Of 1912
undoubtedly will find them doing
business at the old stand, the
country clubs around town. To-
morrow's meeting will cover the
broad phases Of policy in view OF
changed conditions. Arrangement
Of a tournament schedule will come
later.
Travel Problem Intrudes.
Looming large behind the entire
setup is the transportation problem.
II think we should eliminate insofar
as possible q lot of the needless
travelling we have done in past
years" said Mrs. Walter L. Weible,
president Of the Women's District
Golf Association. I'VE should arrange
q slate which will require the mini
mum Of travelling. That may mean
spreading the team matches over
the entire season, or even their
cancellation"
Another major consideration will be
that old problem child-handicaps.
The women want to do something
about them, probably by lowering
the par ratings of the local courses,
which would have the effect Of rails
ing handicaps. But there's division
among some of the lower-handl-
capped competitors on this point,
too, some claiming low handicap
Is a mark Of distinction while others
say present handicaps are too low
bv comparison with handicaps IN
other feminine golf centers.

last March, Sibble showed her OBJ

She could not become accustomed to
so much weight always pushing her

Sweden Bars Shipment
Of Arms 10 Reich, Her
Minister Here Says
Course of War Forces
Increase Of Trude in
Other Supplies, However
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Sweden has been compelled by
circumstances to increase her trade
with Germany, but is not sending
that country the tools to win the
war, Swedish Minister Wollmar Bos-
from told newspapermen here last
night.
Commenting at q press conference
on trade figures released by his
government In Stockholm, the Min
lister said that while his country
now sold to Germany certain ma
terials formerly exported to Eng
land or other countries, mo imple-
ments Of war or ammunition have
been exported to Germany since the
outbreak of the war"
The main increase in exports to
Germany. he said, has been under
the headings Of lumber, paper and
pulp. Iron exports actually have
decreased, indicating that Germany
now us able to cover its require
ments of iron ore more conveniently
from Axis controlled sources"
Sweden's policy at the beginning
of the war, the Minister explained,
was to limit exports to any bel
ligerent country to the average pre-
war quantities: This worked for
a while, but in 1910 Great Britain
lost control Of the sea approaches
to Scandinavia and an effective
blockade Of the Swedish outlets to
the Atlantic followed as q matter
Of course"
Sweden accordingly had to re-
adjust her trade to conform with
the new situation. She was de-
pendent entirely on imports for coal
and oil and In pre-war days obtained
nine-tenths Of her coal supply from
Great Britain and Poland.
With Poland in German hands
and Britain cut of by blockade
the Swedes had to look elsewhere
for coal and various other essential
imports, such as artificial fertilizers
and textiles, the Minister said.
Barely enough coal to keep Swedish
industry alive has been obtained
from Germany, he added. Other
imports from that source. besides
fertilizers, have included certain
chemicals, machinery, iron and steel
products and textiles.
