1t may or may not find sympa-
thetic ear among the links solons,
but If the boys look the entire situa-
ton over, with all its new angles
they would do all right to adopt
something OF that nature, IN view
of the fact that the District Asso-
citation will not hold it's title tourney
this year.
The Maryland State organization
will go through with its regular
schedule under the supervision Of a
new tournament chairman. The
Mr.. Big of Maryland golf this year
will be DR.. Robert A. Keilty, who
succeeds Edgar A. Lucas in the
tournament post, and again is first
vice president Of the association.
Keilty is all for the pooled tourna-
ment idea, in view of the dif1culties
golfers are sure to find this year
with transportation.
Pros to Cooperate.
The Maryland association and the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. will work
out a schedule pooling their ANA
teur-pro and sweepstakes Journeys
this year. So much was promised
by WHY Cox. prexy of the Mid
Atlantic pro organization, who met
last night with the Maryland solons
at their annual meeting at the
Baltimore Country Club.
Insofar as it can be done major
prizes in Maryland State Journeys
this year will be in Defense bonds
and stamps, under resolution
passed by that organization.
Omcers were chosen as follows:
President, Edgar M. Lucas, Balti-
more Country Club: first vice presi-
dent, DR.. r. A. Keilty, Congress
sional; vice presidents, Nathan r.
Smith, A. Herman Stump and John
D. Hospelhorn, Baltimore: Harry G
Pitt and John o. Bergelin, Manor
and Kenwood, and Charles S. Cath
erman. sr., Cumberland; general
counsel, Albert E. Steinem. Wood
mont; secretary, Emmett Gary
Hillendale
Ten amateur-pro affairs will be
held under the joint auspices OF the
pro organization and the Maryland
body, under plans to be worked out
between Cox and Keilty, but the
State association has Cancelled the
spring team matches, while giving
the green light to the fall team
matches on rearranged basis
Washington club teams will meet
each other in the fall matches,
with those from Baltimore clashing
the two winners to meet in a final
round. The BOYS finally are getting
smart. for this should have been
done many years ago.
Will Meet Changed Conditions.
I'VE don't know just what We can
do this year" said Keilty. But
we will meet conditions as they
arise Golf is an important exercise
and men and women are going TO
want to get outdoors. Golf meets
that need. We will try to carry
through as much of our schedule
as possible"
This is in contravention to the
policy of the United States Coli
Association, which abandoned its
championship Journeys last week
and to the thought of the Execu-
tive Committee of the District Golf
Association, which has recon-
mended that the District amateur
championship (only major tourney
staged by that associstion) be can
celed this year.
Edgar A. Lucas of Baltimore. new
prexy of the Old Line State golfers,
waved the flag and said all golfers
will 60 through a trying period
this year, but We can aid in win
ming the war by providing recrea-
ton"
I'VE can sponsor tournaments for
war relief organizations, and We
will have to rearrange our slate,
but We will keep on with our sched-
ule to fit conditions" he said. The
Maryland body o. KID the three
holiday Journeys suggested by the
U. S. G. A.. to be played nationally
