dict and Ben Metniner, substituting

Of enforced absence from Washing
ton, will not be able to participate
William Cheeks will be the fifth
member of the team and the spare
tire" in case OF emergency. The
match for the cup last year, when
Mrs. Cheeks acted as captain of the
winning team, was one Of the most
exciting events Of the seasons tour
nament. 1t was particularly her
action in a squeeze play that won
the cup for her foursome, and she
was given credit for its success. Be-
cause Of war conditions, the match
has been advanced from its usual
scheduled date in October to the
first half Of May.

trophy. These teams will be the
winners in each of the two half sea
sons and third team whose aggre-
gate score in the two halves is next
highest to the first teams. AS the
Government team led in both Of the
half-season series, it will be one
of the contenders and play as Of the
half in which it had the highest
score. The second contender will be
the team having the next highest
score in one session, and the third
will be the one having the highest
average in both. The only change
in this lineup will occur in the
event that the Government winners
are displaced as result of the Sec
tional play scores, which are added
to the seasons total Owing to their
big lead, this is unlikely
