GOLF in the South this winter does not
seem likely to develop any new ma
terial likely to achieve preeminent dis
tinction in the northern tournaments
later in the year. This is somewhat of
a reversal from last winter when the
play on southern courses brought out a
number of players who performed well
enough to be closely watched. Possibly
the better golfers are postponing their
southern trips until the fields work back
further to the northward.
Play during the Florida season has
been good, but not startling. There has
been plenty of golf for amusement and
plenty of private matches. But so far.
play has not been such as to shape play
for possible contestants In the national
feature events, so that they may start
the season in top form.
Players from the Middle West have
been going quite well on the winter
courses, but none stands out as a com
petitor likely to stir things up in
national championship.
SELECTIONS of the teams of the
Portland Golf club and the East
moreland Golf club, which will tee-off
In an 18-hole medal play competition
next Sunday, were made Saturday by
Dr. Thomas Watts and J. King Shanks,
captains of the Portland and Eastmore
land teams, respectively. , .
The match will be played under the
Nassau system of scoring.
A return match will be played over
the Eastmoreland course Sunday, March
12. This match opens the .competitive
season. It will also mark the first com
petition since the organization of the
Public Course club.

Municipal golf has never had such
impetus in and around New York as it
has acquired this winter. This is shown
not so much by the number of players
who have braved the winter winds on
the municipal links, but by the number
who have applied for the privilege of
the municipal courses for the coming
season. It begins to look like the man
who wants to pUy over a municipal

earth again and cut the maintenance of
golf course down to where It belongs.
One thing we must agree upon and get
th players to agre upon is what con
stitutes good maintenance. We bave set
a standard. Last year at Inverness we
spent something like 1)1,000 on strict
maintenance. When we saw a weed In
a bunker we promptly cut it out
"Oa the other hand, I have recen lb-
had reports . from two clubs, on in
southern Michigan and one in southern '
Ohio, two 11 til nine-hole courses in two
little towns, which were maintained, one
for J1.500 and on for 1 1.800. Th stand
ard of maintenance, therefore, lies be
tween its 00 and J 1.000. Just where tt
Is I do not know, but it is going to com
through a standardisation ef cost and
accounting system."

rpHE British golfers will make a de
X termined effort to lift the United
States amateur championship title, and
tney are going to send a formidable
team to Brookiine. Mass, where the!
championship will be played this year,
In the hope of capturing the crown. The
Invasion will be beaded by Cyril Tolley.
the former British tltJeholder. and Roger
Wetbered, regarded as one of the best
amateurs to England. It will be remem
bered that he was tied with Jock Hutch
ison in the British open championship
last year. The full makeup of the team
has not been announced yet but it is
planned to send th best players in
Great Britain to compete in the tourna
ment WILI. TRY AGAIN
It will not be the first time that Tolley
and Wethered have tried for the Ameri
lean title. They played here In 1920, at
the Engineers' club, and failed to qual
ify. This was a big disappointment to
the British golfers. It was also one of
the big upsets of the tournament While
these two sterling players never offered
any alibi for their failure to qualify.
neverthelless both of them were ill. dur
ing the tournament which made It im
possible for them to show to advantage.
The freak course over which the tour
nament .was staged had also something
to do with their poor showing. In order
to get a low score at the engineers'
course you must have an -abundance of
luck. Xjuck counted for more than ability
in the 1920 tournament
WILL BE CONTEND EES
""While the British players will present
a real menace at the tournament this
year, nevertheless, the Americans should
not encounter much trouble In repelling
the invasion. They will have the ad'
vantage of numerical strength ss well
as playing under conditions with which
they are acquainted. This is a big fac
tor in a championship tournament The
American golfers experienced this last
year at Hoylake. There was no question
of the superiority of the American en
trants, but the advantage of numerical
strength as well as playing under condi
tions to which they were accustomed
served them.td advantage. In the team
matches the Americans triumphed over
the British players, but when the tour
nament got under way the forces beaded
by William C Fownes Jr., faltered and
they went down to defeat .
There is some question as to whether
or not Willie Hunter, th present Brit
ish, title bolder will be aliigned with th
forces of, the crown or whether he will
be found In. the rnks ofTJncle Sam, is a
matter which is being deliberated upon.
Hunter made-a splendid showing in the
tournament at St Louis last year and
the plucky fight which he made single-
handed against overwhelming odds was
one of the outstanding features of the
1911 championship tournament He ad
vanced to the semi-finals before he was
toppled. Hunter is living in America
now and is the representative of a Brit
ish clothing, firm. Whether ha intends
to maae wis nis permanent noma or not
has not been announced by him.
The British, and American golfers
have virtually agreed upon the sugges
tion of William C Fownes Jr.. of each
country sending a team to compete In the
international tournament on the alter
nate years. Last year America invaded
Great Britain, and this year the British
golfers will come to America. They are
advocating the adoption of a rule In
England which will permit the gov-rn-
ing bodies to raise a fund with whl.:i to
defray the expense of a team to 'make
the foreign Invasion. Under the
existing rules players ar not permit
ted to have their expenses paid. This
mitigates against the poor players.
only the rich can afford t make a trip
abroad. Last year it cost each member
of the American team $1500 to
abroad.
I5TEBJVATIOXAL MATCH PLA2THED
The coming of the British golfers this
year means that as a prelude to the
American classic there will be an inter
national team match at Brookiine which

Fownes Jr., wrtl be the captain of the

qualified golfer for this assignment than
