for a good bit after oil? Some time

Dates for chain-
liionshins nnd flip American nolle on
the stymie, lost ball, standard ball and
nmatcur questions will be the main
business.
Chief in imnortnncp will be the as
signment of dates for the three national
championships, but of almost equal
magnitude will be the appointment of a
committee to represent the United
States Golf Association, at. n joint con
fcrencc with British authorities, to be
held nt the ltoynl nnd Ancient Club of
St. Andrew's, Scotland, this spring.
When the delegates gathered last
month for the annual meeting it was
agreed that each section of the coun
try should be represented on such a
committee nnd it wns decided informally
to make it n body of four prominent
golfers.
Vnnt D. Vandcnjiool, secretary of
the I'. S. G. A., said that, iu nil prob
ability, this commilteci would go to
England in time to witness the British
amateur championships, which will bo
played over the Muirfield course the
week of .Tunc S: lie explained that the
dates for the three championships of
this country probably would not be an
nounced for some time after Tuesday's
meeting, because it is necessary to con
fer with the three clubs awarded the
fixtures.
It was announced officially yesterday
other cities do you figure the public" at j
large would give jou any credit for
buying a jchampionship :"
'"Well," he said, "we'd still have the
ihampionship, and the public would
forget in about five days."
Honolulu and All Stops
THE hnppv hunting grounds of sport
are broadening day by day. Hono
lulu now wants Ilill Johnston, the ten
nis champion, to stop off for n big April
tournament, and the same locality would
esteem it much bliss to have cither Chick
Hvans or Francis Ouimet. for golf is
slo making big headway there.
Johnston this season is booked to play
in Honolulu, New York, San Francisco,
fhicago and Melbourne. Outside of this
his range is a bit limited, not to ay
irttrictcd. v
Here the Itininr lnnt.itoa mnrln mi ,n
doubted mistake. They should at least
have left an opening to all under six
teen who were willing to take their place
in the sun at the old admission price.
Ihey first plugged up the knot-hole in
the fence,, nnd now they have tossed up
n new barrier. "When n feller needs n
friend" has just another angle,
fpiIH loud and resonant echo you will
-1- soon hear as it bubbles out of the
South 'will be the Honorable Ping
Hodle in the act of crashing his first
apple of the season. You can't mis
take it.
