POOR PLAYERS MUST STAY OUT tiolf Association Drops Hint to Ultra Amateors Mot to Congest Coarse When They Have No Chance to (taallfr. NEW YORK, Aug. J-Entries for the amateur golf championship do not close until Monday. September 4, yet there are seven names on the list to date. These Include Secretary Robert Watson of the United States Golf association. On August 1 the exeoutlve committee) of the United States Oolf association tent out a circular to all clubs urging that incom petents should be asked to stay away. The dictum was not expressed so bluntly he this. Instead, after calling attention to the 206 contestants who appeared last year and marred everything by cdngestlng the course, the committee proceeded with this diplomatic utterance: "The United States Golf association In vites and welcomes to the contest any player who has a chance to qualify, but the committee desires to avoid the uncom fortable congestion of the course and the possible necessity of requiring a pre liminary elimination round on the Satur day preceding the week of the tournament. "To that tnd the committee asks the officers of the several clubs of the asso ciation to say to their members that In consideration of the best Interests of the game and of the success of the tournament none should enter who haa not a reason able chance of qualifying and that it is Inconsistent with the spirit of a true sportsman to compete for merely tho ex perience of playing over the course." If the plan falls to work and a pre liminary elimination round la ordered, the congestion so baleful last year will not be In evidence, yet the surplus entry will stretch out the tournament another day and bring extra work on the committee. With 300 and an extra elimination round the tournament will be a great playing success. Should It fail to come np to ex pectation It will mean that a new way of competing Is needed. Perhaps the status to enter hould he the ability to win the low acore medal, as determined by the club officera. not the Individual. The weak ness of the present warning by the United States Golf association to the club offi cers la that those who may be deemed safe to qualify at the rhamplonshlp are too numerous a flock. There Is, of course, to be a bumper gal lery. Practically It Is to be the first time Oreater New York has had an opportunity to see the amateur championship and there will be an army of enthusiast at Apa wamla each day. atreet Car President Arreated.

Who Konnd Conditions Far Re. read Ills Control. Leo Wilson and Ralph Newell of the Omaha Toung Men's Christian association park tennis band effectually captured all the honor of the championship singles In the seml-flnala of the Inter-club tourna ment at the Rod gnd Gun club courts Fri day. The Championship wnvti Ilea between the two will be played off this afternoon at S o'clock. Newell put out the Rod and Gun club's last hope In the tournament. ;oe Adams, the champion of the club, but like other hopes Adams found circumstances bevond his control. Newell played a g'eat game. Outclassing Adams, who did not play up to his standard. The first set went to the "Y" man. 6-S. and was the hardest fought of any of the matches. Newell'a quick cut on the ba-11 was hard of Judgment and Adama found plenty of trouble In handling It. Adama piayea xne ball deep back In the court on the majority of his shots, but Newell was too active to be caught. Adams possessed the net a good part of the time, lobbing the ball with careful shots to keep Newell working from the back line. ftewell Plays ftteadllr. The second and third sets Adams played the ball with greater speed and a little recklessly, but Newell steadily worked his way to victory by carefully returning the ball Into the middle of the court and allowing the younger player to lose his own game by misjudged shots to the corner. In defeating Kuony of the Avalon club. Wilson, the other Young Men'g Christian association player, went out In three straight sets, losing only two games. Wil son was playing too fast for Kuony, moving with remarkable speed over his court, with perfect foot work, born of his long basket ball practice while a star at the Indoor game. His racquet work was deadly, play ing the ball for the back line continually for Kuony'g weak spot. The Avalon man found the ball coming too swiftly for him In many cases and played his racquet short many times, Wilson showed that he was a player who combined head work with ability at the athletic part of the game, and when Kuony played far back -would gently drop the ball barely over the net or play the AvaJon man off to one side.
