Not to Hold Championship. Owing to war conditions and poor Jtransportation facilities from the West, the South and New England, |the meeting was poorly attended. In jaddition to disposing of the Ouimet matter, the delegates voted-not to hold the national amateurship as long as the war continued. The delegates completely avoided any action upon the questions of amateurism, stymie or rule changes and elected the slated officers without dissenting vote. The spirit of war was prevalent in the meeting, and while it lent color to several of the measures introduced, it also acted to eliminate the usual spir- ited debate upon matters of policy. The re-establishment of Ouimet in the amateur ranks came as a surprise. It was not believed that this matter would be opened up again during the | war. However, the executive commit- tee felt that in view of the fact that »at golfer had offered his serv- ices his country and had severed himself from competitive golf he de- served this consideration. While there was not voice against Ouimet's re-entry a dissenting into the amateur field, many of the dele- | gates openly expressed the belief after the meeting that Golf association Dbusiness would reopen the question in a more difficult phase than ever.
