H. Moss, chairman; Miss Phoebe Nell Tidmarsh and Mrs. F. F. Jack- son, held a meeting to arrange the schedule and other important busi- nesn, Play will start on Tuesday, August 25, when a qualification round of 18 holes will decide the 16 players who will make up the champlonship draw. Elimination match play at 18 holes will follow on Wednesday, Thursday | and Friday, which will bring the field down to tho finals, This deciding match, which will wind up the tour- nament on Saturday, will be a 26. hole journey. All play will be from the men's toes. ‘The second annual women's golf tournament for the city title will also be held on the North End link: next year, but the time will not be fixed unt!l Mrs. R.
