Owing to the fact that the ‘Western Golf Association invited and 1s allowing Francis Oulmet of Bos- ton to compete, a big golf war may result, | ‘The United States Golf Assoctation declared Oulmet a “pro.” because he is engaged in the sporting goods business in the Hub, which they claim is commercializing his reputa- tion as a golfer, Recently the ex- |national amateur and open champion japplied for reinstatement, but it was dented him, Despite the ruling of the national body the Western branch urged Oulmet to compete, and to-day he is paired with Ned Sawyer in the qualifying round. It is thought that the Western Golf Association's de- fiance of the U, 8. G, A. will result in its suspension, which means that the golf world would be split in half, ohn G, Anderson of New York in the national amateur championships of 1915 and .1916 and twice amateur champion of Massa- chusetts, is here, which gives the East another strong contender for the Western title, Anderson, in his prac- tice, showed he is in fine form, He is playing some of the best golf of his career and 18 counted on to get well down in the match play rounds, Since the Western association issuea its rule abolishing stymies «4 mak- ing it mandatory that the ball nearer the hole on the green in medal play be played first, the Missouri and Transmississipp! championships have been played under those conditions, but the real test of the plan will come, officers say, during the West ern event, Heinrich Schmidt of California, title holder, will not defend the champion- ship, as he has enlisted for war service, Charles Evans jr. who held the title four times, will not play, but D. E, Sawyer, champion tn 1906, and Albert Seckel, champion 1911, are listed to start. J. 8, Worthington of England and John Mays of Buenos Ayres, champion of the Argentine Re- public, also will play.
