GOLFERS MEET AT CHICAGO

National Organization Will Hold Sew •lon In Windy City to Award Tournament Dates. Announcement from Boston that the next annual meeting of the United States Golf association will be held in Chicago on January 11, has set the Boston golfing politicians to talking about an eligible for the office of president of the national organiza* tion. This position has thrice been offered to Chicago and on each occasion the individual to whom It has been offered—David R. Forgan of Onwentsia has declined on account of business pressure. The national championship having been held in Boston this year, at the. Chicago Golf club the year before, and. over an eastern course the year previous, it is now fitting that the 1911. event should be assigned to an intermediate club. Buffalo and Pittsburg are both out for the event, hut in recognition of the victory of Fownes ln> the national the consensus of opinion seems to be that the event should be awarded to the Oakmount Country club, which has already done some campaigning for the event. Some action will be taken at the annual meeting of the P. 8. G. A. in regard to the entertainment of the Australian team which will visit the United States next year. Word was received in Chicago the other day that Michael Scott, who recently won the amateur championshipi of New South Wales at Sydney, Australia, will lead the team from the antipodes that will visit this country. Scott, who is a son of Lord Eldon, won the Australian open championship In 1902 and 1907, and the Austrian amateur tide in 1905, 1907, and. 1909.
