RETURN OF GOLF AND TENNIS

Championships Discontinued In 1917 on Account of War May Be Resumed This Year. / Look out for golf and tennis championships next year. That’s the word which comes from men close In touch with the national associations, and it may be regarded as final. Championships were discontinued for patriotic reasons, but as the season wore on in 1917 it was realized that the matter had been a little too vividly drawn and that the holding of championship matches would not be unpatriotic, even though some of the best contestants in both sports would be unable to compete on account of military duties. The- first definite action may be expected when the Southern Golf association meets within a short time. It is expected that this association will plan for the 1918 season on an antewar basis. If this is done, it is quite likely the other associations will fall into line.
