United North and South Amateur
Championship Tournament, which takes
place here from April 4th to 9th, in
clusive, was announced by the Executive
Committee of the Finehurst Golf Club
during the week, and it is by far the
most important in the history of these

tures in addition to the Amateur Cham
pionship event. These will include a
Women's Championship, an Open South
ern Championship, an eighteen-hole
medal play handicap, and driving, ap
proaching and putting contests.
Special plans are also being made for
the entertainment of the visitors and

for the Handicap must state their club
handicap or play from scratch.

These tournauients have steadily in
creased in importance and popularity
drawing a larger and more important
field of entries each year, until they have
now become of National importance in
their character, the leading event of the
winter season and the most important of
the early season tournaments.
PROMINENT PARTICIPANTS.
Prominent among the entries already
received is the name of Walter J. Travis,
the amateur champion, and the winner
of this year's inauguration tournament.
Mr. Travi3 was delighted with his first
visit to Finehurst and he returns, not
only with the championship cup in his
mind's eye, but to renew pleasant asso
ciations made upon a previous visit. Mr.
Travis is, without doubt, the most con
spicuous figure in the golfing world of
to-day and unquestionably the strongest
amateur at thirty-six holes in this coun
try. The fact, however, remains that he
is not considered "invincible" by many

matches fully as close. Mr. Travis plans
to sail for England very soon after his
visit here, to take part in the Amateur
Championship of Great Britain, to be
played at Sandwich during the week of
May 30th. It is also probable that he
will participate in the open champion
ship fixed for June 8th and 9th on the
same links.

defeating him and thereby winning
national fame, is a prospect which looms
up brightly before many players.
In this year's inauguration tourna

Montclair Golf Club and W. C. Fownes,
Jr., of the Highland Golf Club, Fitts
burg, came very close to the coveted
accomplishment, and in the coming
championship, there are sure to be
Unusual interest will in consequence,
attach to Mr, Travis' visit here owing to
the fact that it will probably be his last
appearance in an imporant tournament
in this country for some time to come.
Among the other entries is the
"Fownes family" of Pittsburg, promi
nent among whom is W. C. Jr., the
young man who gave Travis such a close
rub for the first cup in the inauguration
tournament finals.
