United States Golf Association. for the fourth
women's championship. to be held from Tues
day to Saturday OF next week on the links OF
the Philadelphia Country Club at Bala, Pa.
The list 10 ord-breaksr In two respects:
The total is greater by seven than the field
that entered at Ardsley last year and the num-
Der OF players to make their debut In u cham
pionship Is also unprecedented Only twenty
three OF those entered played last year. and
while avery few appeared In the tournaments
OF '97 or '98. the others are buds In golf1ng as
far as national honors go. There is but one
entry from Chicago. that OF Miss Kirk. OF On
wentsia. but to-day's mails may contain be-
lated name or two.
The list ofthe better known players 10 headed

Most noticeable OF these who did not enter
perhaps. 10 Miss Marion Shsarson OF Chicago
and the Richmond County clubs. who qualified
at 107 last year. Miss Caryl EIdlitz. who
beat her in the first round OF match play
is also out. There were four to tie at
40 last year only stroke too high to qualify.
and OF this quartet Miss @. Helen Parrish and
Miss Fannie McLane will try again. Miss Lucy
Heron. who won the handicap last year. has
entered again. and also her clubmate. Miss
LonGwerth. who qualified in ~. at Manohes-
ter-by-the-Sea. but did not enter last year
Mrs. Edward A. Manice. winner OF the long
driving medal last year. will play again. and
her season g record at Pittsfleld shows that her
game has improved.
Miss Maude X. Wetmore. runner up to Miss
Hoyt last year. has entered from the Newport
Club with Miss Anna Sands. Unless some who
make their first appearance. OF whom great
things are whispered. play up to their game at
home. the two Newport PLAYERS should be in
the hunt. Miss Wetmore had the match all
square at the tenth hole in tho Ardsley finals
last year. and, with Miss Hoyt dormie 4. she
turned so quickly on the tee in the follow
through that she sprained her ankle and
virtually killed whatever chance she had
left. Miss Anna Sands has played somewhat
better than Miss Wetmore this summer at
Newport. Miss Sands last played in the
cham pionship Of 90. at Morris County and,
after tieinR with Miss Griscom for second
place in the qualifying round. she played finely
to the semi-fnals. in which Miss Hoyt was to
able to play the match and had to default.
