announced the names of seventy nine
players, which is eighteen more than
was recorded for the Ardsley tourna-
ment a year ago Not only is it the
largest, but it is also the most
representative ever received Every
section of the country has entered its
best players.
In spite of rumors to the contrary,
Miss Beatrice Hoyt, the present cham
pion, is entered and will defend her
title. Miss Hoyt has not appeared in
any of the tournaments thus far this
season, and little is known of her
game, but it is evident she will meet
with more determined opposition than
in any of the previous championship
contests insswhich she has taken part.
Miss Maud K. Wetmore, of the New
port Golf Club, who won second
place at Ardsley last year, is also en-
tered, and, Judging by her success at
Newport last summer, she will prove
a formidable opponent to Miss Hoyt.
