Mr.. II. X. L. DalZell is developing
splendid driving power. Last Inufs-
dav with Mr.. Charles Paxton tof
partner. he drove the home green Inc
distance from tee to hole Us 1S4 yards
The ball lit on the northeastern edge
of the green about five yards from the
hole. The drive had both requisites
SO indispensable, good distance anu
good direction.
DR.. Storer recently had remarkable
streak OF good luck, combined with
good golf, in round at the Woodsdale
links. He negotiated the fourth ana
fifth holes in three each, and the slxth
hole in two. That kind OF play ii con-
slant would overcome Harry Nardon.
Mr.. yanderwatering, the instructor
of the Wheeling Club, did the long
hold (406 YARDS in four last Friday.
Big odds that it will be many moons
before that score will be broken.

The Highland golf team was quite

the ladies would have made the social
feature very delightful, as all prelini-
nary arrangements had been made 10
entertain the guests OF both clubs in
true Highland style. The excuse for
not joining issue given by the Low
landers was that some OF their best
players were cut of the city, conse-

Quite a number of members OF the
Wheeling club are agitating the advis-
ability OF the club getting up two hand
some trophies in the shape of silver
cups. One to be played for by a lady
member, and the other by a gentleman
member Whether it be a SO hole con-

termined by the CLUB; and whether the
winner would become absolute possess
sor al once or be compelled TO defend it
against any challenging member
for a certain consecutive number
of matches, or for certain period, say
one year, and then yield it to the next
winner, the first holders name and
date of match being inscribed on the
cup or some other plan. are under dis
eussion. Whatever be the plan the idea
is excellent. Such a trophy will infuse
additional vitality among the member
ship Of both sexes. Properly conduct
ed and frequent competitions are the
life Of any club. 4 generous and
healthy spirit OF emulation is encour-
aged, the play Of the members is much
more rapidly improved and a lively in
terest in the sport peTmeates alike old
and young Of both sexes.
Miss Bessie Anthony of the Evan
ston Golf Club, who won the Wes.ern
women's championshi p last week at
Chicago, may enter for the women's
national championship at Shinnecock
Hills next month. Judging from the
form she showed during this tourna-
ment she might carry the trophy home
with her. She drives a long ball from
the tee. and puts with deadly accuracy.
Her bTassey and approach shots are not
always of the best, but all she needs is
experience, as her style is good. She
is only seventeen years old. and this
is her first important tournament. and
the fact that she could hold her nerve
and defeat veteran player like Mrs.
H. c. Chatield-Taylor On the extra hole
OF their match speaks particularly well
