WHO'S WHO In GOLF.
The Seasons Many Champions and
What Their Titles COUer.

/ review Of the season closing reveals a
fulhment Of President RObertson's prediction OF
two years ago that golf in America was oes1ile-
TO develop along territorial lines. 1t was in his
closing speech as retiring president OK the Onteu
States Golf Association that Mr. Robertson adj
vanced the theory that some day the national solL
championships must be left to the competition OF
men who had previously shown their fitness IN Local
championships. and that the sectional association
was the logical outcome Of the continued growth
Of the game
In proof Of this It may be said that more State
and sectional championships were held this season
than ever before The tendency OF clubs to Dand
together in associations representing some geo
graphical district is becoming and more
marked. and it is probable that in another season
every State in the Union will have its annual golf
championship.
This DEVELOPMENT is significant to those who re-
gard IL the ultimate salvation OF nationai touI
naments The growing dissatisfaction WIN thsse
tournaments is due to the fact that they do not
represent what their title indicates In other words
they are not national all usually held IN New
York, Boston Chicago. and seldom lnciuolhs
player west Of the Missouri River
There has been considerable talk OF another as
socfaton organized on broader lines. but the trou-
bic is finding its own solution in the gradual IN
crease Of State associations With these associd-
tons embracing the golfers OF the country. II VIII
be possible for each association 10 send It's cram
pion to the contest and the winner would then re-
ceive a title whose national character coulu not
be questioned Such a method would also ESil1'e
the championship tournaments Of an un"ieidy
entry Of second class players and enable the others
to show their best form unhampered BY an uhnec-
essary crush.
Another marked feature Of the season Just clos
ing has been the prominence taken BY women play
ers. Miss Bessie Anthony. winner OF bOtn natlonal
and Western championships. has decided 70 VIII
draw from the game and like Mrs. G T stout she
will leave her title to be fought for Dy other
aspirants next season Miss Anthony was recently
married to B. s Horne. OF Pittsburg. goifer VINO
has appeared with success in several important
tournaments and while still enthusiastic over the
game she will not be as conspicuous in II as mere
tofore.
Mrs Edward A Manice. Of the Baltusrol COLI
Club is another woman who has displayed marked
ability this season. Mrs. Manice won the women )
