FIRST ROUND FOR
WOMEN'S GOLF TITLE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 12.-Judg-
ing by the wretched showing made yester-
day afternoon by Miss Harriet Curtis in the
opening round of the women's eastern golf
championship her recent participation in
the British event did her more harm than
good. She was II strokes above low card.
but most of her trouble caused by
13 on the fateful twelfth hole. Her sister
Margaret, who also played abroad and last
week captured the Boston title, did poorly
as well. landing in seventh place. Two
mines and an eight were her worst offenSes.
There was a tie for first place in the
opening round of Is holes medal play at
81 between Miss G. Bishop of Bridgeport,
metropolitan champion. and Miss Fanny
OSgood of Boston, eastern title holder, while
Miss Mary Adams, national runner-up last
fall. close their heels with 96.
Miss OSgoOd's highest hole was a T. She
was a shade evener than Miss Bishop.
Miss Frances Griscom was the strongest
Of the Philadelphia contingent. The sec
ond best of the New Workers. was Miss
Julia Mix of Englewood the recent metro
started than New Workers and Philadel-
phians combined SO the outlook is that the
Griscom cup, following the match at the
end of the week. will be carried back to
Boston after two years absence.
There were thirty-odd entrants but only
twenty -six started and two did not return
cards. The cold. driving rain. accompanied
by wind. made reasonably low scores out
Of the question.
The driving contest was won by Miss
Louisa Wells Boston. whose total was o36
yards, two more than Miss Bishop. At
the business meeting practically all the old
list of officers was reelected.

TRAP SHOOTING
GETTING VERY POPULAR

Trap shooting. growing sport among
shotgun shooters, owes much to the Inter-
state Association for the Promotion Of Trap
Shooting. which has perfected the rules, Or
ganized the tournament. and assisted in a
thousand ways to raise 1t to its present
high level.
Started in 1892 it had a pretty hard time
up to the first grand American handicap
which was held at Dexter Park L. l., April
to 7, 1893 From that time interest in trap
shooting became general in the east. Then
1t spread westward. and in 1902, when the
grand American handicap was held at Kan
with 456 actual starters. Last year the sport
had practically captured every section of
the country, and four new handicaps We're
arranged. The eastern handicap was held
at Philadelphia, the southern at Nashville,
Tenn; the western at Denver, COL and the
Pacific coast handicap at Los Angeles, Cal
All were successes in every way.
For the present year the board of directors
are ]. A. Haskell. president; w. F. Parker,
vice president; A. C. Darrell, treasurer; T.
HI. Keller, Charles latham, A. II. Durston
and j. T. Shelley, with Elmer E. Shaner as
secretary manager.
The Interstate tournaments for the coming
season are the grand American handicap at
Chicago, June 1S to II; the eastern handf-
cap at Boston. July 16 to 1S: the western
handicap at Denver, August 20 to %, and
the Pacific coast handicap at Spokane.
