N0v1CE's AMUSING REMARK
BY n. l.. FITZPATRICK.

A semi-final round marked the play
in the women's golf championship tour
nament this morning at the Chevy Chase
Club The first pair to drive off were
Miss Marion Oliver, a Washington girl
and Mrs T. H. Polhemus of Brooklyn
Ten minutes later Mrs. c. F. Fox of
Philadelphia and Miss Kate Harley of
Fall River left the tee. There were on
lockers after each match, and not all
Of them were dyed-in-the- wool golfers
One stranger convulsed the officials by
a remark he made after studying the
score board. 1t holds a diagram con-
tanning the names of the players, the
scores of each of the qualifying rounds
| and the results of the matches The
numerals run from IS after Miss Har-
riot Curtis name to 113.
"Ah." the non-golfer remarked as he
pointed to the figures. These no doubt
are the weights of the ladies'"
Miss Oliver is an effective but some
what erratic golfer, for she Is as often
In the lawn tennis courts or on horse
back as on the links, and has never made
the Scotch game a specially. She has
played for several years and knows every
stroke SO her friends felt sure that Miss
oliver would rise to the occasion this
forming.
She will win on her courage" her

Her opponent. Mrs. Polhemus is tall
and graceful: Her style is good and the

Missy Kate Harley possesses three

She is good on long iron shots and a very
reliable putter. Miss Harley has twice
before been in the semi of the ma
tional contest, losing each time to the

Prominent in Golf.
No woman has been more prominent
In golf than Mrs. Caleb F. Fox. She
gained fame on her first appearance in
the championship of 1890 by putting out
the titleholder for three years, Miss
Beatrix Hoyt. and by being the runner
up to the winner of the year. Miss Ruth

experience of an air trip. The heavy
winds which mar this sport in the east
will not bother US here, and the pas
sengers will feel absolutely safe and free
to enjoy the view. Then we are pre-
pared to take those who wish to make
short flight on trips to Pasadena or
Riverside making an ascent of two,
three or more hours, rs they may wish.
I'VE have figured this out as CONNER
cially practicable and, in addition, we
think it will be excellent advertising
for Los Angeles. Later on we shall
take up the building of a combined
aeroplane and balloon on original ideas
devised by Capt Mueller, and when we
are prepared to do this we shall extend
our service to longer trips. 1t will be
practicable then to establish gas sta
lions between here and San Diego, and
offer a trip which will be one of the
greatest novelties in the world. But
before we do that we want to demon
strate that ballooning in California is
the greatest sport in the world and
safer than riding on any street-bound
vehicle

As a result of recent experiments in
Los Angeles a company has been or

advertising features of aerial naviga-
ton in Southern California. 1t will
start in comparatively small way,
making safe pleasure trips for short
distances, using the balloon American.
Later it will go into airship construc-
ton, and it hopes eventually to estab-
fish a assenger-carrying line between
Los Angeles and San Diego.
Although the California Aeronautic
company, as it is called, will incor-
porate, none of its stock win be for
sale. Its officers assert that the stock
jobbing feature is entirely absent from
their plans.

"Of all places where ballooning and

this.
