EnuIish Woman Great Golfer

Golhng England was all het up over
the battle OF the sexes which culmin-
ated in a golf match between II. H.,
Hilton and Miss Cecile Leitch at Y
holes. and when the rivals met for
the first half on Walton Heath and
for the last half at Sunningdale they
were followed by an immense gallery
Hilton. an ex-open champion, is one
of the finest golfers in England. and
Miss Leitch is considered the best OF
her sex; hence the match was gener-
ally admitted a fine test OF the re-
spective merits of the sexes.
Hilton CALAMITY allowed his fair
competitor halt stroke per hole and
although the English newspapers de-
vote a great deal OF space TO photo
graphs OF the competitors and a
description of the various shots, they
fail TO tell who Won. which, by the
way We consider rather important,
don't Won know, on this side
Instead. lot Of perfectly good
space was wasted with descriptions
telling how Miss Leitch drove AS
yard hole in two strokes. using driver
and brassie and actually passing the
hole in the second shot.

style of the game MAJ PieXotto says.

The game of 100 minutes is one Of
its appropriate names. II Is So called
because Ct its consisting OF four %
minute periods. Seemingly one-half is
taken out OF the book Of Australian
rules by our own football solons, mas
