His Golf Girl
By NJ. J. PHILLIPS
Copyright. 1910. By Associated Literary Pies,

Richard Coniston was in love with
n picture. He who had travelled
thrice around the world and seen the
famous beauties Of many lands was
irresistibly attracted by wholesome
American girl outlined on n calendar.
The picture was evidently from a
photograph. The girl stood in the
foreground. slenderly graceful and
vigorous. a smile on her winsome
face. She was poised in the act OF
swinging a golf club on a little white
ball In the background was fine

whIskers. two OF three caddies and
some lookers-on.
Coniston. young and rich. had set

restlessness. lie felt that at least he
must see her.

Some days later he reached the

rules adopted which have, however, been modi

the national championships have always been
played at Newport Il. /. A number Of English
players have frequently taken part In these
championship games, with marked success az

play developed along national lines. These
may be summed up under these heads: The screw
service whereby the BAH is made to curve in It's
downward flight, like the "out drop" OF base
