National Golf Play;
Record List at Start

With a round dozen players from
outside the boundaries OF the United
States competing in the yearly Wo-
mans National Golf Championship,
which started this morning at the
Wilmington Country Club. the tourn-
nament took on a deeper interna-
tional cast than has ever been accord
ed a title struggle here. The qualify
ing round began this morning and
play will continue until late this after
noon.
Three OF the four British entrants
are strong enough to carry the cup
home with them. while two OF three Of
the Dominion of Canada players. at
least. are of dangerous calibre The
chances, therefore, are more than
ever that for a third time within five
years the honor will go abroad.

skies that later gave way to sunshine
but the wind rose steadily during the
morning, and al noon was causing

starting list numbers 76. the largest
for six seasons Heavy rains within
forty-eight hours have left the course
with its clay understrata so wet as
to make low scoring difficult, vet To-
cal sharks declare records will be
shattered this week
