Mrs. Harry D. Hammond.

Mrs. Harry D. Hammond, cham pion of Indiana and the premier golfer of Indianapolis, recently att tained the greatest triumph of her career by winning the women's west esn golf championship at Chicago. Mrs Hammond has played golf twelve years and made her first try for the western title in 1912. Since that time she has improved steadily and is now one of the best golfers the west has produced.
 Mrs. Hammond's victory came as a fitting climax to a week of golf in which she was the most consistent of any of the contestants. She is of rangy build, has an excellent style, and her nerve is indicated by the fact that she is not afraid to tell her real age.
 The former champion who was vanquished by Mrs Hammond was Mrs Fred s. Colborn of Chicago.
