WOMEN GOLFERS OF CITY BEST
IN COUNTRY; MEN ONLY FAIR
Curious but True Also That Women Tennis Players of Pbade-
phia Are only Mediocre While Men Players Hold
Highest RGnk--SOme of the Local Experts.

are comparatively few who have attained
any prominence at all in the golf world
1t is more than probable that II the best
IL were picked from local golf, country
and cricket clubs most any other city
could defeat them without half trying.
In the matter of tennis. the exact re-
reverse Is true Take r. Norris Williams

Joseph Thayer. Alex Thaxer. Ed Thayer.
DIR. 70. B. Dewhurst, ]. r. Carpenter, S.
w. Pearson and Craig Bddle and pit
them against a field of players from any
other city in the country. The result
would be a series of overwhelming VIC
tories for the Philadelphians. New York
city would probably be second.
Naturally the entire State OF CalIfor-
MIA could select dozen players that
would defeat the Philadelphia men, but
San Francisco could not do 1t, nor could
Los Angeles. In the same way 1t is
highly improbable that any city in the
world could select a dozen players to
beat these Philadelphians. Christchurch,
New Zealand, Melbourne, Sydney and
Queenstown, Australia, have many ex-
perts with the racket, but without COM
bining forces. any one of them would be
up against very difficult proposition in
attempting to defeat this dauntless dozen.
allsts. William ]. Clothier has won fame
in number of Davis Cup matches, be-
sides having been national champion. r.
Norris Williams defeated Maurice Nc
Lcughlin last summer at Newport for the
American title. He was formerly clay
court champion, also, until he gave that
game up to play exclusively on turf,
Last summer Williams, who, by the way,
is Titanic survivor, was a member OF
the American Davis Cup team. Wallace
Johnson, though defeated last Saturday
for the State title by ]. ]. Armstrong,
Jr, is great player when at his best.
In 1912 he was runner-up for the national
title, forcing Mclaughlin to go the limit
of five sets to win. He has been an
alternate on the American Davis Cup
team.
While Miss Agnes Kennedy, Mrs. Gil
bert Harvey and Miss e. Hensel are good
tennis players. they cannot rank with the
best In the country, nor can any other
one or more women OF Philadelphia COM
pare with such lawn tennis experts as
Mrs George Wightman, Miss Mary
Browne and the famous Sutton sisters.
AS for comparison OF the local women
tennis players with Miss Molla Bjurstedt,
who recently won the American title at
the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the local
women are Outelassed.

Yet our men tennis players eat 'em up

It is remarkable fact that Philadei-
phia could produce If necessary dozen
women golf players who could successful-
ly hold their own against dozen women
from any other community, while nearly
any other section of the country could
gather together the same number OF men
players and defeat the Philadelphians with
ridiculous ease.
On the other hand, there is not city
in the land which could corral dozen
male tennis players to stand up against
the racket wielders of Philadelphia. but
Philadelphia women lawn tennis aspirants
are sadly lacking In efficiency and would
be easy prey for the cream of New York.
Boston, Los Angeles or most any other
community in which women attempt to
attain proficiency on the courts. This
curious state of affairs exists, of course
only among the amateurs. professionals
being left out of the consideration en-
tirelv.
Recently the women golfers Of Philadel-
phia played a three-cornered match with
the pick of best women golfers that could
be gotten together in New York and Bos-
ton. The result was a sweeping local vic
tory This proves conclusively where
Quaker City women golfers stand with
reference to those OF other communities,
because, excepting Philadelphia, Boston
and New York not only have more women
golfers than any other cities in this coun-
try, but have hetter performers.
With no attempt to rank the local wom-
en- golfers, the following group comprises
a dozen players that would give any
other dozen women in the country bat

Barlow, Miss Eleanor Chandler, Mrs. c.

that this force of 100000 men could
be mobilised and concentrated TO
meet such an attack and to check
the invasion for such time as might
be required to get the citizen sol.
diery mustered and give them three
months training, by which time
they could be used to supplement
the regular army force.
The objection urged to the con-
tinental army plan Is that II does
not meet the need of a competent
force which could be quickly mob
ilized. The federal militia which Is
planned would be excellent for q
second line defense. but could not
be mustered quickly to meet an
emergency. say the experts.
An effort will be made In con.
gress to urge the advantages OF
some modification Of the Swiss sys'
tenn. which would certainly be su
perior to the continental army plan

ages Of the present militia system

over II, except In the one respect
that the men are under federal an.
