The construction OF the public golf
course at Cobb's Creek and the bringing

I this city for the second time in the his
tory of the game in this country were
the important developments during the

phia Cricket Club, in the women's nation
al at Chicago, this City'S only amateur
championship was won back in 1909 by
Miss Frances Griscom. of the Merton

was begun late in the spring. and, al
though 1t was expected that II would he

championship, while the various invita-
tion tournaments were well attended aud
kecniy fought.
