The winner of the Philadelphia team
cup, which is virtually emblematic of the
womens team championship of Philadel-
phia, will be decided at st. Martins to-
day when the Merton Cricket Club, pres
ent holder of the trophy, plays the Phila
delphia Cricket Club. At present these
two teams are tied, both having won all
their matches to date. At the conclusion
of the matches tonight, arrangements will
be made by Miss II. Ethel Maule, secre-
tary of the Women's Golf Association,
for the playing off of such ties as may
result. Ties will be played oft on Thurs
day.
On Friday tho last team in the Phila-
delphla team cup competition will play the
winner of the suburban cup, and the
last team in the suburban upscontest
plays the winner of the Wallingford cup.
These matches will take place on neutral
courses, and are for the purpose of de-
Gliding whether or not the winners of the
suburban cup and Wallngford cup are
strong enough to advance into the more
important competitions. The schedule of
today's matches follows:

A most unusual golf event will be held
at the Philmont Country Club tomorrow.
Several years ago mixed foursomes re-
ceiVed but little attention. the men golfers
seeming so engrossed with their own
game that they had no time for the
women golfers. So advanced have the
latter become in recent years that today
there is no more popular event than the
mixed foursomes.
Several weeks ago Ellis A. Gimbel,
president of the Philmont Country Club,
sent out invitations for a mixed four
some tournament and to date close to
100 acceptances have been received. Little
Miss Elaine Rosenthal, of the Ravisloe
Golf Club, Chicago, runner-up to Mrs.
Arnold III. Jackson for the women's ma
tional championship last year, will be
among the out-of-town players, while
hardly local player of any distinction
will be absent Six prizes will be given
by Mr.. Gimbel, two for low net score,
two for low gross score and two to the
partnership making the greatest number
of holes in par, or better. A dinner-dance
will follow.

cap, 10; net, 70. On Saturday last Pot

around in 92. and withdrew. 1t so hap
pened that Thomas finished his round
early in the afternoon. so went out again
and beat his qualification score by a
mere 20 strokes. This sterling golfer has
