SIXTY WOMEN TO
TRY FOR GOLF TITLE
Small But Good Field Will
Play in Championship at
Belmont Spring.
FEW BOSTON ENTRIES

Just sixty names are on the list Of
entries for the womcn's national golf
championship. which will be played next
week on the course Of the Belmont Spring
Country Club at waverly. Mass. near
Boston. The list was announced yester-
day by Howard +. whitney. secretary Of
the United States Golf Association. The
number Is far below the high weter
mark set last year at Onwentsia, when
there were li9 entries. but one reason for
the big number then was that the tourney
had not been sent West for a number
OF years and nearly every woman golfer
for miles around seised the opportunity
to try for the title.
1t was expected that the Boston women
would do much the same thing this year.
but they failed to live UP to expectations
and only a handful sent In their names.
Their apathy Is puzzling to the officials OF
the United States Golf Association. The
small group of Boston entrants was re-
duced at the last momen yesterday
when the Misses Margaret and Harriet
Curtis, who between them nave won four
national championships. sent word by
telegraph to withdraw their names. Nc
