and that It would not give them enough
time to get into condition for the tourna.
ment
The women won their point, as the ma.
tional association naturally was anxious to
| select date that would suit the women
| players. Some Of the officials at the time
stated that they wished the women would
have a national organization of their own
and this they thought would be the best
solution Of the problem.
Had the women done as the men sug-
gested there would be no discussion this
year as to whether there would be title
or net. Most of the women feel that as they
are taking no part In the war other than
through the Red Cross there is no really
good reason why the title should not be
awarded. But inasmuch as the ". S. G. A.
conducts the women's golf championship
and is 1t was announced earlier in the year
that no championships would be awarded
there Is very little likelihood that the
executive committee of the u. s. G.. A.
will make any change in the announced
plans.
Three in State But Only One Played
For the first time in the history of the
sport in this country the three big golf
events went to Pennsylvania this year. OF
these only the patriotic open event has been
played, with Whitemarsh as the scene of 1t.
The amateur championship slated for the
Oakmount Country Club has been Cancelled
after the Pittsburgh Club told the u. S. G.
A. that 1t would be unwise to hold the tour
nament at the club. So the only thing left
Is the women's championship without a title
and whether this will be held will be event.
ually determined by the women themselves
While Philadelphia golfers have not fig
ured very prominently in national golf this
city has furnished two national golf cham
pions in Miss Frances Griscom and Mrs
Clarence II. Vanderbeck. Three others have
been national finalists, Mrs. Ronald II.
Barlow, twice, and Mrs. Caleb T. Fox and
Miss j. Mildred Caverly once Miss Girls
com won 1t way back in 1900. Mrs. Van
derbeck captured II for the second time in
1915 and at the same time she won the
qualifying round for the low score, incl
dentally setting up new record for the On
wentsa course, where the tournament was
played.
Mrs. Barlow was pronounced fayorite
for the title in 1912. but was not equal to II.
and Miss Margaret Curtis won it for the
third time. Mrs. Barlow was the flnaIist
also in 1909 over the old Merton course
when Miss Dorothy Campbell. now Mrs
Hurd, won It, In 1899 at the Philade,nb,a
Country Club Mrs. Fox lost the final TO Miss
Ruth Underhil. "'

FTNHE Feds have passed on and out-have
l. drifted from the scene. But Fed ghosts
still annoy the National League-or at least
they still remain to haunt the circuit.
Last year Hal Chase led the National

those who toiled under the Fed flag to the
last. This was something in the nature of
a shock

below his Fed rival. Benny Kauff, is hang

carry him to the crest before october.
Benny isn't out of the running yet, al
though Roush holds n commanding lead. It
would be a queer turn if Kauff after all,
should come back to lead the circuit and
maintain the same place he held in the Fed
corral for two campaigns.
He has proved at least that he was a
.3oo hitter, even if he doesn't overtake the

BY PETER PUTTER

THERE has been lot Of talk about the
women's national golf championship
which has been slated for the Shawnee Coli
Club the first week in April. 1t was stated
several days ago that the championship
would not be held because Miss AIexa Stir.
ling, the present champion, would not be
able TO play IT has been said that there
would be tournament. but that IL would
not involve any title and that Miss Stirling,
ike Chick Evans, would keep her title until
the end or the war. Others have said that
there would be no tournament of any sort.
as the women did not feel like contestinE
IN tourney where there was nothing at
stake. ~
Some time ago there was appointed a
women's committee to take up the whole
matter The chairman is Miss Fannie
Osgood and the other members are Miss
Eleanor Chandler, of this city; Miss stir
