Golf for Women.

I believe women get more real
pleasure out of the game than men
do. Certainly this is true in tourna
ment play. where there is little of the
somber stolidity so characteristic Of
most tournament of man players.
The attitude of men in tourney COM
petition reminds me of the story of

Excellent Pupils.
Professional golf teachers tell me
that women make excellent pupils
that they comprehend the hints given
them and remember the lessons. Wom-
en- seem to have no particular faults
or weaknesses which differentiate
them from man players. The common
est fault have observed is that they
do not do the backward swing well
and as a result they finish with the
toe of the club pointing upward in
stead of downward. This seems to be
caused by a loss Of control over the
wrists which may be due to made
quate wrist strength. but this certain
ly can be overcome by practice and
exercise of care. To correct it the
player should make her backward
swing more slowly than has been her
idea of having the downstroke follow
the same arc of the circle that her
backward swing has made. 1t is i'm
portant that this fault be overcome

FINE OPENING FOR LAUREL.
Billy Kelly Wins Capital Handicap
Before Big Crowd.

Remodeled, glistening under fresh
paint and artistically decorated. Laurel
Park, now one Of the country's pref
test race couses, threw open it's gates
yesterday upon the Maryland state
fairs annual fall meeting of twenty
seven days. From New York. Balti-
more and this city the lovers of the
thoroughbreds trickled into southern
Maryland for the occasion, but dark,
menacing clouds, chilly twang to the
air and intermittent showers somewhat
n1arred the inaugural.
A horse race from the start and clf-
NAKED by q stirring finish, in which
the great little Billy. Kelly trimmed
Papp by q half length, with Charlie
Leydecker close up in third position,
the Capital handicap of $4,000, for
three-year-olds and up, served fitting
ly as the stellar event of the opening
program.
The extensive improvements at
Laurel made q decided hit with the
patrons, who showered much praise
upon the new management for show
ing utter disregard for expense in
its efforts to make the park one of
comfort and beauty. The specializing
emporium has been changed around
considerably. There is new covered
concrete walk from the trains to the
entrance, with ported flowers setting
1t on artistically. The clubhouse is
entirely new and its interior speaks
well of the excellent judgment and
taste of the designer.

White SOx DEFEAT NOT
WORST IN WORLD SERIES

The defeat Of the White Sox by the
Reds yesterday, 9 to 1. was not tho
worst defeat ever sustained by a
world series contender. That eight
run margin separating the Reds and
White Sox has been surpa ssed three
times and equaled once in series Of
previous years.
The Giants of 1911 sustained the
worst defeat, computed from the
standpoint of runs separating the
winner and loser at the close of
game. The Athletics won the sixth
and deciding game of the 1911 series
at Shibe Park by the,score of 10 to 2.
TIE third game Of the 1905 series
between the same teams resulted in
victory for the Giants by the score
of to 0. Another defeat by a nine
run margin occurred in the 100?
series. the Boston Red Sox defeating
Pittsburgh in the fifth game by the
score of II to g
The defeat which ranks on even
terms was the shut-out which Babe
Adams pitched in the deciding game
of the 1909 series between the Pirates
and Tigers, Pittsburgh winning, to
Q. Seven-run defeats were scored by
the Giants over the Red Sox, II to 4.
in 1912, and by the Mackmen over
the Cubs, IL to 5. in 1910.
