picked and all that remains TO be done
is make the final arrangements.
The Saturday after next is suggested
by the women members of the local
tteam as the most convenient date. the
singles to be played on that date in
New York and the foursomes TO be
played in Philadelphia the following
Saturday.
The match is to be in no way official
or for the championship OF anything.
simply a chance to boost the game of
golf in both cities and little outlet for
the friendly rivalry that exists between
the Gothamites and the Quakers The
teams are to be composed Of five men
| and five women, men to play the men
and women the women, in singles. and
the respective teams to pair off for four =
somes, each match counting, so much on
the grand total.
II the event is successful this year it
is likely to become yearly feature OF
the cards of the two golf associations
Of New York and Philadelphia.

| North and South champion Mrs. Clar

rather an off season this year, but who
was national finalist in 1915; Mrs. G.

thai at the national. and Mrs. Caleb F.

New York will be able to turn out q
strong team against the seemingly un-
beatable Quaker lineup, with Mrs. w

champion Mrs. Quentin Feitner, for
merly the same; Miss Beatrice Louns

days of the rain and the chill that
grips the marrow, it might be men
toned that the Women's Golf Associa
ton. Of Atlanta. Ga. is planning 8
unique tournament. an open. handicap
match play event for women, to com
mence the 9th of this month.
4 The handicap part of it is doubtless
in order that Miss Alexa Stirling
champ and peeress, will not have too
big an edge on the field or scare 'en
all off it.
Everybody down there, where the,
say the sun is at its balmiest thes'
days. is Offering prizes for the event
so there will almost be something To-
the runnerup of the beaten twos il
the last flight.
A plea is being made to get loca
golfers to go down there for the event
Newtons in Limelight
A couple of out of town golfers wh'
made their mark in matches arouut
Philadelphia that they entered in tn
season now waning, are going well owe
their own courses.

A. F. Hammer who was the tinalis

: being something to cop off seven of tn
first twelve holes.
But this is not so tough or unex
pected as the feat of Herb Newton
Whitemafsh, who climbed all the wa
up to the finals in the Shawnee tour
ney Saturday. In the morning Uncl
Herb upset all the confidence in tn
t statistics when he beat Reggie Worth
ington. over the latter's home course
Worthington was dormie two and
was not until then that Uncle Her
put on some of his old time stuff. III
r knocked off par on the seventeenth fo
e a win. but figured that wouldn't b
good enough to keep him in the mate
on the next, so he holed out in tw
shots.
They cant win much against =.
Uncle Herb was afraid WOrthngto
might get there at that. so he hi
! the pin in his tee shot in an earneS
effort to hole out in l. But the ba
rolled back three inches.
Newton finally copped the match afte
all that on the twentieth.
