Irish team in which she was included
by birth" qualification.
With more practice and experience
Miss Rosamund Sherwood will soon
become orc Of Americas strongest
represeu h .atives. At times her play is
of such a high standard that 1t is DIFF
ficult to believe she has only been
playing for three years.
Miss Ada Mackenzie. ex-champion
Of Canada, is player whose capa-
bilities many opponents might un-
derestimate. AS fighter she has
few equals, and Canadian players are
fortunate in having as their leader a
golfer whose keennesss. evenness Of
temperament and delightful sporting
outlook are an example for every
young golfer to copy.
Another young golfer who must be
included in the American players is
Miss Kemp, now residing in France.
She made her first appearance In
the ladies' open championship this
year but was already known to the
many British players who competed
in the ladies' championship Of France
at lie Touquet last year. Miss Kemp
is a philosophical golfer, and this trait
will undoubtedly assist her to make
a name for herself In the near future.
Like all Americans. her kindness and
hospitality are proverbial. and those
Of us who took part in the ladies'
championship of France at Fontaine-
bleau this year will never forget the
kindness extended to us by her and
her father.
Fine Play by American Champion.
While at Fontainebleau we British
competitors were given a further op-
portunfty Of meeting the overseas
players on the course and socially. 1t
was there that Miss Stirling achieved
what most people consider her great
est success on the "other side" In the
medal round preceding the champion
ship she returned a scratch score OF
10, three strokes better than the sec
ond best. The strength of the field
and the difficulty of the .course on
that particular day must be taken into
consideration before the excellence OF
this performance can be thoroughly
appreciated.
Space will not allow me 10 say al
/ should like about the remainder OF
the overseas competitors; but this ar
ticle would not be complete without
some reference to the beautiful style
of Mrs. Teitner. She was one of the
last American survivors in the event
and would have gone even further had
she been able to seize the opportuni-
ties offered to her: but unfortunately
Mrs. Feitner was not playing up to her
usual form that day. The names OF
Mrs. Thruston Wright, Miss ElSins
Miss Fownes. the Misses Alice and
Lucy Hanchett are all we'll known in
British golfins circles and the many
friends they have made "over there
are looking forward to their return
next year.
Our presence In America is the re-
suit of the cordial invitations extend
ed to us by the overseas competitors
we met at Turnberry. During our
visit we hope to see many courses
and many players. 1t is always in
teresting to study the methods adopt
ed by others and to play over strange
courses.
After the American competitors
were defeated In the European events
they Immediately became spectators
and we're among the most interested
members OF the crowd. This keen
friendly international spirit is to be
encouraged. as II Is doing more than
anything else to improve the standard
of play.
SO far l have been denied the op-
portunity OF seeing the American
amateurs and professionals play, but
the accounts ] have heard from 9TH
ers have made me anxious to see those
whose wonderful performances are
known all over the world.
