To be sure, this intrepid Individual
made the statement some thirty
years years ago. and he went on
to say that they never will last
two rounds of a long course in a
day; nor can they ever hope to defy
the wind and weather encountered
on the links, even in spring and
summer, and, temperamentally, the
strain will be too great for them"
When asked regarding the forma-
ton of a woman's association, this
pessimist (who, by the way. was
former national champion) said: MY
advice is. don't. Women never have
and never can unite to push any
scheme to success. They are bound
to fall out and quarrel on the small
est or no provocation; they are built
that way. They will never go
through one championship with
credit Tears will bedew the green.
The first championship will be the
last. unless l and others are greatly
mistaken"

were mistaken! How different is
present-day WOmen's golf from
that of thirty.five years ago. when =.

The history Of the emancipation
OF womens golf is due as much to
clothing as anything else, and the
revolution in this line Is probably
more striking than the game itself
The modern girl of today can read
with horror and contempt OF the
golf costumes Of thirty years ago.
To begin with there was the
sailor hat perched on the top OF

glazed collar that held the neck as

The rock is strictly saltwater

yearly to nose up into fresh water

do not tarry any great length of
time, showing their preference for
the briny deep. 1t is only a por-
ton of the smaller clan that linger
on, that is, fish around pan size.
The rockfish or striped bass. So

eight black longitudinal lines on

The Bureau of Fisheries have
record of 38 900 pounds being land

Among them were about 500 fish
that averaged sixty pounds each,

roe of one fish weighed forty-four
