why, oh, why. do these accom-.
plished women golfers fall down so
abjectly around the green's? They are
pitifully inadequate on delicate, subtle
little strokes that don't require brute
force. They shine at those backbreak-

strength.
"It is sports amazing paradox,
this failure OF the feminine sex at
that gentle, dainty phase of golf

adapted to comparatively frail women.

CHICAGO, September 20. The
| CHEEKY flap of an American Associa-
ton pennant at last will be heard over
the Toledo ball park.
Breaking through crust of asso-
citation tradition and misfortune which
have passed the circuit championship
to every club in the league except
Toledo since 1900. the Mud Hens
emerged victorious in one of the
warmest races in years yesterday.
Because of its championship the
Hens will represent the association in

the international League champions,
in a nine-game series starting at
Toledo next Wednesday.

that could happen for the league.
1T Is a fine reward for the loyal
Toledo fans who have supported their

President Hickey said he was pleased
with the passing season in every way,
