When they first announced an
intention of going abroad to play
in the British ladies' championship
expectation, that they would test
their skill against the girl who is
accepted as the worlds greatest
feminine golfer-Joyce Wethered.
Since then. however, the tall
pleasant English girl has emerged
from retirement that has been
generally regretted since she an
nounced it in 1925. That year at
Troon. Miss Wethered had her only
experience with Americas queen Of
clubs-Glenna COllett.
Their meeting produced,
think. the greatest round ever
Wethered won by up and 3
to play, in spite of the fact
that Glenna played at four over
even fOurs for IS holes!
To have played so brilliantly over
tortuous Troon. only to have the
effort blighted by defeat. was
enough to rend the heart of even q
courageous linkswomen like Miss
Collett. The fire Of the British git
that day was withering. She
shadowed the great work of her
Yankee rival by playing at even
fours! Glenna. undoubtedly, played
inspired golf. Never before or since
has she been able to match the
power of her game that day.
Miss Wethered, l am told. has
improved her game and, if that is
true, the hopes of the American girls
this year at St Andrews would seem
beyond realization.
Miss Wethered has strengthened
her game - constant association
with first-class male players. Ex-
cept in mixed foursomes, she seldom
is seen playing against a member of
her own sex. 1t Is only against the
finest among the gentlemen of Eng
land that she is able to test the
mettle of her woods and irons.

On the Eden course, a smaller lay
out than st. Andrews, but neverthe-
less a fine test of golf, Miss Weth-
cred played round with her brotn tner
Roger, who was once British am A.
teur champion, and Eddie Haley, of
Williams College. who played so
we'll that year in the British anna
teur. Miss Wethered defeated thcm
both. Haley shot rs, Roger 73. and
Joyce Il.
Later on that same day Miss
Wethered played over the great st.
Andrews course where Jones had
just set his remarkable record OF
286 for Y holes. Joyce had seen
the Georgian perform and had IN.
stantly became a worshiper at his
shrine. 1t was said afterward that
she changed her style somewhat TO
conform to the reigning American
model.
Following in the footsteps of
her new-fOund golf hero, Joyce
recorded score of 76. Only
those who have even seen or
played over st. Andrews can
appreciate the caliber of the
golf she must have played.
If either GIenna Collett of Mau
reen Orcutt can prevail against Miss
Wethered on this same st. Andrews
course next month. she will not only
astonish the golfing world, but en-
hance her reputation many fold.

bic, but recently he has failed
to show very well against big
league pitching.
Johnny may develop into a good
batter, but it is doubtful if he ever
will be able to slam out long
drives with pleasing regularity.
On the other hand. Cullop is a
long distance hitter. He is liable to
slam out a triple or home run
any time he steps to the plate and
that's the kind of hitter Robbie
needs In center field. He did not
have a player capable of knocking
out extra base hits covering that
position last year.
