Shields took up golf less than four

the big, tall tennis star happened IL
have a remarkable pair of hands, a
loose -jointed body and fine sense OF

President Professional Golfers Association.
n yEW YORK, January 8.-One of
N the most notable developments
" during 1885 was the tremen-
d douS increase of woman
golfers. 1t is safe to predict that with
a definite upturn in business condi-
tions and serious application of the
teaching efforts of professionals to
woman players, We can look for the
development of some outstanding
players of championship caliber
within the next two years.
The most remarkable individual per-
formance of 1885 was the play of Sam
Parks. jr, in the national open cham
pionship. The winning of this event
by such youngSter and comparative
newcomer to tournament golf, together
with the winning of the P. G. A. title
by Johnny Revolta, another of the
younger boys, has stirred up much
keen rivalry and enthusiasm among
the younger professionals. Thus our
veterans must produce their best to
hold their places.

of the game of the present amateur

that amateur golf fast will raise it
