Has Strong Group Now.

RUT the situation is different now
We have around WASHINGTON to-
day group of girl golfers who teven
though they aren't winning national
Championships can hold their own in
any fast links company.
There's no question about the fact
that women's golf hereabout has i'm
proved to point where it takes much
lower scoring nowadays to win than
10 years ago. In fact womens golf
around the Capital has speeded up far
beyond the improvement among the
| male golfers.
Led by girls like Helen Dettweller,
Ellen Kincaid and Marion Brown and
matrons like Middle Atlantic Cham
plon Betty P. Meckley, Mrs. Char
lotte Stern and Mrs. Walter r,
Stokes. the caliber of golf among tile
fair sex around Washington has i'm
proved so much that scores which
would have won tournaments 10 years
ago don't place in the first Is.
Competition has done it; that
and the spur of many tourna-
ments and the human desire to
become as good as the other
person.
The women maShie Wielders of the
Capital are supreme in their own
sector. They've whipped the women
OF Baltimore and Richmond There
isn't any competition around Nor
folk or in nearby Virginia, and now
they're cunning for bigger game.
They'll find it in Philadelphia
team headed by Glenna Collett Ware,
but still they think they can get along
pretty we'll with their work against
any team.
Furthermore, move now is on foot
| to establish in the mid-Atlantic area
| series of team matches between
Washington, Baltimore, Richmond
and Norfolk similar to the Griscom
Cup matches in which the women of
Philadelphia, Boston and New York
| compete.
If that is achieved this year it
will amount to a sectional team
championship.
In that case the local girls would
need to pull their punches. They
definitely are better than any opposi-
ton that can be gotten together in this
immediate area.

ACTION LOOMS ON
 COMMITTEE POSTS
Democratic Town Mem. bers to Vote on Lists for
 Available Places

Action on majority of the va. cancies in the Democratic town committee is expected at a meeting tonight at which recommendation of district conferences will be sub- mitted.
 While Chairman John H. Crary was not certain whether all of the district candidates would be under consideration, he said that he an- ticipated that the committee will vote on lists of those presented for most of the IF places made avail- able by the increase from 20 to 32 of the voting districts, thus, the town committee membership.
 Members of the committee have held series of meetings during the past three weeks. Lists of candidates for places on the committee have been presented by many groups in the 32 districts and these have been under consideration.
 While it is known that the XOana Democrats and the younger ele- ment of the party are due for rec ognition, no names have been forth- coming from the committee chair man or members. A number of pos. abilities have been mentioned, however, indicating that the en- larged committee will have general representation from the more potent groups of voters.

 Their engagement was announced last night at dinner party at the Clark home here. The announcement by Mrs. F. Haven Clark came less than 24 hours after she and her daughter had denied persistent ru- mors of an engagement
 Miss Clark and her mother this morning were to greet Sally's sister, the former Anne Lindsay Clark, and John Roosevelt at Boston on their return from a Bermuda honeymoon. Sally was maid of honor at their June wedding, which was attended by President and Mrs. Roosevelt
 Miss Clark declared she will con- tinue her singing career, began last month, despite her marriage.

 BE DISCUSSED
Public Hearing Tonight on Proposal By Alderman
 Joseph Reiner

Public hearing will be held to- night at city hall on the second proposal of Republican Alderman Joseph Reiner for adoption of an ordinance restricting the establish ment of liquor or-serving and llquor- selling places within prescribed areas.
 Defeated in his first attempt to have the board of aldermen sanc- ton marking of 1000 feet between taverns, cafes, package stores and hotels purveying liquor, Alderman Reiner's current proposal lessens the restriction distance to 750 feet
 Another change in the proposal is the doubling of the time, from 30 to 60 days, by which a concern whose license was revoked for any reason, might be banned from further business if 1t remained closed over the stipulated period.
 Party lines failed the last time the proposed ordinance was sub mitted to the aldermen, with gen. eral discussion current about the effects of such zoning in the local ity of Exchange place where, 1t wa; cited, adoption of the ordinance would penalize property owners from renting space within a wide area to liquor firms.
 Consideration of the matter of the number of liquor-purveying places in Waterbury determined that many favored lessening fo the number of permit-holders but were against the method provided by the ordinance.

 past few days Is centering around the battle for the Republican nomination for high sheriff. It appears to be more than likely that the convention will be dead locked on this highly coveted post, with Harry Morse, E. R. Kaiser and Ernest Novey split ting the delegates to such an extent that noe one of the three will be nominated on the first ballot, in which case a compro- mise candidate would be offered.
 The campaign which Novey, former mayor of Torrington, in- stigated a few months ago, has apparently slowed up, although learn that he is still conducting a vigorous campaign by contact ing town committee members of the various towns, in an attempt to get them to use their influ- ence in lining up delegates who will be friendly toward him.
 E. R. Kaiser, first selectman may not enter a contest for the high sheriff nomination. He may not even attempt to secure the nomination for Senator. It comes to me that Kaiser will watch out for his state central committee post.
 Harry Morse has considerable weight with some of the leaders of the country, but I have found this strength scattered to q great extent. Chauncey Hutchins, the uncrowned mayor of Harwinton, is the campaign manager for Morse.
 Hutchins alignment with Morse may not do him much good, as Hutchoins has always been con- sidered an Old Guard member, and from indications in the county I would not be surprised If . rift appeared at the RepubIi- can convention between the Old Guard factions and the Younger element.
 William "S file t" Johnson. Thomaston's representative to the 1897 General Assembly, is facing bitter opposition within his party for renomination. There are many Republican members in the clock town who are not friendly to- ward Johnson's renomination. They point out that Johnson secured nothing for the town while a mem- Der of the legislature. He present. ed one bill, that was deriment to the people of the town. He was SILENT all during the session. He voted on bills which were not In sympathy with the working class.
 This feeling can be found among friends of George Dewell as well, for there are many in the town who will tell you that Johnson worked against Dewell who ran for the school board as a Democrat after being dropped as Repub- lican candidate. Johnson worked hard against Dewell in an attempt to effect his defeat, but he failed. Dewell was elected to the school board. Now Dewell's friends. which are many, are after John son this fall.
