ter, read by MRS. PAYNE. from
MRS. WRIGHT D. GOSS, mem.
Der of the women'S committee
Of the U. S. G. A. MRS. GOSS
acknowledged CongreSSionalS in
vitation to the u. S. G.. A. to
play the 1899 National Women's
Amateur championship over its
course, and reported that a rec
Ommendation had been pre-.
Sented to the U. S. G. 4. execu-
tive committee on which 1t
would act in November.
MRS. GOSS did not disclose
the name of the club recon-
mended by the women's com.
mittee, but from the tone of
the letter, it appeared fairly
certain that Congressional has
the inside track over the four
or five other clubs throughout
the country which have put in
bids for the National, among
them Five Farms, of Baltimore,
Should Congressional hold the
1899 event. one thing is certain
not even a PATTY BERG could
turn in a decent tournament
score over the championship lay
out, which can be extended tc
more than 1000 yards. Un
doubtedly the red markers will
be placed at the front of the
championship tees.
Incidentally, Congressional has
installed some extremely deco
rative new markers on the back
tees - duckpins painted a bril-
liant red.
The Army and Navy swept
yesterdays Presidents Plate
event, MRS. GEORGE HUSSEY
having her choice of low gross
and low net with 88-6-82. She
chose low net, since that was the
major honor of the tournament

accomplished what she has been
trying to do ever since she
started playing golf in the Dis
trict-She won her first gross
trophy in Washington competi
ton with 89-7-82.
MRS. JOHNSON'S card was
something to marvel at. She shot
q so on the out nine, then came
home in SO. Her regular game
lies in between those two fig
ures, but yesterday MRS. JOHN
SON said her recent pro lessons
from ALLAN BURTON of Army
Navy were just beginning tc
work when she hit the tenth
tee.

lures conceived in the fertile
minds of radio publicity men
Several are bathing suit studies
taken for what purpose HELEN

best of all, however, is a still in
which TILLIE, the prize zoe
