Say Il With Sapphires
In Heaping Honors
On Marion Brown

Marion Brown, queen Of women's
golf around Washington this year,
will have many more parties in her
honor as her golf honors increase
in the years to come, but she'll
never get more kick out of sinking
a winning putt than she had last
night when more than 300 friends
and golfers turned out at Manor
to do honor to the blond youngster
who won the District and Middle
Atlantic championships this year.
Not the least Of the thrills which
came the way Of the 20-year -old
George Washington University stu
dent was presentation of a sapphire
bracelet and ring by her admirers,
to which Marion responded with a
gracious little speech.
Marion has had a nearly perfect
year. She won two of the three big
sectional championships this year,
and also repeated in the Manor and
Indian Spring title tournaments,
both of which she won in 1887
High spot of her competitive year
was the II she scored in winning
the mid-Atlantic final at Rodgers
Forge, beating Helen DettWeiler in
the final round. She previously had
beaten Helen in the final of the
District championship.

Harmony al Illinois
Asked by zuppke
Al Alumni Fete
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. Bob Zuppke
has crossed off his rejected resigna-
ton as University of Illinois football
coach as "a something that
was never intended to happen"
Speaking before 700 guests at the
annual Illini Club of Chicago foot
ball banquet last night. zuppke
urged Illinois Alumni to 'be big, be
loyal and forget everything" about
the resignation which was submitted
under pressure of the University
Athletic Board, but was rejected by
the Board of Trustees.
zuppke had setting of harmony
for his remarks. Athletic Director
Wendell Wilson, who had carried the
resignation to the Board of Trustees,
was not present, although he was in
Chicago. None of the veteran
coach's critics Y Is introduced.
Zuppke, with 26 years of service
at Illinois behind him, was intro
duced by Harold Red" Grange, one
OF his brightest stars, with the hope
that "Zup will have 26 more years
at illinois,"
The coach himself set at rest any
rumors of reprisals or vindictiveness
by branding purge" as "un-
Illinois"
He described his 1888 team, which
lost five games while winning three,
as a group that stretched itself
to the limit-but didn't have enough
stretch" For next season he pre-
dicted even rougher going, pointing
out that the Illini play at Southern
California early in the season.

with new hats at the annual meet
ing.
Hats, from a mans viewpoint, are
non essential. They add, to be sure,
but they aren't necessary. But hats
dominated the annual meeting to
the extent that mere male was
carried away by the profusion and
trickery of the new feminine mil
linery. I predict a successful sea-
son for the unusual hat designers
of the town. But they don't wear
'em playing golf.
A new scheme for team competi-
ton, explained by Mrs. N. j. Wal
dron, who is retiring as team cap
tain, provides that each club, in
order to enter second and third
teams in the annual matches, must
enter first teams of 10 players. This
will have to be o. KID by the new
board, Mrs. Waldron explained. On
the personal side Of the equation I
hope Mrs. Waldron will accept an
other office in the association. She
has been invaluable as a contact
between the newspapers and the
golf organization.
Appointment of Mrs. Herbert H.
Hughes as golf chairman at Ken
wood was announced. With Mrs.
Hughes will serve Mrs. Charles Vaile
as vice chairman, with Mrs. w. M.
Hoad as secretary treasurer.
More than 120 women turned out
for the annual meeting, the largest
gathering in the history of the as
ISOLATION. And the Columbia Coun-
try Club women, with their accus-
toned grace, did the thing up in
the usual Columbia style. You can't
say more.
Committee appointments will be
made later, probably in March. Mrs.
Lacey has made no decision rs to
her tournament chairman, to sue
ceed herself. She did such q swell
job in that difficult post this year
that she'll be up against it finding
some one to do as well. Wonder
what the hats will be like at the
annual meeting next year?

Straight Off the Tee
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

United under a new group of Of
flcers women golfers of Washington
looked forward today to another
successful season in 1899, even
though an almost complete turn
over in the officer personnel has
been accomplished. The women who
have served for the past three years
have resigned from the steward
ship of golf affairs in Washington,
with the single exception of Mrs.
Theodore Peyser, treasurer of the
Women's District Golf Association.
In their places have come women
taught in the same efficient school,
who will carry forward the same
ideals of sportsmanship.
Mrs. Lacey President.
Chosen at the annual meeting yes
terday at Columbia to the officer
personnel of the powerful women's
organization were: Mrs. Robert A.
Lacey, Columbia, president; Mrs.
Gale E. Pugh of Manor, first vice
president; Mrs. George c. Roney
OF Washington, second vice presi-
dent; Mrs. j. H. Bullock of Indian
Spring, secretary, and Mrs. Peyser
of Woodmont, treasurer.
Mrs. Ralph w. Payne, who has
served three-year hitch as presi-
dent of the association, during which
the activities of the feminine golf
organization have reached a new
high, will remain on the governing
board. AS Mrs. Lacey, in a grace
full little speech, pledged her every
effort to carrying forward the work
of the organization, Mrs. Payne was
reminded that she will be the guest
of the women golfers of the town
at tea at the Army Navy Country
Club at 4 pm. on December IL, a
graceful gesture that will in some
way repay the unbending efforts of
this woman who has been so instru-
mental in putting the organization
on a sound and efficient footing.
Most of the feminine golfers of the
town will gather to honor the re-
firing president on December IL.

Among the early crop of winter

that the New York Yankees, sorely

Washington's Joe Krakauskas.
But, says Clark Griffith, there's
nothing to it. They haven't made
an offer for the boy, and wouldn't

batters in 116 innings and finishing
