Such a thing has been talked of for several years, but it remained for Mrs, Don Moore, Earlington women’s captain, to do something. Of course, she bad to have her desire—a women’s city champlonship— 0, Kod by the arlington directorate, but that was easy. Frank Atkins, the club captains got busy with the telephone, and Yesterday afternoon he announced that the Black River course would not only be thrown open to every lady golfer in King county who wished to compete in the championship play, the 18-22 June week, but that the Earlington Golf and Country club would donate a handsome silver cup to the winner, and President Frank Ryan a prise to the runner-up, The opening play, on Monday, June 18, will be a qualifying round of 18 holes, and the 16 low scorers will continue on eliminat: mateh play of 18 holes each round. The finals to be played on Friday, dune 22, will also be of 18 holes travel, With such a galaxy of topnoteh players, such as Mrs. Jackson, Miss Tidmarsh, Mrs. Young, Mrs. Hotchki Miss Farrell, Mrs, Cary and o host of other equally well known names of Seattle's fair links’ performers, that June week at Earlington gives promise of bringing t a large field of starters, and there will undoubtedly be keen competition In many of the matebes.

Yes!) Why wasn't he? We would like to know and 90, also, would hundreds of golfers in the Pacifie Northwest. Eastern reports state that Walter Hagen, when asked by Bob Gardner, the team captain, named Dr. 0. F. Willing as the best ama- teur in these parts. The Portland medico is undoubtedly a great golfer, but Bon Stein is better, The records show that the Seattle lad has gone farther in the major events than Hagen's choice, Willing did not survive the first round in last year’s Pacific Northwest championship where Stein went on to the finals, In the Panch Bowl tournament and the State Championship the brand of golf put up by young Stein proved beyond a doubt that he was second only to the great George Von Elm in Northwest golfdom. dack Neville, of San Francisco, a very good golfer, ts also on the Walker cup team roster, but it is doubtful if he will be in the line- up when the final selection is made, Somehow Jack er seems to hit his true form when he comes North to compe Northwest meets, but, nevertheless, his doings in his home state lately show he is at his best. Dr. Willing and duck Neville will hold their own with the best of them but, according to the book, Bon Stein should at least have been tendered—an invitation. Dr. R. W. Perry, scoring a net of 67, easily led the Chapin cup qualifying field at the North End tinks last Saturday. Among those who failed to get into the 16-man draw were such well known shooters as Bon Stein, Sam Russell and Gerald Shannon. “Dixie” Fleager, another top-notcher, just nosed under the wire, The following is the draw with the net qualifying scores of the players included: Upper Half—Dr. R.
