Senior Women's Golf

Men who like a sport--whether dicing, sculling or tossing quoits --when they are young, like it until they are old and too gouty to stir, but women often lay their youth away in lavender before they have lived it out. And it is well for them that they do not try to keep up the pastimes of their salad days. To dance the Esmeralda in a Gibson hat, to pedal with ballooning skirts on a bicycle built for two, to play blindman's buff in midnight conservatories during dance intermissions--these are diversions that little become a shrunken or a wadded shape. Yet when a woman's sport is a man's sport--golf, for instance--she may become it like a man even after 20 or 40 years, as the players in the U. S. Senior Women's Golf Championship proved last week. Harassed by a high wind that swept the Westchester Biltmore course (Rye, N. Y.) Georgianna Bishop, national women's champion in 1904, defeated Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow of Philadelphia. Miss Bishop took 181 strokes to play 36 holes, and Mrs. Barlow two strokes more--better golf than is played by many a big-fisted stockbroker.
