Those who learned to drive while looking at the ball did better at first, but soon the blindfolded pu pils began to catch nip. When the blindfolds were renoved they sur passed the others.

Mrs. Hill also considers It about time. As I certainly helped ln cre ating the impression, I shall do my best. "You've been saying." Mrs. Hill said at August, "that I started golf when I was 35 years old. And now that I've been playing well, some thing like eight or nine years, why, that would make me well, that would certainly make me more than 40. And I'm not, really.

So from now on Mrs. Hill started golf shortly after sho en tered the thirties. But this docs not minimize tho fact that Mrs. Hill, Just two years and six months, lacking two days, after sho took up golf, played In the national championship at St. Louis in 1025, qualified in tenth position with an 87, defeated Mrs. John Arends and Miss Helen Payson in tho first two rounds, and lost to Miss Edith Cummlngs in a des perate bout In round three. Nor does it detract from tho rec ord of the Kansas City matron, who has a son, nearly 17 years old a record that Includes tho North and South, two Western, and three Trans-Mississippi titles, as well as victory twice for medal honors in the national championship. C71t Cvv'etC Sold exclusively by ohnenkamp STII.I, A flM.FKK At the Hill course of the Augusta Country club not named for Mrs. Hill she added to her reputation as a medalist by scoring an 81 the first time she hnd played the course, to lead the field, with Miss Orcutt and other strong players, by five strokes. She beat Miss Peggy Wattles on tho 20th green of a tremendous match: her fifth victory In as many starts over the charming Peggy. And she shot a 79 at Miss Orcutt in the finals, to win, 2-1, and square their own account, each now having won two matches, In the last eight holes of the match she scored seven in men's par, precisely. Yes I think Mrs. O. S. Hill, of Kansas City, still is a remarkable golfer, even if she was only 30 when she started to play.
