...Providence, R. I., the national women's championship was put in motion. Edith Cummings was off the tee early for her qualifying round. Her most dangerous competitors were Champion Glenna Collett (1922 and 1923) and Champion Marion Hollins (1921) of Providence and Manhattan, respectively. Her most interesting competitor was Mary K. Browne of California, national tennis champion of 1912, 1913, 1914, now an able linkswoman...
...Author. Anne Douglas Sedgwick, though born in Englewood, N. J., can scarcely be called an American writer. She is thought of as one, but with less reason than in the cases of other illustrious emigrants - Edith Wharton and John Singer Sargent, for example. Her nine years of childhood in the U. S. were watched over by a governess before she went to live in France and England. Since then, 1882, she has seldom returned and never for long, though her many novels have reached the world through American publishers. Her home is in Oxfordshire ; her husband, Basil de Selincourt...
...Fairfield (Conn.) Country Club ranged some pre-tournament mixed foursomes, wherein National Cham pion Edith Cummings, one-time Champions Glenna Collett (1922) and Marion Rollins (1921), and Mrs. Quentin Feitner, former Metropolitan champion (1920), reinforced by five bisques apiece, would tackle Champion Max Marston, onetime Champions Jess Sweetser (1922) and Francis Ouimet (1914), and French Champion John G. Anderson (all amateurs). Golden golf balls were dangled as prizes for the winning team...
There is but a single thundercloud darkening Champion Edith's horizon at Providence. The vigorous, accurate game she played in winning the Western title, a fortnight ago, would more than suffice to conquer Marion Hollins, even though the Metropolitan champion has played more keenly this year than since her 1921 championship. Alexa is sidetracked. Mrs. Vanderbeck, of Philadelphia, however steady, cannot withstand Edith in a fighting mood, as was demonstrated in the semifinals of last year's title play, when Edith battled her from dormie two to a win at the 20th. There are Mrs. Hurd...
Than Alexa Stirling there is no finer mistress of golfing style in this country. Glenna, masculine of wrist, short of swing, comes next. Edith's game, while steady and dependable, is more loosely constructed than theirs, but she makes up the difference in temperament. Like brother Dexter, the intercollegiate champion, she is bursting with boyish energy and spirit. Her interests are not confined to golf alone...
