...might taste the excitement of riding over the frosted fields, in the wake of a curving pack, after some red and frightned vixen! Now, this week, all over the J. S., fox-hunting approaches the crest of its season. At Meadow Brook and Radnor, at Warrenton and Millbrook, at Onwentsia and Milwaukee, the riders trot through the dark mists of dawn to gather, as light breaks, at a country gate or a cross roads between fields fenced with wood. Kids on stumpy ponies and millionaires slithering upon their priceless hunters, will go over the hedges, fall...
Chicago Champion. At Chicago, out of the past, strode a handsome figure. Burdened with business and a family, Robert A.

This round, the lowest of the meet, was keen enough to subjugate Dorothy, 3 and 2. Edith Cummings, whose third match had been a 5-and-3 win over well-seasoned Mrs. Dave Gaut, of Memphis, took the measure of Mrs. Lee Mida, another of golf's warhorses, and became...
...Lake Forest, Ill., the Onwentsia links swarmed with 152 golfing Amazons beginning play for the Women's Western title, but Glenna had not rushed out to mingle with them. Champion Miriam Burns, of Kansas City, and National Champion Edith Cummings ruled the scene. Edith, who was raised amid Ouwentsia's daisies and knows every hole on the prairie, including those made by gophers, had little trouble navigating the rainsoaked course in 84, low medal...
