in the play for the Walker Cup, but in the Ladies' Championship on Friday, May 16, Miss Diana Fishwick, . nineteen years old, showed (as Miss Amy Johnson has been showing in a still more thrilling enterprise) that this is the day of youth, particularly of feminine youth.

She has won the Women's Championship of America four times, and when she has played previously for the English championship she has yielded only to the formidable Miss Wethered.
