GOLFERS COUNTING
ON GLENNA COLLETT
TO WIN IN ENGLAND
NEW YORK, Apr. 13.—Upon the
hitting prowess of a demure miss
of Providence, R. I., and a shiny
new dime given her by John I).
Rockefeller, are pinned hopes that
an American will become queen of
the British links and empress of
world's golfdom this year for the first
time.
Having won every title on the
links this side of the Atlantic she
sought before she was old enough
to vote, Miss Glenna Collett is leav
ing shortly to seek British women’s
open title at Troon, Scotland, in the
tournament beginning May 15.
Golfers who have followed her
scintillating career at national, east
ern and southern championships in
the United States are certain that
she has the ability to win the Brit
ish laurels, even against the clever

i Miss Joyce Wethered, present Brit
ish litleholder, sister of another fa
mous golfer, and far ahead of other
linkswomen of Great Britain.
But there must be considered the
matter of breaks of the game on the
blustery seaside course at Troon,
and also the jinx that seems to have
pursued American golfers of boil)
sexes in their quests of honois in
I the birthplace of the royal and an
I cient game. Perhaps the dime which
the 85-year-old linksman gave recent
ly to the young feminine star at Or
mund Beach, Fla., for good luck, will
have an effect in this connection.
No American girl has yet won the
British title, although such stars
as Miss Alexa Sterling, of Atlanta,
and Miss Edith Cummings have
tried it. And while both tile Brit
| ish amateur and open titles have
I been won by American male goiters,
:it was only after several attempts.
; Walter Hagen, nowr British open
I champion, fared poorly in hi; first,

to have deserted when on the links
in the British Isles.
Miss Collett has victories over not
i ed British linkswomen to her credit,
| however. When she won the Am
j erican national women’s title in 1922,
j her opponent in the final round was

from a club in the New York dis

live in her native England. The

ing feminine links stars from all
parts of the country.
Miss Collett is unquestionably the
outstanding medal player of her sex
in the United States. As with Bobby
Jones before he won the open and
amateur titles, one wonders why she
ever is beaten. She is the only play
er to have broken SO in the women’s
national tournament, having set the
record at 79 on her own course, the
Rhode Island Country club, in last
year’s tournament. In practice mat
ches she often has been as lowr as
75, much to the envy of many male
golfers of good caliber, not to speak
of thousands of male duffers.
For six years, ever since she was
16, Miss Collett’s mighty hitting has
attracted attention. Excellent tech
nique, with a full flat swing, involv
ing the complete application of pow
er with hips and shoulders, enables
her to hit a ball from the tee that
would do credit to a professional. In
fact, in practice rounds with profes
sionals she is never far behind them,
and recently just after John D. gave
her that new dime, she outdrove
Joe Kirkwood, the trick shot artist
at several holes in which she and
her feminine partner won handily.
Frequently, with wind behind her
and the course sunbaked, she has
driven more than 300 yards. With
out wind or turf favorable for a long
ball, she drives 225 and 250 yards,
regularly. Yet her physique, though
sturdy, is girlish.
Her defeats have been due to er
rors in her short game, of which
keen opponents, such as .Miss Mary
K. Browne, in last year’s national
tournament, have taken profitable
advantage.
Hitting a ball comes naturally to
Miss Collett. When a little girl she
used to play baseball with the boys
in Providence. Her father, George
H. Collett, is a gQlfer, and Glenna
soon was swinging a club proficient
ly instead of a bat. As with the case
of Miss Edith Cummings of Chica
go, one of Miss Collett’s great riv
als, the tutelage of a father is a
great aid in this game.
In her short career, eastern. Cana
dian, north and south and many sec
tional and club titles. She is a fine
swimmer and a motorist that would
do credit to the annual race at In
dianapolis, friends say. Her hobby
is a car presented her by admirers
through Sir Thomas Lipton, after
! she won the national women’s title.
Miss Collett has, an ideal tempera
ment for golf. Even the disappoint
ment given her last year by Miss
Browne, when after preparation of a
year she failed to win the national
title again on her home course, did
not disconcert her. Her smile as
i she congratulated Miss Browne was
not the least, bit forced.
As bad accounts bankrupt a busi
ness, so worthless cows will bieak a

In planning and planting this year

Why Suffer So?
... Get Back Your Health as Other
Seward Folks Have Done.
Too many people suffer lame, ach
ing backs, distressing kidney disor
ders and rheumatic aches and pains.
Often this is due to faulty kidney
action and there’s danger of harden
ed arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright’s
disease. Don’t let weak kidneys
wear you out. Use Doan’s Pills be
fore it is too late! Doan’s are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Doan’s have helped thousands. Here
is one of many cases in this local
ity.
Mrs. E. S. Spaulding, Central Ave.,
South Bend, Wash., says: “For years
Doan’s Pills have been a household
remedy in our family. They have
always given good results when I
have suffered from any trouble caus
ed by disordered kidneys or back
ache and I couldn’t recommend a bet
ter remedy.”
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Spaulding sftid: “I haven’t had
the least return of kidney trouble
since endorsing Doan’s.”

PASSENGER INCREASE
ON RAILROADS SMALL
OLYMPIA, Wn„ Aor. 11.—Tho the
railroad milleage ia Washington’ in
creased 2,817.9 miles between 1905
and the beginning of 1924—being
3.145.47 in 1905—the number of pas
sengers carried only increased from
4,402,546 to 4,488,005, or about 2 per
cent. The average ^number of miles
traveled increased from 67 to 87.
In these figures, recently compiled
by the department of public works,
is epitomized the story of the effect
the improvement of Washington
highways and the coming of the au
tomobile has had on the railroad
lines. Privately owned cars, depart
ment experts claim, are now carry
ing most of the people who make
short trips between different points
in Washington. The passenger stage
lines, which started off bravely
enough and ran up to a total of
7,500,000 passengers carried in a sin
gle year, have begun to feel the
effect of increased travel in private
ly owned ears and though better
stages and more frequent service i
offered the stage line traffic is prac
tically at a standstill—just as the
figures indicate the railroad travel
is.
The department statistics go back
to the first year of the original rail
road commission and, since 1921 sta
tistics are not yet completed, cover
the whole period for which figures
have been gathered. Those figures
reveal the fact that because of in
creased costs of operation over great
ly increased mileage, the railroads
have been obliged to take in about
double the revenue they received
from passenger travel in 1905—$16.
917,732 in 1923, as compared with
$8,369,893 in 1905.
The volume of freight tonnage has
trebled, jumping from 11,000.000 to
33,000,000 tons, while revenues in
creased from approximately $19,000.
000 to $54,000,000.
