WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 1.2 Women ( Golfers Have Matches Planned T Review of Golf Events at Five Country Clubs HE drying leaves and the grass that is slowly drying on the best of fairways hints at the delight- ful autumn days to come, and at the approaching close of the golf events scheduled for women at the various north shore golf clubs. Until the ad- vent of the first wintry days, one will see golf devotees of both sexes pur- suing little white balls over as many holes as their fancy choses, but the schedules arranged by golf committees plan events for the women players through the month of September, with perhaps one or two matches scheduled for early October. More than ever this year, women have enjoyed the games planned for them on the days set aside by each of the golf clubs, and have followed the programs with ever increasing interest and will undoubtedly turn out with as much enthusiasm during the three or four weeks that remain for their club season. Once more we receive our weely re- port of events past and those to come at the following clubs from Wilmette north to Glencoe. North Shore Club Rain Tuesday caused postponement of the match scheduled at the North Shore club, but next week the golfers will play for the Mrs. H. H. Harrison trophy which will be awarded for low net score over 18 holes with full handi- cap. During the past week the class championships were played off with the following players entered for the finals: Class B.--Mrs. .John Caine defeated Mrs. E. J.. White; Class C.--Mrs. C. P. Evans defeated Mrs. E. Tanner. Mrs. J. E. Barron and Mrs. A. C. Col- lins were to play off the finals Thurs- day of this week. Wilmette Golf Club News of the match this week and next is indifinite, as the coming game is not yet arranged, and Tuesday's event was not scheduled. The women competing for the Golimoor Land trophy have ended their tournament with the following results: Class A.-- Mrs. John McNamara won from Mrs. C. M. Graham with a score of 3 and 2; Class B.--Mrs. N. Armel defeated Mrs. B. A. Clark; Class C.--Mrs. Tracy Holmes won from Mrs. F. W. Werner: Class D.--Mrs. B. C. Wheeler was paired with Mrs. F. Pethybridge and Mrs. Wheeler won by default. Indian Hill Club At Indian Hill the members are play- ing for the club championship, and will, in all probability, play the final round next Wednesday. Mrs. George Forrest won the low gross score and Mrs. George Massey, the low net, in the play over the "Mystery Nine" Septem- ber 2 Sunset Ridge The matches at Sunset Ridge club Tuesday were class events, as usual. Mrs. Ray Doonan won the 18-hole event and the prize for the fewest number of putts in Class A and B. Mrs. J. Williams Macy won the class C match. Mrs. James P. Gillies was winner of the nine-hole event for Class D, with Mrs. Briggs having the fewest putts for the nine holes. Tuesday, Sep- tember 15, the event will be a three- club match. Skokie Golf Club hroughout Month of September club, iron club, and putter, Monday September 21, and a one club event the following week with first and second low net to be awarded to play- ers who have not won a morning prize during the season. The final luncheon will follow the morning's game, and elections will be held and awards made. STUCK STARTERS VEX MOTORISTS "Don't Forget the Spark," Is Warning Stuck starters cause much trouble '0 motorists, according to a bulletin 'ssued by the mechanical first aid de- nartment of the Chicago Motor Club. "Tn many cases this is caused by start- 'ng the car with spark advanced. In +he old days when cars were cranked by hand the motorist remembered the nossibility of a broken arm and so he was careful to retard the spark be- fore starting. Today, however, the spark is often forgotten and jammed starter gears are legion. To loosen the spring turn the ignition off, en- gage high gear and rock the car back and forth several times. car from side to side will do no good. The backward motion is the one that frees the drive. Never tow a car forward with the starter stuck as the forward move- ment jams it tighter. Worn-out brushes may cause considerable damage to the starter. If too low they will cause an electric arc which will burn and pit the commutator, and in some cases even melt the solder in the arm- iture connections. Sixty percent of the ignition calls handled last year by the mechanical first aid department were the result of loose wires or bat- tery terminals. Loose ammeter con- nections are most likely to cause motorists trouble. A single wire leads to the. recording ammeter on the in- strument board and is fastened with a screw terminal. Frequently it works loose. If it comes off entirely there is a break in the electrical system, in which case the car will not start, the horn will not blow, nor will lights burn. If, however, the horn and lights do work the trouble cannot be a broken circuit there and can be traced to the distributor, coil, or possibly corroded battery terminals. The battery term- inals may be corroded so badly that sufficient current will not pass to oper- ate the starter or the engine and yet allow enough for the lights and for the horn. The corrosion can be cleaned off with a file and a good connection made. As a rule, there is more trouble with the ammeter wire getting loose with- out coming off, than there is if it be- comes entirely detached. When it comes loose it may remain in contact for some distance and a bump in the road may jolt it free. The driver may experiment with the car for a while and perhaps the wire will establish contact only to break it later. This process will be repeated until the nut of the terminal is tightened. Loose battery terminals rank next to loose ammeter wires from a trouble Because of Labor day, women golf- | ers at Skokie played their ball sweep- | ing stakes match Tuesday of this week, | with Mrs. H. C. Phillips holder of the low gross score and Miss Huston and Mrs. Albert Frost holders of the first | and second low net. Mrs. Paul Chace | won the putting event. Next Monday will be the occasion | of the four ball foursome when Class B players will invite partners from the Class A players. The customary approaching and putting contest will | take place at 2 o'clock in the after- | noon. The events at Skokie throughout the current month consist of a double threesome competition with wooden NORTH SHORE BOOTERY 529 Davis Street at Chicago Avenue In the North Shore Hotel Bldg. The Store of Good Shoes standpoint. Here the horn or light Rocking the | test will show whether there is a com- plete break in the circuit, or if like the ammeter wire they may be only loose, so as to make and break the connection. It is possible that they may be filmed over with a blue foam of corrosion.
