W.W.G.A. At Exmoor Celebrations‘ for the Golden Amateur Championship of the Woâ€" men‘s Western‘ Golf. Association will commence August 14 and conâ€" tinue through August 19 as the top amtufi of the country tee off in the 50th Amateur Champâ€" ionship at Exmoor Country Club. Records show that golfing hisâ€" tory has been made by the Westâ€" ern since 1901 when Miss Bessie Anthony toured the fairways of the Onwentsia Club, Lake Forest in a long billowing skirt and a Gibson shirt waist to win the first Western tournament for women 3 and 1 from Mrs, H.‘C. Chatâ€" fieldâ€"Taylor. Every summer since that early date the WWGA has held an Amateur Championship for the women, hot even daunted by two world wars. Many women whose names were. prominent in the golfing history of the Chicago area followed Mrs. Alexander, among them were Mrs. C. E. Raymond of Hinsdale, Mrs. James P. Gardner who served as president for four years after inâ€" troducing the Western, Handicap Systefn, Mrs. Hathaway Watson who presided at the time of the first Western Junior and Mrs. Paut Walker who. launched the now famous Western Open. The name of many famous woâ€" men golfers who have made hisâ€" tory in other golfing fields are engraved on this cup since Miss Bessie Anthony, whose name apâ€" also won the USGA Atmateur crown in 1903 . The name of Exmoor has figâ€" ured prominently in the history of the ‘Western since the year 1905 when the club was host toâ€" the Western during the administration of their member Mrs. Alexander. The Amateur Championship was played four more times on the lovely Exmoor course, the last time being in 1941, when Mrs. Charles Willard, an Exmoorâ€"memâ€" ber, was president. The entries for the Golden Amateur will have heard of Exmoor‘s course and that it is a true test for Champâ€" ionship golf with its muchâ€"talked of excellent greens with the tricky hidden rolls. ‘Top notch golfers on hand to celebrate this 50th year by tryâ€" ing to capture the Amateur crown include the defending champion, Helen Sigel, who carried the trophy to the east for the first time. The runnerâ€"up to the 1949 champion, Miss Peg Kirk, Dot â€"â€" Theâ€" Western Amateur trophy which is one of the most coveted of golf trophies for women was donated to the Western by the husband of the first Western president, Mr. W. A.â€"Alexander. This trophy, which is a large silâ€" ver eup standing on an ebony base, is caled the W. A. Alexanâ€" der cup and for the last 50 years has been prized greatly by the club which held it for a year. Kielty,. the 1948 Champion, Polly Riley, who lost to Dot on the 36th hole, Dot Kirby, Grace Lenezyk, former USGA Champion, and Beverly Hanson, all recent selecâ€" tions for the Curtis Cup team, will enter the 50th Amateur. ° Thursday, August 17, 1950 The primary purpose of the WWGA to promote golf for woâ€" men and girls was inaugurated in the first year of the organization under the leadership of Mrs. W. A. Alexander, now Mrs. Henry Foete. Mrs. Alexander was active in golf at her own club, Exmoor, and was also the Runnerâ€"up of the 1902 WWGA Championship. This aim to encourage and assist all women golfers is still the purpose of the Western, with Mrs. Charles M. Price of the Glenview Club as president. Among the entries are Marjorie Lindsay, 4 times winner of the Iilinois State; Pat O‘Sullivan, Orange Conn.; lhp Murray, Rutâ€" land, Vt., apearing for the first time in a Western event; Ruth Highland Ten Pin OPEN BOWLING Every Day from 12:30 to 6:30 P.M.
