WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922 BRING CHAMPIONSHIP TO VILLAGE, IS APPEAL Page 1) (Continued from Class C--C. D. Nicholls Class D--Kraft or Wilson (Card not turned in) August Tourney On The August class tournament is now in progress. There will be an- other in September, after which the winners in the various classes for the four months will compete for the sea- son's championship in each class, the prize in Class A being the handsome cup donated by Mrs. E. S. Rogers The qualifying round for the John Martin cup (donated by: Mr. W.-H. Martin) was held last week and the match rounds in this event will start this Saturday. The Park Board cup will be com- peted for in September, having been postponed from July as announced in the published schedule. Events for Women The attention of the women mem- bers of the association is called par- ticularly to the Douglas Smith Wo- men's Championship Trophy (a beau- tiful silver water pitcher) to be com- peted for in September. The qualify- ing round for this event will take place Tuesday, September 12, and the match rounds will follow on succeed- ing Tuesdays. This is to be a handi- cap affair at 9 holes for all except the final round, which is to be 18 holes. Only a few women thus far have turned in score cards for handi- cap purposes. In order that they may be properly handicapped it is absolute- ly necessary that they turn in scores from time to time. All those who ex- pect to take part in this event are urged to turn in at least five com- plete scores for 9 holes, with their names and addresses written plainly on the cards, at the earliest possible date. The time is getting short and the committee cannot make handicap- ping for this event a matter of guess work at the last minute. Attention is called to the necessity for women who expect to compete in this event to be members of the Playfield association. Their husbands' or brothers' memberships will not qualify them. Send $1.00 with name and address to C. W. Happ, secretary, 823 Spruce st. Summarizing seriatim, the follow- ing important items are urged upon the attention of readers of this article --particularly those who are members of the Playfield association and those desiring to become members: 1. PAY YOUR DUES. Send $1.00 to C. W. Happ, Secretary, 823 Spruce st. There has been a most amazing neglect on the part of a large num- ber of members of this small but ex- tremely important matter. 2. Send $1.00, or more, to Barret Conway, President, 387 Linden st., to help out on the Toledo Tournament fund. 3. Turn in your score cards for all tournament matches promptly, properly signed, witnessed and dated. 4. Women: Turn in score cards without further. delay for handicap purposes. 5. Women: Join the Association so that you may compete for the Wo- men's Championship trophy in Sep- tember. GEEK RAVINIA BOOKS FOR POOR FAMILIES Sponsors Find Use For Un- used Coupons Those unused Ravinia Opera cou- pons, which customarily are thrown into the discard when the holders de- part on the mid-summer vacations, are to be employed to good purpose, if the plan of Ravinia sponsors meets with general response on the north shore, . The plan, as described in last week's issue of The Winnetka Weekly Talk, suggests that patrons of the opera, who do not expect to use all the .coupons in their books, place the books 'in the hands of local social service workers so that they may in turn be given to poor people who, though appreciative of good music and welcome entertainment, cannot otherwise afford the pleasures of Ra- vinia because of the attendant ex- pense, Miss Garretson, Winnetka visiting nurse, will be pleased to accept the coupon books for distribution in Win- netka. The coupons may be sent to her at Community House, or to Wil- liam E. Hadley, Principal Correspon- dence School for the Blind.
