iN NE esl ER a WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1924 WOMEN KEEP UP THEIR INTEREST IN CLUB GOLF DAYS Varied Events Hold Golfers' Attention in Skokie Matches HE usual large number of goli- ers who have been taking en- thusiastic interest in the Mon- day golf at Skokie are expected to turn out next week, with additional players, to compete in the all-day events, which will consist in the morn- ing of match play against par handi- cap, and a putting contest in the after- noon.
