FOOTBAL
Miss Croft, when a mite of threes! is said to have preferred her father's golf clube to her dolls. At 14 she had the ambition to gain high hon- ours at the game, and now, when only 17, she has proved herself to be the best girl golfer in the kingdom. Mr. Harold Hilton, who is secretary of the Ashford Manor Club, has followed Miss Croft's progress with great interest, and predicts a great future for her.
Miss Croft's father, who is a golfer of no mean skill-a plus 2 player at Ashford Manor-accompanied his daughter round and carried her
clubs.
CONTRAST IN FINALISTS..
