London, April 3. Miss Joyce Wethered, the world's greatest woman golfer, bas accept- ed an offer to tour America in 'ex- hibition matches, provided the final negotiations are satisfactory, writes a correspondent.

In the event of these being com- -pleted, and I have no doubt they will be, Miss Wethered will leave England in May and be away about eight weeks. The contract pro- vides for the payment of a sub- stantial sum, something." I should imagine, well over four figures.

A fee of £250 per match has been paid to players like Hagen and Strazen. In her own particu- lar sphere Miss Wethered is .cer- tainly no less a commanding agure,

By her accepting money for the playing of exhibition matches. there is no further doubt as to Miss Wethered's poaltion in golf-she is

a professional, Miss Wethered is under no delusions as to her future status. She has no intention of re- Hnquishing her past as manageress- of the sports department bi a Lon- don stores, a position which at the time of acceptance, gave rise to considerable discussion in amateur sporting circles.

Curiously enough, at the Jubilee of 1887 the House of Commons went on working as though no- thing had happened.

During the week-end I have had the opportunity of a talk with Miss Wethered on the subject of her proposed visit to the United States. She said: "If I go I shall accept a fee for playing matches. 'For several years past I have declined the offer, but now I feel that 1 would like to take it. The idea ap- peals to me. I want to see and play over the American courses. and also to meet old friends. This will be a wonderful experience."

In further conversation Milss Wethered sald: "I have become keen again, and I feel during every } round that I am playing better. I shall love to play seriously - once more, and if I go to America 14 certainly will be serious golf.
