It is a matter of intereat, and also of significance, that of this season's major championships, of Great Britain and America--- sight in all---only one player has repeated the success of last year. The player in question is Miss Van Wio, who recently won the U.S. women's title for the third time in succession.

Little announces that he will | defend his British title at Roynt Lytham and St. Annes next year, provided that he can scrape together the necessary fumis.
