Hudson 6 down Promising Star Among Women Golfers Fades After Accident Golfers at Pinehurst thought a new star among women golfers had been dis covered during the course of a mixed Scotch sixsome, played on Monday last, in which three well-known golfers were respectively paired with women part ners. James C. Ward, Missouri State Cham pion, was paired with Miss Martha Thieme of Fort Wayne, and O. C. Frost of Auburndale had Miss Clarissa Metcalf as a partner. A. Lucien Walker, Jr., former Intercollegiate Champion and winner of last week 's Midwinter Tourna ment at Pinehurst, played with Miss Eleanor Fox, a tall and dashing bru nette whom nobody had seen here be fore. Mr. Frost and Miss Metcalf won the first hole in 4. Miss Fox played the first hole badly. After Miss Thieme and Miss Metcalf had driven off the second tee, the un known Miss Fox stepped up and whaled the ball 220 yards straight down the course. Everybody opened their eyes a new star had been discovered among, women golfers. But when "the strange Miss Fox lifted an iron shot for another 200 yards on the second fairway the effort shook off her Tarn O'Shanter, her luxurious wealth of brunette hair fell with it, and the fair golfer stood re vealed as William E. Donahue of the Shackamaxon Club, winner of the quali fying round in the Midwinter tourna ment. Walker and his budding star were promptly disqualified for conspira cy, misrepresentation, failure to properly register at the Country Club, and the match broke up . in disorder. H. C. L. IN HAVANA Big Bank Roll Needed to Meet Expenses in Cuban Capital Havana: American women, disturbed by the mounting cost of living, ought to come to Cuba. The trip would make them satisfied with conditions at home. Broadly speaking, prices in Havana are just about double the high mark in top notch American cities. One cause, according to dealers, is the unprecedented port congestion, apparently with little hope of early clearing, and which has resulted in the ruin of hundreds of tons of necessary products. Whatever the cause, the island is going through a period of high cost, described by papers here as more burdensome than that found elsewhere on the face of the earth. Even here, where it is produced in sufficient bulk to supply millions else where, sugar retails on the Havana mar ket around 24 cents a pound. Grape fruit, going to waste a few miles from town, sells at NeAV York quotations. Financial depression, the demand for ready and available cash, and the mora torium, under which banks limit with drawals to ten per cent., have failed to start price reductions in the hope of un loading luxuries to meet weekly pay rolls. Until the moratorium ends, De cember 1, hotels will not permit patrons to sign bar and cafe checks, a time honored custom here. Cash is needed, and a man pays when he eats. Conditions in Havana are of little con cern to the wealthy element from the States that will be coming here soon by j the thousands for the winter and racing, season. But for folk of ordinary means,1 with two weeks for recreation, a big bank . roll is needed. About the lowest hotel rate is $7 a day for room and bath. And this is not at the best places, for their rates are much higher, and a little later on the $7 rooms will fetch $15. Americans living in Havana pour out a tale of woe to friends from the States. The women seem to be hit the hardest. Price tags in stores selling men's wear show that a good pair of men's low shoes costs as high as $28. The rainy season is not ended, and $8 for a cotton um brella is a "bargain." Flannel trousers are there for $25 and silk shirts for $30. A lot of odds and ends that a man needs cost more than twice the mark at home. The correspondent saw a Panama hat valued at $450 and the dealer declared that sugar men pay it without blinking. Cigarettes selling for 20 cents a pack age at home cost 60 here, and for a $2 box of American candy they ask $7. Two cent American papers, three days old, cost 12 cents. You may get a reason ably fair suit of clothes out of stock for $100.00. In most cases women's shirt- waists, it was explained, cost three times the home figures. The only exception in the upward trend is the straw hat, the cost of which is about on the American scale. The only paper money in circulation here is American. The bills are so worn and utterly filthy that a man parts with ' them rather gladly.- New York Herald.
