Baby Buggies

Baby buggies are in the sporting spotlight of England. Mrs. Lilly Groom, of Eastbourne, Brighton, took the perambulator propulsion title, doing 52 miles from London to Brighton in 12 hours and 20 minutes. Her baby slept peacefully most of the way.

Controversy between mothers of the North and South of England as to their respective stamina and speed with the buggies inspired the race. Five mothers entered the lists and took off from the Parliament buildings as Big Ben chimed 5:15 A. M. Three of the infant riders were under a year old.

Mrs. Groom won by 14 minutes and was presented with a silver " shoving" cup and the price of a new pair of shoes.

The Olympic Games for 1932 have been awarded to Los Angeles. The 1924 games will be held in Paris; the 1928 games in Amsterdam, Holland.

The Westmoreland Country Club, Chicago, will play host for the Western Junior Amateur Championship on August 15, 16 and 17.
