PRETTY GIRL Of ENGLAND
LEADS FEMININE GOLFERS

Golfing England was all het up
over the battle of the sexes which
eliminated in golf match between
II. II. Hilton and Miss Cecile Leitch
at 70 holes, and when the rivals
met for the first half on Walton
Heath and for the last half at Sun
ningdale, they were followed by an
immense gallery.
Hilton, an eX-open champion, is
one of the finest golfers in England,
and Miss Leitch is considered the
best of her sex; hence the match
was generally admitted fine test
of the respective merits Of the
sexes.
Hilton CALAMITY allowed his fair
competitor a half stroke per hale,
and although the English news
papers devote a great deal of space
to photographs of the competitors
and description of the various
shots, they fail to tell who won,
which, by the way, we consider
rather important, don't you know,
on this side.
Instead, a lot of perfectly good
space was wasted with descriptions
telling how Miss Leitch drove 475
yard hole in two strokes, using
driver and brassie and actually
passing the hole in the second shot.
