Mrs. Edwin r. Wbitcomh Of the Mil
waukee Country club, is still premier
women golfer Of Wisconsin and she
earned her right to the title for third
time Friday afternoon when in an
eighteen hole match featured with the
steadiest play ever shown by woman
on Wisconsin links she defeated Mrs.
Harry Landauer Of the Woodmount
Country club in Milwaukee by score
of 4 up 8 to play. Mrs. Whitcomb had
just one bad hole during the entire
afternoon play and on the rest of the
holes she was always close to DOGGY
and several times she dropped the
score below the mythical colonel Mrs.
Laudauer played beautiful game,
but her work on the green was de-
cidedly off and her inability to make
short puts was largely responsible for
the comparatively easy victory Of Mrs.
Wbitcomb

ment for women More than three
hundred men and women were in the
gallery which followed the players and

nut in one but over-ran the green and
Mrs Whitcomb surrendered the hole

tompts to get out of the bunker. Mrs
Landauer did not hole out, but She had
sure five for the hole.
Both got away long drives on the
second tee and Mrs. Whitcomb went to
the green with an iron for her second.
urs. Landauer was short Of the bunker
and took four move shots to hole out
and Mrs Whiteomb took the hole 5 to
8 and squared the match.
Mrs. Wbitcomb outdrove Mrs. Ian
dauer fifty yards on the third course
and her brassie second took her wen
over the bunker Mrs. Landauer play
