The success of Miss Alexa Stirling, the
Atlanta girl who after four years of
patient effort annexed the women's golf
title, has been gratifying to her many
friends all over the country. When Miss
md rtro mi cl1j 10 CT
year a more popular victory could not
have been imagined and it seems only
fitting that the girl who Is conceded to
be the greatest exponent of feminine
have the championship crown to go
along with her other titles. 1t has
surely been a Stewart Maiden year. for
the diminutive professional OF the At
lanta Athletic Club has turned out three
of the greatest golfers of recent years
in Miss Stirling. young Bobby Jones'
the sensation of the amateur cham
pionship, and Perry Adair. All these
players are in their teens and may e&-
pect to play championship golf for
Belmont Springs to watch his pupii
play
Miss Stirling has many friends In
this city and has played frequently
registered rounds of between 80 and
SO. when the course was little shorter
than it now is. She has been here in
past years as the guest Of Miss Pauline
Lockett of the Chevy Chase Club. and
IL is expected that she will stop here
for a few days on her way from Bos-
ton.
The fine game shown by Miss Mildred
Caverly in reaching the finals must
not be misinterpreted as a mere fash
of form. Miss Caverly Is the holder of
the Philadelphia women's champion
ship, and has been playing champion
ship golf all the year. AS is generally
known, there probably are more capa-
bic woman golfers around the Phila-
delphia district than in any similar To-
cality In the country and to capture
the championship OF the Quaker city
is in itself no mean feat:

Today, both morning and afternoon. an
ateur-professional four ball match
will he held as a curtain raiser to the
championship 1t will be interesting to
note the result Of the match play
rounds, as at e-al play 1t Is conceded
that outside of half dozen who have
shown good form this year no one else
would have more than o slim chance OF
beating out the favorites.
