Miss Molly Griffiths in the final round
OF the tournament by Z up and 6 tc
play. ..... -
Favorable weather conditions marked
the playing of the deciding round. which
was-followed by a large gallery of spec
tators.
Miss Leitch opened with steady
the greens, her poor putting being par
tally responsible for the loss of the first
three holes. Miss Griffiths' play i'm
proved somewhat as the match pro
gressed, but at the turn the champion
wa going steady. At the close Of the
first round Miss Leitch's stroke score
was so to Miss Grifhths SO. Miss
Leitch maintained her lead throughout
the second round.
Has Fine Record ..
Miss Lcitch seems TO be in class By
herself among the women golfers ot
Great Britain. In defeating Miss Grit
tiths today she won the English title
for the second time, having captured the
crown in 1914, since which time it had
not been played for until this year.
Her play is likened in England tc

have come to the fore during the last
five years.
/ Last season her feats on English and
Scottish links drew occasional attention
to the fact that she was showing ability
of championship quality, but her vic
tories yesterday, not only over Miss
Hollins, but over Miss Jackson, the
Irish champion, as well, came somewhat
as surprise. This was her nrSt ap-
pearance In a championship.
Mrs. Temple Dobell, who was defeat
ed by Miss Leitch. the British cham
pion, in the fourth round. is known
more familiarly in America as Miss
Gladys Ravenscroft. her maiden name.
1t was she who in 1918 came TO this
country and startled golfng circles by
carrying home to England the Ameri-
can women's title. In that memorable
tournament, played at Wilmington,
Del. Mrs. Dobell defeated Miss Hollins
in the final round up. She has met
the redoubtable Miss Lcitch on many
occasions, but in recent years her vic
tories have been much fewer than her
defeats.
Miss Doris Fraser. who lost to Miss
Leitch in the semifnal, is a newcomer,
comparatively little known in cham

Igather from outside sources we lad
been forced to the conclusion that
while there was a charter, and this
charter provided for the election Of
certain officers, they are all without
duties, responsibility or authority;
Ithat while there were laws, ordinan-
ce&, rules and regulations, there was
none TO see that they are enforced.
imagine our surprise when we found
the following paragraphs in the
cAarter, which are of enough inter
.eat to our readers to justify us in
printing them-the capitals being

tour in the Southern states. Among
some of the erstwhile toilers. the
point is not to get high wages, but to
oodge hard work.-Baltimcr News.
Which merely shows that this bus

when we remember that the South

terests with amazing rapidity. it is
a pity that a Baltimore paper permits
itself to be made the vehicle of such
a rotten lie
In Florida, pitching horseshoes is
great fad Of a certain class of win
ter visitors. All over the state there
are daily seen groups of Western
farmers and others pitching horse
shoes with as much eagerness as the
richer folks give to golf. These
horseshoe pitchers are practically
without exception visitors from the
west and some parts of the North,
But a few days ago some tourists
new to Florida, and therefore new to
this fad, were overheard as they PASS
ed one Of these horseshoe pitching
pots, to say:
There's a sample of Southern
azincss. If those people were at
work they would make something of
themselves and their country"
And the joke is that there was not
Southern man in the crowd.
These statements are typical of the
Jews of class of uniformed North
rn and Western people who vainly
imagine they are capable of thinking
bout anything, much less about a
mole section of our common coun-

Last week the Leesburg CONNER
cial presented the draft Of tie alter.

weeks ago, and the Commercial will
cause it to be introduced at the next
session Of the legislature The pro-
posed law would prohibit stock run
ming at largo, would make owners
responsible for any damage done to
property or person by their stock and
compel them to keep it within the
bounds of free range districts, which
would be established by vote of the
people, the proposed law providing
for elections to be held in any coun-
ty or legal division of any county
when one-fourth of the qualified
electors petition for the election.
No oae, unless it be Mr.. Carson, pres
