the big interest centered in the match
abroad which was to determine. In
Stirling, champion of America since
1910, or Miss Cecil Leitcb. champion Of
Great Britain since 1914. 1t was a
match that had been on every lip In two
great countries for some two years.
Those who had seen the two play fav-
ored Miss Leitch to win over there,
and that's what happened. The British
woman hercules was dormie z and won
and 2. They met in the first round
and many figured this would be against
the American, to enter the supreme test
without other match play experience In
the championship and to tackle Miss
Leitch right of the bat.
But the data failed in some respects.
It was figured that Mics I.eitch would
be superior from the tee and this, we
are led to believe by accounts, was
not notably the case. At the ninth,
for instance, Miss Stirling was twenty
yards to the good from the tee and
on others she was as good or straighter

Here is the point score

Women Get Good Start
The women got a. good start in play
at Merton for the Pennsylvania and
Eastern States titles. The singles
entry list of 4S was record breaker
and another record was the excellent
manner In which the tournament was
conducted. Most Of the work fell upon
the shoulders OF Mrs. J. N. Pew, Jr.,
who Is chairman Of the Tournament
Committee. She is being assisted by
Miss Anne B. Townsend, Miss Jacgue-
line Green, Miss Deborah Seal, Mrs.
G. G. Madeira. Mrs ID. III. lie Boutil-
lier, Mrs. John 9. Bell, Jr., and Mrs.
William j. Clothier..
The first round was finished early in

upsets. In the second round there was
a big upset, when Miss Mildred Will
lard, of Merton, eliminated Miss Molly

straight sets, Ga. Ga. Miss Thayer Is
the 1920 title holder, and her elimi-

Miss Willard has greatly improved
in her play during the last year:
She is not very severe player and
Ser game was in striking contrast to
Mis-. Thayer's yesterday. Miss Thaycr
drove hard. but Miss Willard's getting
ohiI;ty proved too much even for Miss
Thayer and she finally beat herself by
driving out or into the net when Miss
willard kept plugging away and re-
turning everything. ,u

Ultimate winner. was beaten in the
third round by Miss Townsend N1n

send was in fine form. driving hard,
playing the net well and making her
service count for her many times.

in a tie with Norman Maxwell, the
young Whitemarsh star.
Charles Reckner and J. j. Doodle
starred for Cedarbrook. the new club
Of the district, which was boosted to
fame partly by the pair of 159s these
young stars referred to turned in.
Then there are others all along the
line who have started or not, such as
Donald Cresswell Kindt. Stevens, the
Hnnsons, Phil Corson, and the like. The
young experts may take tumble out OF
the veterans and the whole lineup to
qualify in the championship is expected
10 shift around completely from what
is was last year.
Tough Putt
Reverting to the cup yesterday,
Norman Maxwell muffed abolt as hard
putt to miss as you will run across.
He had one from 15 inches on the thir-
ty sixth hole of his play TO win from
Bob Hoffner by n stroke. He pushed II
and 1t just stopped on the edge. Which
made it tie.
The big surprise was the failure on
Merton to qualify. The Main Liners
have proved invincible these last few
years and entered the conflict at st.
Martins yesterday as the champions.
Max Marston was unable to play but
Merton rather piled up strokes and
| trailed by several necessary shots.
Aronimink was expected to do well,
but withdrew before the start. North
Hills gave way to Cedarbrook this year.
The match play will be decided later
for the team championship with White

Mrs. Susan Rogers
Called To Beyond

When God calls a noble mother
anointed, Mrs Susannah Peden

fortitude, laid herself on the altar

selfishness, a beautiful devotion that

Mrs Rogers was IS years of age.
She was the daughter of Cornelius
Peden, a pioneer citizen of Henry
County She was a life long member
OF the Baptist Church, faithful to its
doctrines, devoted to it's principles.
In her church work, in her daily
associations, she exemplified the
strength and depth of her true
Christian character Her passing was
due to the infirmities of age, and it
was gentle and peaceful like her
life.
The watchful care and tender solic-
itude of her children, the thought
fulness of her many friends, bright
ened Mrs. Rogers last days. The
universal grief at her passing speaks
her worthy life.
Funeral services were conducted
at the First Baptist Church, Wednes-
day afternoon by her former pastor,
Rev. w. H. Ryals, and by Revs. j.
w. Storer and Martin Ball. Inter
ment was at Maplewood.

Lad Breaks Arm In
Compound Fracture

While playing ball in the back
yard of the T. H. Hogan residence,
w. Washington street. Monday after
noon. Barton McSwain, son OF DR..
and Mrs. j, II. McSwain, N Poplar
street, sustained a compound frac-
ture of the left arm between the
elbow and wrist. Barton, who is
a staunch lover of the great Ameri-
can game, and strenuous player,
by mis-step, fell backward over
a low fence, doubling his arm under
him, and breaking both bones, one
protruding thru flesh.
A regretable sequence to the acct
dent, is that the boy was planning
a summer term at Culver, leaving
about the first of July. and 1t Is
feared that his arm will not have
sufficiently healed by then.
