 Miss Rosalie Mayer. determined to see all of Birmingham possible while here, slipped away to the ball game.
 She said she had two great loves Mrs. Lowndes, who Is her roommate and Mrs. Harrington. Mrs. Arthur Crowder. always so gracious, was
 making many guests feel at home. She introduced Mrs. John Armstrong. from Jackson. Miss, who has been
 state golf champion down there for
 years. 'It's terribly embarrassing
 to tell that. though. now that I am
 not In the running hereF Mrs. Crowder said she thought it
 was wonderful how she herself had
 been able to stay in all this time,
 and hadn't won a match. Mrs. Arm strong, delightfully."- chick in her manner as well as her dress, is in Birmingham for the first time, but says she Is coming back every time
 they will let her. She was dressed
 in a charming red sweater, linen waist and tan knickers.
 A Dead Rush
 Skirts interfer with one's stance"
 she related. and knickers are much
 preferable to skirts for women."
 Nobody at the tournament has 8
 bigger job than Mrs. Robert Trach.
 who is secretary and treasurer for
 the association. She Is handicapper
 for the women, and has their records
 all down in big book. Hhe procured
 these from the various clubs of the organization before the meet.
 Oh, but the women were giving Mrs. Thach the dead rush and there was hardly 8 thing that she couldn't inform them of. her big pencil in hand, and clad in cunning gray sweater, a little red and black skirt, brown socks and brown shoes. A white collar gave the costume jest the proper sport touch.
 Clubs Numbers
 She related that at least there was one thing that Atlanta couldn't brag about, and that was that 1t had as
 many clubs represented as Birming- ham this year!
 Atlanta broke the previous record by having 37 clubs represented I said to myself that I couldn't hold up my head if I didn't beat Atlanta this year, and, happy to say, there are AZ clubs represented. In all. we have 4s clubs which are members."
 In these clubs Mrs. Thach, person. ally. his written to the chairman of each.
 Both Mrs. Thach and Charley Hall said that the Birmingham women have shown up very well in the tournament, but they have not done better because they have not worked"
 "We think it's Atlanta's spirit that has made her win, and that our lack of enthusiasm has made Birmingham lose. Magic City women really did not start to working for the tourna- f,- c ,t yntt fx nrt1 10 to,, were up and doing long before that" Mrs. Thach praised the sister city's enthusiasm, and was very effusfve in her praise of Mrs. T. T. Williams. She's a very fine player-very
 steady. I don't understand how she does so well. not being any kind of husky at all." Mrs. Thach said the cutest thing about the tournament, she thought. was the way husbands would slip out to watch their wives play.
 They'll sleuth around, and when their wives make some special won
 derful drive those husbands will beam just as though they had put over some big business deal! I think that's lovely"
 It Is very much discussed topic whether golf will shortly be brought tAAdoSOS- ed 1t would but that we're just be- hind a bit, for already in Memphis and many other cities, there are pub lie links which are just crowded all the time. Golf is splendid game be- cause older people can play as well as young ones. It is not strenuous, and is a sociable. mental and physical recreation"
 Mrs. Ralph Van Landingham and her daughter came in from the links one day. Someone questioned the former as to who had won. Mrs. Van lLandingham replied:
 T feel as if did. My daughter only beat me two upr'
 Mrs. N. w. Johnson of Rome, Ga, had a sad experience. All keyed up to enter the matches, she disappeared to the dressing room only to find that someone had worn her shoes away. 'I wouldn't have objected if they had left anything I could wear, but tkere wasn't my size in sight. Please advertise that I hope they'll return my shoes. I might have won the con- solation but for that"
 The champions and winners in the association will receive silver gob- lets, silver sandwich trays and com potes, silver flower baskets. medals dHQ IL nuiuD6T Ol .OLucI interesting things. Even the very lowest prizes are very handsome.
 Nobody who has been to Birming- ham in 8 long time Is more popular than charming Mrs. David Gaut Of Memphis. She Is expected, by the way. to get in on the prizes some- where. since she has always won some trophy in every tournament she has visited. Her attractive tailor made knickerbocker suit is much ad- mired. and Is neat and modest to the actual point of beauty. >> Mrs. Gaut. who by about 20 years does not look as old as any picture she has had printed in Birmingham and who Is most attractively young, has won the southern championship two years in succession. She has held the Ten- nessee championship twice. and was in the semi- finals of the national as- sociation in Cleveland two years ago.
 The latter she counts as the great est laurels she has ever won. With Mrs. Hubert Drennen's arm around her, and with a group of other women crowded on either side,
 she related that she played golf for real pleasure, and sai dthat this tour na ament was the best the association
 has ever had.
 surely regret I didn't get into the finals. for this is my native state. | I was born here. I think the first nine here is the hardest have ever seen in any place.
 She played yesterday with DS A.

 "Ain't nature grand?" this being | her favorite expression. She had l been playing with Louie Munger. 1 One of the women said that she
