WINS HONORS In
WOWEN'S TOURNEY

Write Sulphur Springs, w. Va
September 2B.-Miss Glenna Collett'
for the second successive year, won
tho qualifying medal here today In
the national women's golf CHAMPION
shin with the remarkable score OF 81.
The Providence girl played superb
golf the entire way. only MISS MARION
Rollins, the champion, who was paired
with Miss Collett. being In reach OF
the long hitting girl wonder. Thirty-
two of the contestants quahfied.
The outstanding CHARACTERISTIC OF
Miss Collects play was comoina-
ton of brilliance from the tee and
through the fairway and fair steadi-
ness around the greens. She out
drove every other player in the tour
nament with consistent success ana
took no more than two puts with the
exception OF the tenth and fi1teenth
greens. where she needed three puts
to get the ball down.
Miss Hollins had plenty of power In
her game today, but had bad ten
dency to slice on most of her long
shots that kept her In continual
trouble and fighting to get out with
out disastrous scoring results.
Alexa Stirling played In her usual
style to come in with an S5 that left
her in third position in the medal
scoring The Atlanta girl has APP
parentiy not reached the top OF her
game She Is better at match play
than she is at the medal test, now
ever, and must be considered dan
gerous factor.
Mrs. Caleb r. Fox, Huntington Val
ley, the woman who the entire gal
lery hopes will go far in this tourna-
ment, turned in an So. remarkable
score, considering that this pictur-
esoue figure is IS years old and Is
the grandmother of ten. She has
ulayed in every woman's national
tournament since they have been
held in the United States. Her great
friend. Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, also
a veteran in her sixties. turned IN
the same brilliant score.
Mrs. J. D. Lowndes. Atlanta, the
present southern title holder. failed
to qualify, taking 95. She was con-
siderably off her game and added to
this found herself in two or three
lies almost impossible to play
Miss Edith Leitch, sister OF Cecii,
the British star. failed TO quarry
also, picking up her ball on the lotn
hole when she was told she had a.
raadv nlayed too many. With her
exit only Mrs. Gavin is left in the
tournament to uphold the English
bonors. Miss Cecil Leitch followed
her sister around the course, unable
to participate. because of her injured
arm. ne.
