MRS. MULLIKIN WINS
W0MEN'S GOLF PLAY

What was perhaps the most spec
tacular and interesting golf match
ever played on the DUPONT Country
Club course took place last Satur-
day afternoon when the final con
test for the executive. cup handicap
for women was played off between
Mrs. r. n. Mullikin and Miss Louise
il. Tatnaii. The match was won by
Mrs. Mulhkln one up. A
large gallery followed the PLAYERS.
The match had created great inter-
est not only among memb ers Of the
dupont Country Club. but among
golfers in the city and vicinity at
large because both Mrs. Nfullikin
and Miss Tatnall have this year been
playing great games and the mar
gin between them was very small.
Last August the club championship
was played and at that time Miss
Tatnall won. Miss Tatnall had also
won the executive cup last year.
Mrs. Mullikin, however, during the
past few months. had been PLAYING
in great form and her game had
steadily improved. and It was
thought that in spite Of her defeat
for the club championship she
would be able to make a great show
ing for the executive cup. which is
the classic in the club champion
ships
The match was for eighteen holes |
and started at two O'Clock. DR.. r
l.. Kramer refereed the contest.
1t was an exciting match through /
out, and it was only on the eigh- !
teenth hole that Mrs. Mullikin won !
out. Both started out in good form
and tied the first hole. Miss Tat
nall won the second; Mrs. Mulllkin
the third and fourth; Miss Tatnaul
the fifth; they tied the sixth and
seventh; Mrs. Muliikin won the
eighth and ninth; they tied the
tenth; Miss Tatnall won the elev-
enth and twelfth. they tied the l.
thirteenth; Miss Tatnall won the
fourteepth; they tied the fifteenth. L
Mrs. Mullikin won the sixteenth /
and they tied the seventeenth. This
made them even for seventeen holes
On the eighteenth hole Miss Tatnall
made a poor drive and met with
some trouble. and Mrs Mulllkin won
that hole and the match.
Mrs. Mullikin. the new holder of !
the executive cup, is the wife Of !
DR.. r. N. Mullikin and has been
playing golf only this year. Her I
progress in the game has been re-
markable.
This match closed the club pro- d
gram for the season. .
