MRS. LOWNDES AND MRS. GAUT PAIRED EN DIXIE FINALS

FORT WORTH, Tex. May 25.-Mrs. Dozier Lowndes ot Atlanta, title holder. will tee off with Mrs. David Gaut of Memphis, western champion, in the 36-hole finals of the women's southern golf tourney at River Crest Country club here tomorrow morn inS.
 Eighteen holes will be played in the morning and eight in the afternoon, if needed. the afternoon round start ing at 1:20 o'clock.
 Mrs. Gaut won hr way into the finals by defeating Mrs. Kenneth Duffield of Memphis today. Play ing brilliant game Mrs. Gaut did not allow her opponent a hole, gave her but three halves and checked her at the clubhouse on No Il green, up and to play.
 with Mrs. Herman Gartner of Fort Worth, who fought pluckily against overwhelming odds and stuck along to the seventeenth green.
 Mrs. Gaut broke loose with the best brand of golf she has shown since the tourney started last Mon day. Mrs. Duffield missed her first tee shot and never got up.
 Coming off No. 2, Mrs. Gaut was but three over fours with a 31 for the seven holes.
 Her card for the tirst mine was 41, the lowest nine holes shot in the tourney so far and she was still shooting pars when she becam @ hungry at the club house and finished the match. Her card was an even bogey for the first nine.
 Mrs. Lowndes ordinarily would en- joy an advantage over Mrs. Gartner of 30 to 50 yards on her long game as the Fort Worth golfer is small and light hitter, but what Mrs. Gartner lacks in distance she makes up for in fight and grit. Mrs. Gartner also was undoubtedly favored by fortune in spots. This was shown particu- larly on No. where she shot into the lake only to sec her ball skip across the water and climb the bank on the far side, then roll on the green.
 Again on No. 13, sne bunkered her third but the ball hopped the bunker and rolled 50 yards to the green. She won the hole by sinking a 45 footer over a rolling green with a par four.
 On No. IA, Mrs. Gartner shot two balls out of bounds, then holed out a 50-yard mashie for the hole. which squared the match.
 Mrs. Lowndes, while taken aback by those upsets, was never down to her opponent.

 No parking on Avenue F between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets on the side next to the Hillman hospital is the provision of an ordinance be- ing drawn by Commissioner W. B.

Reasons advanced are that 1t will make the street safer for the chill dren attending the school in that Vi- cinity; it will open up and keep open the entrances to the hospital for ann balances bringing in hurry call cases and will to some extent relieve the patients in the hospital of the racket of racing motors under the windows of the rooms where they lie suffer ing and i'll.
 Many persons of the neighborhood are interested in the ordinance and have requested that such law be drawn and passed, and upon the re quest of those citizens Commissioner Cloe has taken the necessary steps to give the relief sought. Opposition is not anticipated.
