MISS LEITCH BOWS
TO MISS WETHERED
Ey the Associated Press

Ey the Associate Press
NORTHWoOD, England, April .
After lapse of two years Miss Joyce
Wethered and Miss Cecil Leitch re-
sumed their rivalry in golf yester-
day Miss Wethered won. ! and ,.
1t was the seventh match between
the young women and the fourth vic
tory for Miss Wethered, who is re-
sarded by British followers of the
game far and away the best woman
golfer in the world
Those who watched the match
seemed inclined to recognize the su-
periority of Miss Wethered. who, un-
der the soft skies of Niddlesex
played superbly and with cool con-
fidence from the first tee to the ff-
teenth green, where the matches
ended.
Miss Wethered made but one faulty
Shot-She topped braSSie approa cf
to the fourteenth. She squared the
hole. however, as the ball of Miss
Leitch, after three puts, was still
out of the cup.
1t was in her second shots and her
accurate use OF the putter that Miss
Wethered made victory certain from
the outset. The players squared the
first two holes. and then Miss Weth-
cred pitched mashie shot UP to the
pin on the short third and got a
birdie" two. She went two up AT
the fourth and retained that lead al
the turn. increasing it at the tenth
and eleventh so as to make victory
certain. She was only two over
bogey for the fifteen holes played
going out in 40, as compared with
Miss Leitch'S AZ
Golf critics who for two years had
been waiting the return of Miss
Leitch to competitive play were OF
the opinion that there no longer was
any doubt of Miss Wethered's supe-
riority over her. At twentyt three
years of age Miss Wethered is ten
years younger than Miss Leitch, and
the consensus of opinion among the
experts today was that the latter has
seen her best days as a golfer and
that there is none among the young
er group of woman golfers on this
side of the ocean who can give Miss
Wethered a hard match.
