Miss Naomi Hull Of Kendallville.
Ind. were the words of her dad"
Dad told me / could do it, and
he is the one person l believe in
implicitly" she said after the match
That also is the way she felt aft
er the final shot, Friday. Her first
thought was that mother and dad
should hear the news and her
brother Hugh, who was in the gal
lery raced to the telephone.
I'm the happiest girl in the
world" she said. as she looked over
the large silver trophies she had won
with the title.

But golf victories grow in some
what of a golf atmosphere at her
home. Located only few PAGES
from both the Riverside and Coffin
courses and a short distance from the
South Grove course, Miss Dunn has
had the golf opportunity for years,
but never accepted it.
Efforts of her three brothers, all
of whom were caddies and one of
whom now is professional at Idle
void course, Pendleton, Ind. to start
Miss Dunn at the game in early
life failed. She preferred to hit
tin with a broomstick.
One day a golf player broke a
shaft while playing on the Riverside
course and angrily tossed the club
away. She retrieved it, and tape
and cord patched the shaft. With
this she practiced in the yard side
of her home with an old ball.
When she started to work, the club
was forgotten, but four years ago
1t was deemed necessary to get ex-
physical makeup.
II bought a set of clubs from
Chick Nelson, down at Riverside"
she said, land, see that driver, well,
that's the club, and, believe me, 1
wouldn't part with it. I still have
the same set with the exception of
an added cleek TheN club won the
title for me. Time after time when
l was in trouble in the rough the
cleek took me out and we'll down the
course
The shot that the crowd mar
veled at, from the rough on hole
10, was made with the cleel1. she
said. Next to that club and her
driver, a trusty mashie is third
prize.
A survey of her game reveals that
Miss Dunn drives a ball around $50
yards off each tee. Her mashie shots
are deadly straight in direction and
always up. Her putting is described
by the words of the gallery that
watched her match Friday.
When she was four feet away
they were not worried about the
outcome. That spells the story of
her efficiency.
Miss Dunn arises each day at 5
a. m. to be able to leave home at 6
a. m. and arrive at work at a. m.
Her working day is over at D. m.
and a street car carries her to TIE
golf course for few holes of play.
A year at the game was-enough
for her, for in 1923 she won the
Charles w. Jewett cup at South
Grove. Her form is perfect, although
self-styled She again won the
Jewett cup in 1924 and 1925. In
1925 she was runner-up to the cham
pion in the city tournament, but this
year she showed the way for the
large field of entries and won han
Oily. 1t was her performance in this
tournament that caused her friends
to encourage her to enter the State
open. which she was unable to do
last year because of a vacation at
the wrong time. In 1924 she was
two strokes over qualifying with a
104.
II feel that the championship
came to me naturally" said Miss
Dunn. II tried every minute, and
had the pleasure of playing with
some mighty good players who were
just as good sports as they were
players. My ambition is t., go high
er in the game, and, believe me, I
am going to practice for She West
ern Open and make indianapolis a
worthy entry" A
