WOMAN GOLF STARS
PRESS PRO EXPERTS

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 25.-Masculine
golf today was able to chalk up a vic
tory over the feminine brand, but
only after a close handicap match.
Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen
were pressed to their best efforts to
defeat Maureen Orcutt and Glenna
Collett, after conceding them six
bisques, in a special match yesterday
at the Biltmore Shores Golf and
Country Club at Massapegua, n. Y.
The score was and /.
A slight nervousness which the more
experienced pros did not feel handi-
capped the feminine stars at the start,
but they steadied to give almost
etroke for stroke in the later holes.
The girls bisques were exhausted
after II holes. Time after time when
the men won a hole it was only
through the magic wand touch of
Hagens famous putting. In driving
the girls We're never badly worsted,
getting off some brilliant tee shots
on their own account.
Hagen with 10 tied the record for
the nine-hole course. while Miss Or
cutt established a new women's mark
with 70. Sarazen turned in a 70, and
Miss Collett an 81.
Raw weather handicapped the girls.

boring Army posts, one Of which they

What will be the effect of the with
drawal of the English girl athletes
from the Olympic meet of 1928? viii
the withdrawal of a group of the most
prominent competitors in the women's
events lead to sympathetic action on
the part of others of their sex unless
they are given the same consideration
as the male participants in the ar.
rangement of the program?
Undoubtedly, the part played by the
Women's Amateur Athletic Associa-
ton in England has been an important
one in past Olympiads as is evidenced
by the world records held at present
by members of the group. Phyllis
Green holds the world amateur high
jump record of feet, Tx inches,
Daisy Crossley claims the world walk
ing records of half a mile and 1000
meters, while Rose Thompson is joint
holder with a Czechoslovakian girl, of
the 100-yard sprint record of IL 2-5
seconds; not to mention the formidable
showing always made by British
women at tennis.
If no other effect is felt from the
absence of the british athletes, it is
certain that the woman's program will
suffer from the standpoint of competi.
ton and general interest by their loss.
