Evening star., 1928-09-10

With renewed celerlty. At%Hle
instance of Walter r. Mitchell,
vice president of the association and
chairman of the golf committee at
Princess Anne, where the tournament
is to be held October 9-13. inclusive,
women's committees have been formed
for the fixture and everything possible
done in advance for the entertainment
of the competitors. The committees at
Norfolk are as follows Executive, Mrs.
Barham Jones. chairman; Mrs. j. Jett
Mccormick, Mrs. Frank George and
Mrs. Willard Sullivan.
Entertainment. Mrs. Walter r. Mitch
ell. chairman; Mrs. S. L. Slower and
Mrs. L. H. Windholz.
At least a dozen of the woman golf
ers about Washington are planning 10
play in the fixture which comes two
weeks after the womens national cham
pionship at Hot Springs, Va.
A sizable group of Washington wom-
an golfers are looking forward to the
title event the last week in September.
Even though 1t is hardly likely that any
of the woman players from Washing
ton will cut a wide swath In the chase
for the title now held by Mrs. Miriam
Burns Horn of California. delegation
of six or eight fair players from the
National Capital will go to Hot Springs.
Va. to watch the top liners OF womens
golf struggle for the crown.
GIenna ColIett Favorite.
Glenna Collett of Providence again is
favored to win. as she usually Is IN
these women's events But Miss Col
lett, notwithstanding the admitted fine
game she possesses, has been Singularly
unfortunate in the women's champion
ship. She is the Bobby Jones Of wonl-
ems golf, but she does not reign su-
preme as does Bobby in the mems anna
teur. For only twice has she been able
to win the national. The first time she
came through in the South. in the 1922
championship played at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, where she downed Mrs.
W. A. Gavin by wide margin in the
final. Two years later she won by a
scant margin at the tourney in Con-
necticut from Miss Mary Browne. who
was declared tennis professional two
years ago.
Woman golfers from Washington who
expect to make the trip to Hot Springs
to play in and watch the championship
include Dorothy White of Washington.
the champion of the District for three
years: Winifred .Faunce of Manor
probably her most persistent rival for
the title; Mrs. Alma Won Steinner. un-
attached, and runner-up to Miss White
last year: Mrs H. A. Knox, Mrs. Ger
trude Chapman and Mrs. r. Lester
Rose of Congressional. All these women
also expect to play in the womanS
championship of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association at Virginia Beach the
second week in October.
Not for many years has an entrant
from Washington figured to any ex-
tent in the woman's national. Back In
the dim and distant days Of the game
the womans title chase was held at
Chevy Chase-in 1908. when golf was
hardly the highly competitive game it
is TODAY. It would be refreshing indeed.
if one or two of the woman players OF
Washington qualified in the national.
for women's golf around washington
has not progressed as far nationally as
has the game of the men. There are
no Roland MacKenZieS or George Voigts
in women's golf about Washington. al
though a little big time experience
would very likely convert Dorothy
White into ranking star.
More than 80 golf pros of Maryland,
Virginia and District clubs were en-
gagged today in So holes of play over the
Indian Spring course. Two OF this
number will qualify to compete in the
Professional Golfers Association cham
Five Farms, near Baltimore, the flrst
week in october. a5
