BY DICK MILLER

Miss Elizabeth Dunn, city golf
champion for the last three seasons,
clinched that title for another year
Friday when she gave Miss Ruth
White of the Indianapolis Country
Club what might be regarded as
golf lesson in the final match of the
1929 city tournament at Coffin mu-
nicipal links by the score of up
and to play. Miss Dunn repre-
sented Avalon Country Club in the
city meet.
Playing the part of true cham
pion, Miss Dunn made the defeat
little easier for Miss White to sWal-
low by hanging up a 80, even wom-
ans par on the first nine and Just
four strokes more than mems par.
She equalled mems par for the next
three holes to end the match on the
twelfth green. Miss White took
As on the first nine, having six IS,
two IS and only one 4.
Five Up at Turn
Miss Dunn won six of the first
nine holes, lost one and two were
halved. She was five up at the turn.
She won the next three holes
straight to give the city tournament
the shortest final match in history,
it is believed.
With the large gallery applauding
her great drive on par the first three
holes of the last nine, Miss Dunn
agreed to play on into the club
house. She rewarded her followers
by nicking off par on every hole
until the eighteenth, which she
scored in 2, birdie that gave her
a 81 for the trip home, one under
mems par. She drove perfectly, re-
covered from any trouble she en-
countered and putted brilliantly.
Miss Dunn started the match with
a spectacular shot as she boosted
one from the trap that went as far
as Miss Whites shot from the fair
way. A beautiful approach left the
champion in position to take two
puts and win the hole with a S.
The next hole was halved in f1ves.
Miss White played the third hole
well and took two puts for a safe
5, but it was not good enough, as
the champion ran down ffteen-foot
putt for 4. The large gallery ap-
plauded.
Miss White in Rough
Miss White was in the rough on
the next hole, had trouble getting
out, but nearly sank her approach
shot from off the green. Miss Dunn
ran down a birdie against mems
par and won that hole. Miss Dunn
captured the fifth hole, to S.
Miss Dunn gave Miss White some
thing to shoot at when she sent her
tee shot on the short 11o-yard sixth
hole fifteen feet from the pin. Miss
Dunn got and Miss White a 5.
Miss White won her first hole
when Miss Dunn hit her drive into
the rough and then was short on
her approach. The Country Club
player played par golf to win the
seventh hole, SIS. Miss White over
drove the green on the eighth hole,
but the champion was to the left
and each got As.
Champ Takes Ninth
The champion won the ninth hole
to finish nine five up when she sent
a daring shot from the tee over the
trees by a short route to the green
that is around a dog leg bend. Miss
Dunn took and Miss White a S.
They matched shots down the
tenth fairway, but Miss Dunn took
the hole, to 5. Trouble was on
the challenger's trail on the elev-
enth hole and she got over into the
next fairway with her drive. Miss
Dunn again got onto the green
with a short approach third shot
and took two safe puts for a 5.
Miss White had 6. Miss Dunn
was on the green in two to get
into the cup in 4 to win the last
and deciding hole when Miss
Whites club slipped and she was
wide of the green on her second
shot, taking a to get in.
