championship final between Mrs. Dor
othy White Nicolson Of washington
and Mrs. J. Marvin Haynes Of Column
bia amply demonstrated the fact that
neither woman cracked under the
strain Of final round that was as
close as . match could be. Only one
hole separated the two contestants
from the sixth on, and although MRS.
Nicolson never was down from the
missed putt might have cost her the
match. MRS. Haynes tee shot at the
short sixteenth, which she won to
square the match, after losing the fif-
teenth, was one Of the finest iron shots
we have ever seen. The ball carried
just past the pin and left her but o 10
foot putt for, birdie .. Her try for
the duce stopped on the lip Of the cup
and the match was squared when Mrs.
Nicoison missed an Scooter for o 3.
Mrs. Haynes lost the match ct the
eighteenth when she apparently pressed
wooden club second shot in order to
reach the green. and smothered the
shot, the ball ending far to the left Of
the line with hill between the bah and
the green. Her third shot was over the
green and Mrs. Nicolson laid her third
shot within Q inches Of the cup. That
left Mrs. Haynes with o very hard pitch
shot over O bunker to O downl1iu green
and she nearly hOled 1t for o half, her
ball stopping only 10 inches away, In
line with the cup and past 1t. The
final amply demonstrated that the quail
ity Of women's golf about Washington Is
| Is not much difference between the two
flna1ists. There cannot be when only
one hole separates them with medal
scores of 90 and 81
