self, yielded her nothing more than an
81 in a practice round over the Column
bia course yesterday, mark that has
not been. touched by a woman golfer
since Dorothy White Nicolsoh shot
sctntillating 79 in winning the District
woman's title over the same course
earlier in the season.
Woman golfers who tried the course
yesterday found a Columbia course
whose tricky putting green's were not
made any easier by blustery wind
which turned good puts into bad ones
and carried the ball hither and yon
with considerable abandon. Notwith-
standing the conditions, Miss Holzderber
continued along the even tenor of her
scoring way, registering her 81 without
any particular trouble and Anding the
long holes to her liking.
The other day Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow
of Elkridge, who held the title two
years ago, came over to Columbia and
shot an 81, With an on one hole,
which also sounds like bad medicine for
the woman golfers of Washington who
hope to be up in the title chase.
This years championship, which
starts Monday over the Columbia course,
will be the best the association ever
has held. From the time the tourna-
ment date was set Mrs. William S.
Corby, president of the District Womsn's
Golf Association, worked unremittingly
to secure the entries Of many of the
women who play in the District events,
and to her is due most of the credit
for the sizeable entry list, according to
the officers of the Middle Atlantic
Association.
From Virginia have come the State
champion, in the person of Mrs. Jean
Jones, and a former holder OF the title,
also by the name of Jones-this time
Mrs. w. Barham Jones Of Norfolk. Miss
Holzderber who holds the mid-Atlantic
and Maryland State titles; Mrs. Dor
othy White Nicolson, holder Of the Dis
E trict title; Mrs. j. M. Haynes, holder OF
two club titles, and q number OF other
woman golfers who have not yet won
titles comprise the field. The pairings
are to be made today, and there are
approximately go entrants, nearly dou-
BILE the number who entered last year
ut Virginia Beach.
Mrs. Haynes and Mrs. Nicolson are
regarded as Washington's outstanding
entrants in the tourney. Mrs. Nicolson
is the Columbia record holder. while
Mrs. Haynes knows every quirk and
turn of the course and is as determined
a match player as the District title
holder. The battle for a place in the
first flight on Monday should be keen.
The first pair will get under way about
o'clock, with the rest OF the neld
following at five-minute intervals.

Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase secured
q on the fifth hole at Columbia yester-
day. But-and there is but to the
story, the hole was not played from
the regular tee. The four-ball game
? in which Barnett was engaged finished
the match at the ninth, and wishing
to play five more holes, dropped balls in
the rough between the bunker on the
fifth and the ninth green. Barnett
put his iron shot on the green and
sholed q 3O-foot putt for deuce. In
!. the same game j. Monro Hunter OF
Indian Spring knocked his tee shot so
. far on the sixth hole that he reached
the green with mashie. But Barnett,
who had pushed his tee shot to the
rough, holed lengthy putt for birdie
