clinched that title for another year
today when she gave Miss Ruth
White of the Indianapolis Country

golf lesson in the final match of the
1929 city tournament at Coffin mu-
nicipal links by the score Of 8 up
and 6 to play. Miss Dunn repre-
sented Avalon Country Club in the
city meet.

four strokes more than mems par.

until the eighteenth, which she
scored in 2, a birdie that gave her

puts and win the hole with a S.
The next hole was halved in fiveS.
