NEXT week about this time, Miss
~ Mary Gorham of Frankfort
president Of the Indiana Women's
Golf Association. will be heading
toward Hammond to welcome off,
cially the early arrivals for the
ninth annual state championship
tournament July 21-25 over the
Woodmar Country Club course. BY
early arrivals. we mean to say that
this golf game has been taken so
seriously by the women that they
demand being accorded several days
practice privileges on the cham
pionship course and usually get in
two or three rounds each before the
official qualifying round opens.

The other day. Meridian Hills held an
invitationaI tournament. inviting women
from all over the state to play eighteen
holes over the course where the champion
ship was settled last year. Mrs. A. E. Bull
son Of TT. Wayne. champion the past two
years. was not among the visitors, but Miss
Lou Adams, who was runner up to Mrs.
BuIson last year, being one Of the hosts
naturally had to be there. So from her
game and the rest Of the field We gain a
line on what the women are doing this
year. Lou hammered out ar 81 to win
low gross honors. Just off hand. we are
not ready to believe that Lou was shoot
ing her best golf because the other day
Lou shot a ~ over that same course
Women who regularity play around 80 were
up over 100. The terrific heat probably
had something to do with the scores.

Of thinking. came mighty near getting
eliminated a couple of times. When she
played against Miss Elizabeth Dunn. Indi-
annapolis champion and ex-state cham
pion, il was hard to choose between the
two as to which one was playing the
poorest golf during the first nine holes
Miss Dunn had PLAYED fine golf up to that
match. while Mrs. BuIson was off form all
week. She was mentally upset over her
game d was in proper position to re-
ceive an upset. Still. Miss Dunn batted
them around in the worst fashion we had
seen her play and we expected to hear
some one suggest to her that she hit 'em
left-handed.

Mrs. Bulson. Miss Dunn, after 6
winter of illness, looked pretty gooo
in the city championship play
which she won easily at Avalon
two weeks ago, and with a little
more polishing on her game should
be in great shape at Hammond. AS
we see it, her greatest hurdle is to
get by the inferiority complex
against Mrs. Bulson.
Miss Adams. attending school until June,
also is polishing her game and probably
will be there at the closing matches. Miss
Abbott of Avalon seems stale on
golf and we wonder if she will be back in
time for the state. W. have been told to
a Young lady from Wabash named
King. who played her first big
