COMEWHERE along the sand-fringed
- borders Of bunkerdom there may be
O gamer, finer sportswoman than
Mrs. L. D. Nicolson, but she Is not at
this moment visible to the naked eye.
Women golfers who remember the final
match in the Middle Atlantic tourney
two years ago at Columbia will never
forget the thrill they got when the
Dorothy White that was. was down
with to go to Mrs. John N. Hodges,
and squared the match. only to lose
on the ninteenth. In the years that
have interviewed Mrs. NicolSon has for
saken tournament golf, but she has not
lost that everlasting fight, the will to
win, that characterized her when she
was winning championships around
Washington so often. Yesterday she
put on another one of those grim, last
ditch battles to carry Mrs. E. Boyd
Morrow Of Elkridge to the eighteenth
green in a semi-final match in the
womens Middle Atlantic tourney at
Indian Spring that even overshadowed
the struggle between Mrs. j. Marvin
Haynes and Mrs. Betty Meckley, the
Washington. Mrs. Haynes and Mrs.
Morrow both won and are playing in
the final for the championship today,
but you could go long way and see a
lot of golf before you would see finer
exhibition Of grim fight than Dorothy
Nicolson put on yesterday to carry the
steady Mrs. Morrow to the final hole

THE Haynes-Meckley match was a
i fine contest of skill and ability,
won by Mrs. Haynes on the
fifteenth green, where she beat the
District champion with q string Of parS.
after Mrs. Meckley had putted poorly
over the first nine holes. But the Nor
row-Nicholson match not only dis
show Of fight. Mrs. Nicolson has not
played lately with the same old skill
she used to show when she was the top
woman golfer around Washington for
so many years. She has six months
old son and her interests are divided.
For the first thirteen holes Of her
match yesterday against Mrs. Morrow
she looked like a badly beaten COM
petitor. That is, until she stood on the
the tide turned with electric rapidity
and she suddenly began to pck up hole
after hole. She won the fourteenth
with a par 3, the fifteenth with birdie
4, the long sixteenth with a par 5, the
seventeenth with q par 8 and stood on
the eighteenth tee only dormie /. She
reached the green in 8, 80 feet past the
pin, while Mrs. Morrow barely reached
the edge in a like figure. She made
game bid for her 4, the putt stopping
literally on the lip of the cup and Their
MrB. Morrow Clipped her ball up shori
and holed the putt that won the match
You could look at q lot Of golf and not
zee a finer, grimmer struggle along the
comeback trail than Mrs. Nicolsor
staged yesterday.
