HEABODY Mass, october l.
- The finest golf ever played
/ in Woman's national COM
petition today gave Virginia
Van VIE of Chicago the 1882 title
and a 10-and-8 victory over her
arch rival, Glenna Collett Ware,
who has been champion five times
since 1922.
In crushing Mrs. Ware, who has ruined
her championship hopes three times in
the last four years, Miss Van VIE
carded brilliant morning round of 70,
four under par, and then topped it with
A for her 10 holes of afternoon play.
Her strcklng was flawless as she Snag-
ged total of six brides and an eagle
on the 38S-yard twenty-second.
she hit straight as bullet with her
woods, was sharp with her irons and
marvellous with her chips. She dropped
most OF them almost dead and did not
have really long putt all day But
three mistakes prevented her from
equaling the all-time national record
set by Mrs. Ware when she gained her
1928 title with 13-and-12 victory Miss
Van Vie was the victim of that Slaugh-
ter at Hot Springs, Va.
Glenna Wins Only Four Holes.
Mrs. Ware won but four of the %
holes and Virginia'S miScueS accounted
for three of them. The other was
earned with the birdie that opened
her afternoon round. The ex-cham-
pion was only bit off her usual form.
She had first round of 83 and stood
45 for the 10 afternoon holes Her
woods went off the line and her irons
from the short hole tees often ended in
traps. On one of her second-round
holes she hooked drive into the rough
and followed with a spoon shot that
sliced off on the other side of the fair
way.
These flaws, however, had no effect on
the outcome, for Mrs. Ware has never
performed as well against par under
national fire as her rival did today.
Mrs. Ware had to play IA holes before
getting a win. That came on the
Salem Country Clubs 187-yarder, where
Miss Van VIE trapped her tee shot and
blasted out weakly.
Miss Van Vie then got par against
birdie 4 to lose her second hole of
the day and her third miscue came

she drove trap and took coming
out. She lost her fourth and last hole
by putting her second into the pond

Have Been Frequent Foes.
Mrs. Ware and Miss Van VIE have
met SO many times in the past that
neither can remember the exact num-
Der or the places. Most OF the victories
have gone to the young matron from
Philadelphia, but by narrower margin
each year.
The new champion has qualified for
the national match play every year since
1925. She gained her second final in
1880, to be beaten 6 and by Mrs Ware
and last year they clashed in a semi
final. Mrs. Ware advancing on Cup

That victory brought her against
Helen Hicks and that chubby Long
Islander prevented Mrs Ware from
gaining her fourth consecutive national
title.
Miss Hicks contributed a bit of
women's golf history last Monday BY
becoming the first defending titlist to
fail in the qualifying test. This up
set, however, was a minor matter when
compared to the sensational 1-up VIC
tory that Charlotte Glutting, long
hitting youngster from Short Hills. N.
j., scored over Enid Wilson, the British
champion, in the quarter finals. The
brawny English girl was the most feared
competitor in the field of S5, which in
cluded the two great Canadians as well
as collection of domestic stars from
widely scattered golfing districts.
