TINE women OF the Indianapolis
L District Golf Association got
away to flying start on their sea-
son program with an eighteen-hole
medal handicap tournament over
Hillcrest Country Club course yes
terday. Seventy members took
part and with the course in tip
top shape and the weather ideal fol-
golf, some very nice scores We're
turned in.
When Mrs. George o. Stewart
president; Mrs. Melville Cohn, vice
president, and Mrs. Irene Olsen, Sec
rotary and treasurer, gathered at the
scorers table to sort out the net
score totals preparatory t., awarding
twenty-eight prizes, they also sorted
out a few low gross scores for pub
LEGATION purposes.
They awarded Mrs. Freeman P
Davis of Highland prize for being
fifth low net with 70, but if you
ask Mrs. Davis she would much pre-
fer to have it mentioned that she
was the low gross shooter of the
tournament with an 80.
Prizes are nice, but golfers like
low gross scores, and for a woman
player who practices as much as
Mrs. Davis in an effort to better her
game, an 80, within four strokes Of
women's par at Hillcrest, is quite
satisfying.
Miss Elizabeth Dunn of Highland,
city champion, was not in the field.
Whether or not she could have bet
tered Mrs. Davis mari of 80 is an
other matter. Mrs. Davis was there.
A LASSIE coming right along in
L n this golf game, Miss Caroline
Varien of Riverside and Coffin
courses, went home with second low
gross with an g. That was not a
big surprise to many of her ad-
mirers, however.
Mrs. c. A. Jaqua of Highland
came in third with a 90, while three
players, Miss Dorothy Ellis of
Meridian Hills, Miss Harriet Ran
dali of Pleasant Run and Miss
Claribel Davidson of Hillcrest all
had 91s.
Since it was a handicap tourna-
ment and Mrs. Stewart distributed
tWenty-eight prizes on that basis, it
is only fair that we mention Mrs.
E. A. Crane of Hillcrest as the first
low net prize winner with SO. She
had SO gross, with 25 handicap.
Miss Varien was second with &c.
Mrs. Albert GoldStein of Broadmoor
and Miss Anna Mae Jones of Hill
crest tied for third with IT'S. Mrs.
Davis and Mrs. Don Jenkins of
Meridian Hills tied for fifth with
72's.i
RFRS. SUSIE HUTCHINSON of
w Hillcrest and Mrs Bernard
Kirshbaum of Broadmoor tied Tor
thirteenth with IT'S, while Mrs. H.
NJ Morris, Meridian Hills, Mrs.
Ralph Stonehouse, Coffin; Mrs.
George Weaver, Meridian Hills;
Miss Virginia Owens, Mrs. James L.
Murray of Meridian Hills and Mrs.
w. H. Bridges of Meridian Hills all
tied for fifteenth place with 78s
Mrs. David Lurvey, Broadmoor, and
Mrs. Jaqua, Highland. tied for
tWenty-second place with 79s. Mrs
Carl Cutter of Pleasant Run, with
80, gained with a II stroke handicap,
received twenty-fourth position, but
Mrs. Frank Mills of Highland and
Mrs Ralph Flood of Meridian Hills
each with 6Os gained by 22-stroke
handicaps, were obliged to draw for
the last prize. Mrs. Flood won.
Three prizes were awarded to
players with the highest net scores.
Mrs. Kathleen Hoffa of Speedway
and Mrs Charles Campbell of Hill
crest tied with Ill, and Mrs. Guy
Craig of Hillcrest had 1O3.
TINE depression is over for the
l. caddies. Highland recently
raised the ante to ST. per round, but
added a stipend that the club toters
rake the sand traps, cut grass and
do few other chores about the
course when business wasn't so
heavy. Yesterday Meridian Hills
raised its eighteen-hole fee to 81,
with other fees based on the same
scale, and today HillcreSt followed.
We understand Broadmoor is to fol-
low along soon and no doubt that
will be the fee again at all courses.

a large pro-amateur tournament
L n was held at Noblesville yester-
day over the Forrest Park course.
with twenty-four teams participa-
ing. MaSsie Miller was the host and
the boys say he had the little nine
hole layout in tip-top shape.
Fifteen pros drew amateur part
ners until the simon pure" supply
was exhausted Then, amateurs
teamed up together.
When it was all over, MasSie and
his partner, R. Bennett of Indian
apolis, had a strange hold on first
place with best ball OF "a. Course
par is 70. Bennett had the help of
a five-stroke handicap, which he
used to good advantage on the holes
where it fell.
An amateur team of Walter
Chapman of Indianapolis and Wal
ter Essington, NoblesviIle, gained
second place honors with a 81. one
stroke better than another team of
amateurs, H. B. Smith and John
