A scheduled pro-amateur tourney at
Suburban Club of Baltimore yester-
day was postponed.
A WELL balanced field of women
n players, perhaps the strongest
ever to compete for the District
women's golf championship, started
match play today in the chase for
the scalp of Winifred Faunce. the
sturdy Manor Club player, who holds
the record for the lowest qualifying
score ever made in the classic.
Winnie" Faunce, strong and
sturdy, waced around the soggy COL
umbia course yesterday In 80 strokes
to win the medal by two shots and
set a record for scoring in the
women's tourney. She met Mrs. Don
Scott of Indian Spring today in the
opening round and had no easy row
to hoe, for Winnie's golhng reputa-
ton is that as a medal player she
is exceptionally good, but as match
player she lacks something. How
ever the present tournament may
prove to be something else again.
Certainly the Manor girl got off to
great start.
Not in many years have the fair
stars had a worse day for golf than
yesterday, but through all the rain
Miss Faunce and Betty Meckley, who
shot an "a, maintained the even
tenor of their way, stroking the ball
as if the sun was shining. Miss
Faunce had two bad holes, too, the
sixth, where she took an s, and the
twelfth, where she took a z. She
negotiated each nine in Al.
Mrs. Meckley's card was marked by
a birdie 8 on the ninth hole where
she stuck a spoon second shot 10
feet from the pin and holed the putt
