inptOn with a SDecial golf

ME Ullly CluU dIOullu WoOll-
ington with a special golf
course for women is going
u in for collecting feminine
golf trophies in a big way this
season.
Woman golfers of the Manor Club,
which has more feminine enthusiasts
in the links game than any other
club about Washington, are not going
to win the first team championship
this year, but they have done a fairly
good job of corralling lot of the
prizes handed out in the various
Women'S events about the Capital this
year.
To be sure, the Manor women have
yet to win a team championship, but
they completely dominated the re-
cent District wonen's championship
and now one of them has come along
and won the Times Trophy. They
gathered more than a half dozen
prizes in the District title chase, and
as Mrs. Elizabeth c. Harris, president
of the Women's District Association,
passed out the silver, cries of Manor"
arose from the ranks of the fair golf
ers who gathered to see the prizes
given out.
In other tournaments this year the
story has been much the same, for
although Manor women had not won
a major tourney this year until Wini-
fred Faunce annexed the District title,
they figured extensively in the win
ming of the second, third and fourth
prizes.

Miss Faunce Lacks Time.

(WHICH is a tip-off on the fact
wv that Manor next year, pro-
vided the club can put its full
strength in the field, may be a far
more formidable competitor in the
women's team tourney than it has
been. One factor looms as a bad
spot for Manor. winnie" Faunce,
the District champion, does not have
enough leisure time to play in all
the team matches. Miss Faunce works
for a living and is not able to take
time off from her duties in the Post
Office Department to play in all the
matches. With her as the leader OF
the team Manor might go far in the
matches next year.
A big part of the rise Of the wom-
en- of the Manor Club in local golf
is that little golf course called the
'inside nine" which is set aside al
most exclusively for them. Short and
we'll trapped. that course has done
more than any one thing to enable
the Manor women 10 get anead N
golf; the course and their own de-
termination. When the men are
using the big course on crowded week
ends the women have their own lay
out on which to play. 1t demands
straightness from the tee and accur-
acy with the irons, the same factors
that win matches on longer golf
courses. Mrs. Lucille G. Pray, the
woman who was the real sensation OF
the District championship, developed
her fine game on the inside nine" at
Manor. So did Mrs. D. M. McPher-
son, the winner of the Times Cup a
few days ago.
Call it what you will, determine
ton or ability, those Manor women
are forging ahead in golf. 1t won't be
long before they will definitely be a
factor in the interclub team matches.
