Impatient at lack of word from
Georgia authorities, Mr.. and Mrs.
Viggo c. Thyrring left Washing
ton early today to check person
ally on the report received by
local police Thursday that their
missing 15-year-old daughter,
Alva, has been located.
The girl, who was last seen on
october Is when she left her
home at AIT Oglethorpe st. N. W.,
ostensibly for class at Central
High School,, has been the object
Of a feverish police search since
her disappearance. Descriptive cir
culars were sent to every section
Of the country in an effort to To-
cate her and the fear her daugh-
ter had met with foul play re.
suited in the mothers physical
breakdown.
On Thursday, Capt. Bernard w.
Thompson, who led the local
police hunt for the girl, received
letter from a farmer living in
Oliver, Ga. The writer, c. B.
Pryor, said a girl answering the
description of Alva Thyrring had
been picked up by him in the
Savannah farmers market. She
gave the name, he said, Of Mary
Antoinette Kent and told him she
had lived in Washington until two
years ago.
Authorities, convinced the girl
is the one they seek, Immediately
dispatched detailed descriptions
Of the Thyrring girl to Screvin
county authorities, but have re-
ceived no response.
The parents believe she is their
long missing daughter. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thyrring are expected to ar
rive in Augusta late tonight.

BY WALTER McCALLUM,

Stan correspondent OF Inc StaI.
IN INEHURST, N. c., November
- 16.-Some guy is going wild
over this 6,900-yard golf
course of the Pinehurst Coun-
try Club today and tomorrow and
play the double circuit in 141 strokes
to win the medal and lead the field
in the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton championship. But 81 other guys
can lay back and shoot themselves a
couple of passably fair rounds and get
into the match play rounds for John
Revolta's title day after tomorrow.
Donald Ross, the man who built
the famed No. 2 layout here, took a
look at the wind clouds this morning
and predicted that scoring is going
to be plenty high in the medal rounds
today and tomorrow. He forecasts
that 1872 will make the field of "a
qualifiers and that some fellow is go
ing to 60 red hot and blast the ball
around the much-bunkered layout
in 141 for the double circuit. But
most OF the pros aren't so sanguine.
They think it will take 1856 to get in
or a couple of TBS, and that If the
weather really gets rough, 158 may
slide in. It won't worry John Re-
volta, however, for the bushy-haired
champion is in automatically. He
will be at the top of the draw in the
match rounds Wednesday, but he'll
play in the medal rounds just the
same to keep on his mallet and to
have a crack at the medal.
Walper Playing Well.
I EO WALPER lone D. c. entrant,
should qualify without trouble.
Leo has been playing very we'll dur

He had his highest round in five days
yesterday, n that came on day
when the ball acted like balloon in
q wind which tore the needles from
half the pine trees in Moore County,
forced the boys to don heavier sweat
ers and bundle up in leather jackets
and made 'em learn, if they didn't
low shots. Walper played today with
Walter Kozak and Alex Follmer, and
drew a good pairing. Both his part
ners are good golfers, and will lead
Walper a fast chase. Just as he
does around Washington, Walper
spends his spare hours on Maniac
Hill, the practice ground, when he
isn't actually playing golf. You
won't find many men who work
harder at the game than the Walper
gent.
