ONLY two years a golfer and to-
day she has won both the gross
and net spots in a major woman's
golf tournament. 1t causes any OBJ
server to wonder just how good Mrs.
Walter R. Stokes of Indian Spring
is going to be when she gets a little
more competition and little ironing
out Of the rough spots in a game that
daily grows stronger Mrs Stokes,
no foolin', has been playing golf only
two years.
She hadn't played in a tour
nament until April 22 last and
didn't know anything about
the tournament game.
But she holds the Keefer Trophy
today, won at Chevy Chase yesterday
from field that included all the top
notchers of the Capital except Helen
DettWeiler. and to make 1t more i'm
pressive the Stokes girl not only
Won the net award but led in the
gross chase aS well. She shot rounds
OF 88 and "a with a handicap of 8
shots per round to win the Keefer
Cup with a net OF 1856. Her gross
score OF 172 led in that class. but Of
course being able to take only one
prize OTIS custom of the Womens
District Golf Association) she took
the net award. One wonders where
this youthful links prodigy is going
when she really gets into the swing
OF things. Certainly at the tender golf
ing age OF two years she's a decided
challenge to the other women who've
been at the game much longer. Four
shots back came Ellen Kincaid, the
Congressional miss, with a gross of
IT'S and net of 100. Mrs. j. E. Nell
| OF Manor and Mrs. l.. G. Pray Of the
