pionship scheduled for Indian
Spring Country Club today
give high promise of spirited
action. Miss Helen Dettweiler, de-
Tending champion, is a strong
favorite to defeat Mrs. George
HuSsey of Army and Navy.
Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith, of Wood
mont, was to meet Mrs. K. S. Giles
of Indian Spring, and this should
be battle from start to finish.
If Mrs. Goldsmith can play to her
game against Mrs. Charlotte Stern
yesterday, she must be regarded
as dark horse in the tournament.
Mrs. Goldsmith carried Mrs. Stern
to the eighteenth green and fl
nally triumphed when the Indian
Spring player took three shots
from the edge of the green.
One of the battles of the day
should result when Mrs. Betty
Meckley of Indian Spring matches
pitches and puts with the long
driving Miss Marion Brown of
Manor Club and Indian Spring.
Mrs. Meckley had a hard-fought
match with Miss Louise Clayton
of Chevy Chase. After reaching
the turn three up, Mrs. Meckley
lost the tenth, but came back on
the eleventh, when Miss Clayton
encountered trouble. Mrs. Neck
ley stood off a rally by her op.
ponent and closed the match on
the seventeenth green.
HERE'S A REAL MATCH
There will be plenty of golf
when Mrs. Walter R. Stokes tees
off with Mrs. Bishop Hill. Mrs.
Stokes was out in 40 in her match
yesterday with Mrs. T. J. John
son. of Army and Navy. She won
convincingly despite the fact that
no fewer than five three-putt green's
bedevilled her morning round.
MS. Hill proved the caliber Of
her game by playing Washington
in 81 strokes a few days ago to
win the Washington Herald Cup.
Mrs. Don Hutchinson, Of Manor
Club, had one of the rare ex-
periences of the season. Her ap-
proach to the fourth hit a pine
tree and bounced from limb to
limb until it lodged in the fork
of branch waist high from the
ground. Miss Hutchinson played
it out and didn't do a bad job,
either.
Mrs. Charlotte Stern was just
little bit nonchalant. She
missed it quick" when she
stepped up to putt on the eight
zenith green and this brought
about her defeat Mrs. Gold.
smith, of Woodmont, gave Mrs.
Stern a terrific fight all the way
and deserved her victory =.
Miss Ellen Kincaid found the
combined power and steadiness
of Helen DettWeiler too much
for her.
A BRAVE LOSER
Mrs. T. J. Johnson is a swell
sportsman. She walked off the
eighteenth green after bowling to
Mrs. Walter R. Stokes, her face
wreathed in smiles II gave her
a real battle, and I'm thrilled over
it," said Mrs. johnson Mrs.
Betty Meckley found her game
on the back nine and really started
to play golf 80.
Mrs. Jack Scott, former presi-
dent of the Trans-MissiSsippi Golf
Association, would like to be in
Tulsa, Okla, today. They're play
ing the TRANSMITS tournament
there and I would meet all of my
friends" said this attractive West
ern girl Mrs. Ralph D. Payne
on the job as usual, seeing that
everything goes according to st.
Andrews in this tournament {.
Get them out and keep them
playing" is Mrs. Payne's slogan.

Mrs. P. j. Winkler, the tiny tyke
from Congressional, teeS-off in one
of the consolation matches. Al
