develops" And today Marion holds
both titles. Nor is it any item of dis
credit to Queen Helen that she ab-
sorbed a licking at the hands OF
Marion Brown. Helen played golf
over that tricky Rodgers Forge course
yesterday which would have been good
enough to lick any other woman in
this sector. She scored 70 for the
round. against the par Of IS. yet she
was licked on the seventeenth green
by a girl who refused to miss shot
when the match was close; girl
whose chip shots and puts were
worthy OF any championship winner
Come on, girls, call it a draw, and
come back to the major leagues" wired
Clark Griffith and Joe Cronin, the
well-known baseball moguls Griff
and Joe play both with Marion and
Helen, but Marion must have taken
the telegram literally She performed
in true major league style. with the
finest exhibition Of golf shown by any
woman in this territory this year.
Saving her finest round for
the final, Marion always was in
the lead in that final match.
Winning the short fifth to 60 into
one-hole lead, she saw it vanish
when Helen holed lengthy putt to
square at the seventh. But Marion
won the 9Th to go to the turn / up
with a 80 against Helens 40, when
Helen three-putted the green. Helen
also three-putted the 10th to lose the
hole, and dropped the llth to Marion's
brilliantly played par 4. That was
the match. although no one knew it
at that time
Every one expected Helen to
cut loose with q string Of brides
that never materialixed.
She did win the 18th with bird 5,
but Marion holed 6-footer for half
in at the 18th. and when Helen
missed 4-footer to win the 18th the
match was on ice. Marion finished
for II.
Brown Accurate On Green.
Outstanding feature of the game
Of the new champion was her uncan-
nily accurate chipping and putting.
Al Treder taught her these lethal
shots years ago. and with Al walking
around behind the final match she put
on her finest show Of short game work.
She literally showed Helen under with
an array Of one-putt greens. And
where every one had expected Helen
to outrange the Brown girl they found
that Marion held her own with the
big shots. Marion has added many
yards to her wooden-club shots over
the past few months and today Is one
of the longest hitters of all the women
who play tournament golf in this Sec
tor.
Marion Brown today Is the
boss golfer Of all the feminine
players around the Capital. She
holds the District and Middle
Atlantic titles.
Can any girl be asked to demon
strate her ability in more outstanding
fashion?
The second flight consolation went
to Mrs. j. T. Powell Of Manor.
Long-hitting Tommy Webb. former
Maryland football star, met Iron
Man" Martin F. Mccarthy in the final
round of the Columbia Country Club
championship today, with the club di-
vided about $3.50 as to the winner.
Webb, who licked defending Champion
Harvey johnson in the second round,
downed Capt. F. L. Parks in one semi
final yesterday, while Mccarthy was
whipping Comdr. c. B. Hatch.
Mccarthy, II he wins today, can
gain leg on one Of the two club titles
for which he is eligible. Tomorrow he
will play Eddie Bean for the Beaver
Dam Club title. Mccarthy was runner
up last year to Billy Shea over the
Columbia course for the District anna
teur championship, losing on the 18th
green. That final today was strictly
an even match. Both men are good
and the new champ will be crowned
on the putting green.
