BOSTON, Aug. 2s.-The most
formidable British women's golf team
ever assembled has reached the United
States for another crack at the only
international sports trophy that still
has eluded John Bull-the Curtis
Cup.
Four players from Scotland. two
from Ireland and two from England
comprised the team that debarked
yesterday-and, believe it or not, there
was nary a squabble the whole trip
over.
"Oh. no." said Mrs Wallace Will
Hanson, team manager. we're much
too intent on winning this year. Our
team is as strong, if not stronger, than
the one which held America to a tie
In Scotland two years ago"
Invader Cracks Mems Par.
Though the United States has
won two of the three series played
and tied the other. it is by no means
short-ender to repeat in the
matches September 7-S at the Essex
Country Club, in nearby Manchester.
Three Of the reasons are Mrs. j. B.
Walker, who won her match at Chevy
Chase. Nd, four years ago; Miss Car
RE Tiernan, the 22-year -old baby"
Of the team, who won the New Jersey
State title last year. and Mrs A. M.
Holm, the present British champion
Mrs. Walker, it was learned, recently
had round Of II on the 6,600-yard
Troon course, scene Of the British open
this year.
1nasmuch as this is three under
mems par, the obvious question was
whether she had thrown the ball
around the course.
Mrs. Holm . Beauty.
"Oh, no" replied Mrs. Williamson,
shes just veddy veddy good. But, Mrs.
Holm here, our champion. has done
even better. She has had a 50 at Troon
and 68 at Ellie
Mrs. Holm is tall. blond and beau
tlful-so beautiful, in fact, that she
more resembles Hollywood movie
vamp than an athlete.
The longest hitter on the team, Mrs.
Holm can drive as far as some men
professionals, Mrs. Williamson said
The British champion is certain to
play the No. spot, and after that the
lineup depends on what happens in
the practice rounds.
Six OF the players. Miss Elsie Corlett,
q free-lance journalist. who is the
only working girl in the group; Miss
Jessie Anderson, Miss Nan Baird, Miss
Phyllis Wade, Mrs Holm and Mrs. Will
