IDETTWEILER AND.
.MECKLEY CLASH.
in MA FEATURE.
BY Lillian RIXEY

Meckley, Middle Atlantic cham.
pion for two years running, today
faces her most difficult opponent
in Helen Dettweiler, of Congress
sional, Maryland State titlist, in
the quarterfinal round of the
Middle Atlantic championship
over the Rodgers Forge layout.
With her own club champion
ship annexed just last week, Helen
is out to add to her many trophies
the only sectional title in these
environs that she has never won.
If Mrs. Meckley can hold Miss
Dettweiler today, as she appears
confident she can, nothing can
stop her from repeating her for
mer victories, although this years
tournament entries more than
make up in quality for what they
lack in quantity.
Helen'S score yesterday in elimi-
mating Mrs. H. c. Trace, OF Baltl-
more, was only a few strokes off
the competitive course record Of
79 which she set day before in
taking medaliSt's honors, while
Mrs. Meckley was four over par on
her out nine and one over on the
back nine to defeat Mrs. Charlotte
Stern of Indian Spring, and 3.
DARK-HORSE ENTRY
Mrs. Walter Stokes, another In
dian Springer, is due to give Mrs.
Jerome Sloman, Baltimore cham
pion, plenty of trouble today if
her score yesterday in eliminating
Mrs. K. S. Giles, also of Indian
Spring, is any indication Of her
current golfing proves. Mrs.
Stokes was out in a one-under-par
80 and only one over par on the
back nine when she picked up at
the end of the match on the thir-
teenth hole. Playing in regula-
ton figures, as far as she went,
she stood a good chance of max
ing a par 78.
Mrs. Sloman yesterday barely
nosed out the veteran Effie BoweS,
up on the eighteenth, after card
ing an IS to Miss Bowes' 86. She
will have to do much better than
that today to make any dent in
Mrs. Stokes current hot streak.
Mrs Myron Davy of Congress
sional is favored to take her match
with Mrs. M. Louise Bell. runner
up in the recent Baltimore tourna-
ment, but not without a struggle.
MISS BROWN STRONG
Marion Brown encounters an
other Oriole City veteran tomor'
row in seven-time Maryland State
champion, Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow,
who yesterday upset Miss Evelyn
Marvin, the dark horse Of the
tournament, and 2, with neat
80. Marion carded an 80 to elimi-
nate Mrs. T. E. Schluderberg, Bal
timore C. C. invitation tourna-
ment winner, 2 up. On her out
nine. Marion had five three-putt
greens for a "A, but finished the
back nine with a one-over-par 80.
Before the day is over, there is
a good chance that the semi-finals
of the 1888 Middle Atlantic may
find only Washingtonians in the
upper and lower brackets of play.
