BROWN was startled to receive
a telegram from the secretary
Of the Women's Eastern Golf
Association to the effect that
they would not clear her handi-
cap for the national through
that organization because
Manor Club from which she
entered had not found it neces-
sary to pay its Eastern dues for
three years.
According to the announce
ment of the national tOurna-
ment, a player might enter
through her sectional aSsOcia-
ton or direct by sending on
five scores to U. S. G. A. head
quarters in New York for a
working handicap basis.
Willing to Pay
Manor was perfectly willing to
pay up its arrears so MARION
could enter through Eastern,
but her father, FALBERT P.
BROWN, took a snort cut. He
called the U. S. G. A. long dis
tance, explained that Manor was
a member in good standing of
the U. S. G.. A. and asked why
that membership was not suf-
ficient to pass MARION
through to the nationals with
her Manor handicap of two.
After all, why not cut out the
middle man?
The U. S. G. A. secretary ruled
that he wGS correct and Gc-
Cepted the Manor handicap.
Dith MRS. C. P. MEDLEY'S
sanction, thus establishing q
precedent Uhich may cost the
Eastern association a teW local
club GttilidteS.
MRS. MYRON DAVY also re-
ceived a telegram from Eastern
notifying her that the handi-
cap of IL which they had on
record for her made her in
eligible to compete in the ma
tional. MRS. DAVY was pleased
to inform them through MRS.
c. P. MEDLEY, women's Dis
trict Handicapped, that she had
cut it down to S, one under the
limit for entrants.
