MRS. PAYNE PRAISES TEAM
Mrs. Ralph w. Payne, president
of the Women's District Golf AS
Sociation, was enthusiastic over
the victory of the local team over
Philadelphia in Overlook yester-
day. She thrilled especially over
the fact that every one of the Dis
trict brackets contributed to the
point total
when you figure that Phila-
delphia has some 40 clubs from
which to recruit its teams as COM
pared to fewer than a dozen for
us, I think our achievement was
outstanding" Mrs. Payne said.
"All of our brackets played hard
throughout and contributed to our
point total. We were not shut out
in single bracket.
I'VE expected a victory Of Helen
Dettweiler and Mrs. Meckley," con-
tinued Mrs. Payne. We looked for
Marion Brown and Mrs. Hill to
win. What gratified me was the
splendid competitive spirit shown
by Mrs. Simons, Miss Scully, Mrs.
Godfrey and Mrs. Ludewig. 1t
must be remembered that the
Philadelphia team played women
whose handicapS was not in excess
of five. Some of our team have
much higher handicaps."
NOTES OF MATCH
Mrs. L. G. Pray was down
cast over missing a putt on the
eighteenth green. This little me
chanical slip cost a victory in
the bracket. The ball hit the cup
and refused to drop.
1t was thrilling to see Helen
Dettweiler drop that 10-footer on
the eighteenth green for a birdie
4 to close out the match. But it
was equally thrilling to see Mrs.
Meckley turn on a par to win the
eleventh and square the incom-
ing nine. Thereafter the District
team played beautifully. and Mrs.
Meckley did her share in holding
the match even.
Mrs. E. L. Howe, who as Doro-
thy Campbell Hurd, was a IA
nous champion, plays beautiful
golf. Her swing is as sweet and
smooth as a symphony, and she
gets splendid distance off the tees
and through the fairways. She
got the ball down in two from
good so feet on the eighteenth
to insure victory over Mrs. Wal
ter Stokes and Mrs. Charlotte
Stern.
Mrs. Stokes and Mrs. Stern won
the first nine and then lost their
touch. They blew the incoming
nine and the match wholly on
SteadineSS.
