BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Washington's all-star feminine
golf team, which has had its troubles
against the best that Philadelphia
has put in against them, won't have
any easier time of 1t next Friday
when they clash with the women
from the Quaker City because the
veteran Betty Meckley won't be in
there with a better -than-fair chance
of winning point or two.
Betty lies in Doctors Hospital
today, following what her friends
describe as minor operation. She
may 60 home today, or her return
home may be delayed for a day or
two. That depends on the orders
of the medicos, according to Mrs.
Frank r. Keefer, constant visitor.
But it is sure that Betty won't be
ready to play in the Philadelphia
team match next Friday. She may
be able to play in the Middle At
lantic championship at Chevy Chase
early in October, but even that ism t
certain.
With Mrs. Meckley out of the
matches the Washington women
will have only an outside chance of
whipping a strong Philadelphia
team. for Marion Brown also will be
absent from the coming affair. Put
those two stalwarts on the WASH
ington team and the local outfit
might have a chance Take them
of, as they are of, and there isn't
much chance. Add to it the fact
that Mrs. Myron Davy is in Cad-
fornia getting ready for the women's
national championship and you have
what probably will be the answer:
a licking for the local gals. which
won't be new to them against Phila-
delphia.
AS matter of fact. the schedule
makers might have put an impor-
tant match such as this one after
the national with benefit to CON-
petitors from both cities, for some
of the stars of the Philadelphia
team also will be in California.
Mrs. Martin Washington Champ.
At the Washington Golf and
Country Club Mrs. Wilda Martin
reigns again as club champion, fol-
lowing her 2 and l victory over
Anne Reh. They didn't play any
par-shattering golf but Mrs. Martin
proved the better over the final
match.
Miss Reh sprang into a three
hole lead, but Mrs. Martin kept
whiting away until she squared at
the 18th and won the 14th to 20
up. They halved the next two
holes and Mrs. Martin, who won the
title in 1888. tucked it away again
by annexing the 17th. Mrs Lafayette
Franklin won the consolation when
Mrs. Douglas Tschiffely defaulted.
George Diffenbaugh, Kenwood
pro. wants to know more about the
game Of golf the sports writer's

his doleful surprise, when the sports

Pros Rote Word One Of Best
Amateurs in Many Yeors

The general opinion among the
leading pros is that Bud Ward is
one of the finest amateurs of many
years. He is ranked close to Bobby
Jones and Lawson Little. as one who
could hold his own with the best of
the professionals at either match or
medal play.
AS Gene Sarazen says-"What
more can you ask? He is first
class wood club player and fine,
long iron player He can pitch and
putt. He is exceptionally good
around the green's He has the
winning type of temperament This
doesn't mean he won't have his bad
days and get beaten-even by some
amateur well below him in skill
He has the shots and he knows how
10 play them. He also has the
needed confidence in himself"
1t also was agreed generally that

Ray BilloWs was one of the best OF
the competitors. He proved that on

was bunkered badly on his second
shot He looked to be completely
out OF the winning picture. The ball
was resting In the sand close to a

Emperor Jones Suddenly

Watching Bobby Jones in the GAL

began his championship career "a
years ago. He was only IA when he
reached the last eight at Merton in
1915 and for a while had Bob
Gardner, defending champion, on
the run.
Bobby suddenly has come back

1T would have been a crime for
a 14-year-old kid to have won,"
Bob said. but I didn't think then
that it was going to take me seven
more years to break through. I guess
the answer is that I learned more

have learned as a winner"
