FORT WORTH, Tex, May as
Two unique characters Of American
women's golf-one beautiful young
mother devoted to two infant
daughters and the other an unor-
thodox swinger who mastered the
game without q teacher-meet today
for the Southern title.
Backed by the homefolk was
their favorite daughter. lovely Mrs.
Frank Goldthwaite. Opposite her
stood Mrs. Estelle Lawson page,
stout, genial Chapel Hill, N. c.,
woman, daughter of an old-time
professional baseball player, who
uses a baseball grip" and a power
swing.
Never Had Golf Lesson.
Nine years ago Mrs. Page started
playing golf after earning title to q
Phi Beta Kappa key while a stu
dent at the University of North
Carolina. Two weeks after she fin
gered her first golf club she quail
fed for the championship flight of
her State tournament.
Two weeks after that she qualified
for this same Women's Southern
Golf Association Tournament, and
won her first two matches.
Just to give the story its final
Cinderella touch, she used only four
clubs!
Six years later she won the ma
tional title, In 1887.
Never has she taken a golf lesson.
She ignores the overlapping or in
terlocking grip, grabs a club like
baseball bat and makes terrific
shots. She is uncanny around the
green's.
First Hole Loss Good Omen.
Mrs. Goldthwaite. who she has
defeated in their only other meet
ings-once in the Southern and once
in the National, the latter with a
great nine-hole round of 32-won
the Southern in 1888. She now
holds the Texas title for the third
time.
Strange, also, is a golfing pecu-
liarity of hers, she admitted after
losing the first hole to Kay Pearson
Of Houston.
"You know, losing the first hole
of match is my good luck in golf
Only once in my tournament career
have I lost a match after losing the
first hole"
Then she set about to defeat Mis-.
Pearson, and 2. and enter the
finals.

Just when Mr.. Frisch feels that he

across his line Of vision, and Frank
forgets his troubles.
I've heard it said that umpires
affect Mr.. Frisch as a red flag affects

maddens the umpire, but the umpire
provides Frisch with wholesome re-

Desperate Yankees
Emerge From Fog
By GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, May Is (N.AN.A).-
A year ago today the Yankees were
in front. They had taken command
of the American League race and,
with more than four months Of
play stretching ahead of them, the
other clubs were beginning to settle
down into a tussle for second place.
The big push was on-and nothing
was to stop the Yankees but the
final out in the last game OF the
World Series in Cincinnati.
The Yanks were in front-and the
race, although scarcely begun, was
over. On the far horizon another
pennant loomed and the wise-crack-
ing experts were saying that, over
in the National League, the Reds
had the best chance to take beat
ing in October.
Joe Mccarthy had nothing to
worry about, although he probably
was doing little worrying, anyway,
because he likes to worry. Joe
Di Maggie was out of the lineup
nursing a leg injury and Lou Gehrig,
although nobody knew 1t definitely,
was through for all time. But Red
Ruffing was moving along and the
Yanks were slamming the ball be-
hind him and the other pitchers
