the losers 81 900.
It's the delayed 36-hole finals of
the $1,000 international four-ball
tournament, with Craig Wood and
Billy Burke against Dick Metz and
KY Laffoon.
Rained out yesterday. the match
was postponed until today because
of a conflict with the pro-amateur
tournaments.
The winners will receive $1,000
each, the runners-up $500 apiece,
and the chances are that it will take
10 or more brides to earn the top
money.
Horton Smith and Paul Runyan,
for instance, shot thunder par golf
for 36 holes in the semi-finals-and
lost. Smith missed 3-foot putt that
cost his team minimum of S700,
and the Metz-Laffoon combination
won with a 12-below-par pace.
Wood and Burke eliminated the
powerful Ralph Guldahl-Sam Snead
team on the way to the finals, the
second time they had turned that
trick in three years.
Last year Guldahl and Snead won
the tournament after Wood and
Bruke had carried them 80 holes.
Metz and Laffoon captured the four
ball in 1888, after whipping Burke
and Wood, up, in the second
round.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. March Q.
--Diminutive Elizabeth Hicks, with
only 2la years of golf behind her, is
about ready to have a hand In the
women's national championship, say
those who have followed her sur
prising winter performances.
If the 5-foot. 110-pound girl. one
of the longest hitters In women's S
competition, isn't national titlist in
year or two, she will have a lot to
say about who is champion, the fol-
lowers agree. The pretty 19-year-
old Long Beach. Calf, lass took up
golf because she had a chance to
take free lessons.
Meets Patty in Final.
Today she plays the famous
Minneapolis redhead, Patty Berg. in
the final of the Florida East Coast
tournament. They have won two
winter tournaments each so far.
Miss Hicks entered the winter
campaign unheralded. Nothing
much was heard of her until the
Palm Beach tournament, in which
she upset National Champion Betty
Jameson of San Antonio, Tex. in
the semifinals and defeated Grace
Amory in the final
In the South Atlantic at Ormond
Beach she turned in an even bigger
upset by defeating Miss Berg, who
didn't compete at Palm Beach, in
the semifinals.
Twice Defeats Miss Jameson.
Then she demonstrated that 1t
wasn't fiuke by defeating Miss
Jameson convincingly for the second
time in the final.
Yesterday she reached the final
here by defeating Mrs. Freda Nolan
Of New Castle, Pa, and 2. Miss
Berg, whose two winter titles we're
won in the Miami Biltmore and
Orlando tournaments, ousted Clara
Callendar, 2 up.
Golf came natural to Miss Hicks.
