10 Capture Trophy
In Upper Glass
Mrs. Davies Also Shows
Promise With Victory
In 'Duffer' Division
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

GIOu. OIlc Oh tQOSe youngsters VINO
fits perfectly the title cute" the
Simons girl has had one Of the
better golf swings around town for
that time and more, and above
that burning ambition to equal at
least some Of the golf fame that
has come to Marion Brown, her
clubmate at Manor. Usually paired
IN the feminine tournaments with
equally young and equally attrac-
tive Jerry Weible, the Simons
youngster has had her good days
and bad-and always has come
through with a grin and q hope
for better luck next time.
But today the blond youngster
definitely is tabled as future
championship material. The Star
Cup tournament-now since The
Star has added another trophy to
be known henceforth as the tourney
for The Star Trophies-has a habit
OF bringing out future feminine
champions. That being true 20-year-
old Barbara, the daughter Of Mrs.
H. j. Simons, well-known Manor
golfer, definitely has her tiny feet
on the road that leads to champion
ships.
Wins Star Cup.
For young Barbara did q better
than-fair job Of winning the Glass
A tourney at Congressional yester.
day Tor the women with low handi.
caps. It was the debut of the split
filed system for woman golfers, and
1t worked out all right. Barbara led
Mrs. H. H. Moff1tt of Congressional
her nearest competitor-by three
strokes with a card of 91-16-75,
against 92-14-78 for Mrs. Mofiitt.
And out of those who today may
be IN the "duffer" class come the
champions OF tomorrow. If that is
true-and 1t is true-Mrs. H. E.
Davies Of the Capital Golf and
Country Club, may join Barbara ST.
mons on the championship trail.
Mrs. Davies won the Glass B or
higher handicap event, played at
Capital, with a card of 103-31-72,
practically in a blanket finish, for
one other trailed her by a stroke,
and still another was only two
strokes away.
Mrs. F. J. Hanrahan of Capital
had 102-29-73. while Mrs. r. S.
Butler Of Kenwood had 103-2e-
IA. The Glass B affair at Ken
wood remained In a muddle for an
hour or so, because of a net IS
turned in by Mrs. L. B. Sharpe of
Kenwood. Mrs. Sharpe, playing
with a handicap of 36, turned in
a gross score Of 101 for a net of IS.
But there was some question as to
the validity of her handicap, under
the rules of the Women's District
Golf Association, which had entire
charge of the tourney.
Mrs. Sharpe Withdraws.
Mrs. Sharpe withdrew her claim
to any prize, after the Rules Com
mittee decided to take q vote on
her case. Later Mrs. Walter Weible,
women's handicap chairman, an
nounced that she had not submitted
enough scores to have a w. D. G. A.
handicap. Rules of the association
are strict and Mrs. Robert A. Lacey,
president of the association, pointed
out that the case had no prece-
dent, that Mrs. Sharpe was not at
fault and that it would have to go
to the Rules Committee. The with
drawal of Mrs. Sharpe took care
of the matter.
Dependable Mrs. Betty P. Neck
ley. former holder of all the cham
pionships in this area, won her third
straight gross prize of the young
season with card of 81 at Con-
gressional. Next to her was Mrs.
Myron Davy, wife of the Congress
sional president, with "a. The gross
winner at Capital in Glass B was
Mrs. H. M. Shaffer of Army Navy
with 96.
Major prizes in the tourney, do
mated by The Star, were presented

Lacey, president, and Mrs. Gale E.
Pugh, vice president, of the Wom-
ems District Golf Association. Here
