l can't believe it"
She couldn't believe that she had
won one of the first major Journeys
in which she had entered. For Mrs.
Hartman, victor over field OF Is
starters on a day when showers
played hide and seek with low
hanging clouds and nearly half the
field gave up in encouragement at
the conditions, hasn't become blase
about winning golf tournaments. To
her the sensation Is new. And she
likes it.
Three Tie At Finish.
But she won only after three
way tie. Deadlocked with her for
the big Star trophy and the war
bond which goes to the winner OF
the net award were Mrs. Henry G.
Pratt. jr., of the Washington Golf
and Country Club, and Mrs Fritz
L. Williams of Argyle, all with net
scores of 81. very good going under
the abonlinable conditions. The
Kenwood putting green's. for exam
pie, ofttimes we're running streams
of water when the clouds opened up
and dropped their burden. And
most of the Glass B women had lit
tie experience under those condi-
tions.
After all, most women with handi-
caps over ls have not had wide
tournament training. and didn't
know, for instance. that you could
lift a ball around casual water and
seek a comparatively dry path to
the cup.
The Women's District Golf Asso-
citation, which has a complete set
of rules to cover every situation,
came up with the solution to the
three way tie. In previous years
the three women would have had
to play of. But it isn't done that
way nowadays.
Scores Matched Against Par.
They took the handicap of each
PLAYER in the tie and matched her
score against women's par. Mrs.
