There was some kin among the
leading women golfers of the Caro-
lina's Tuesday, neither Mrs. Estelle
Page or Kathryn Hemphill los
ing a hole as they advanced in the
21st annual Carolinas Women's golf
championships at Sedgefield.
1t was expected that they would
move into Wednesdays quarter
finals, but the ease with which they
stepped toward what might be an
other Page : Hemphill meeting in
the Friday finals, was somewhat
surprising.
The Chael Hill Golfer played
along with par through 10 holes,
when she closed out her match with
Mrs. Nathan Ayers, of Sedgefield, 9
and 8. There she had a par four
as Mrs. Ayers was short on her
second shot and Clipped passed
the pin for a DOGGY.
The only hole halved was num-
Der 6 when each had bogeys, Mrs.
Page being short on her approach.
Miss Hemphill. well on her game
except for putting. where she moan
ed about things coming in threes,
did not lose a hole either as she
defeated Mrs. Lester Brooks, of
Charlotte 8 and 7. The Columbia,
S. c., star was halved on the first
hole, but she dropped a birdie putt
on the second to begin her cam
paign toward victory.
They also halved number 8 and
a stymie prevented Miss Hemphill
from winning number 8. But she
dropped a par on No. II to close
the match, keeping close touch with
par throughout the necessary holes.
Neither of the favorites complet-
ed their rounds.
The third one-sided match Of
the championship flight found
Agnes Morton, the former Won-
ans College physical education
major from Wilmington, making
the turn in 40 and then winning the
next three holes from Greensboro's
Mrs. Floyd Hendley. The latter
halved number 10 and IA, but it
was in vain in trying to make up
for Miss Morton's brilliant first
nine.
The third place qualifier, Majorie
Burns, of Greensboro, obtained a
S and 4 victory over Mrs. Erwin
Frye, of Asheboro, while the num-
Der 4 finisher in the first days med
al play, Mrs. George Corcoran, of
Greensboro, had an almost identi-
cal triumph, this 5 and 3, over Mrs.
S. S. Saunders, Of High Point.
Today the women swing into the
quarter final Examinations for
three consolation flights to give all
entrants some participation, and in
the afternoon there is the usual
mixed Scotch foursome when the
men join the women at S~edgefield.
Miss Morton won honors in a
putting and chipping contest with
Mrs. W. W. Handy, of Asheville,
runner up:
