Mrs. Stokes Attempts
To Add Third Major
Golf Title This Week
By MerreII WhittIesey

Mrs. Walter r. Stokes this week
will attempt to add the Maryland
State women's golf championship to
her District and Middle Atlantic
titles, feat that has eVaded all but
one of Washington's many fine
woman golfers over the last quarter
century.
A field of 46 will compete in the
26th annual State title play at Ken
wood. which starts tomorrow with
an 18-hole qualifying round. Three
former titlists. Mrs. Stokes, Mrs.
Betty Meckley and the defending
champion, Baltimore's highly re-
garded Mrs. Maurice Click, are
among the entrants.
Can Match Mrs. Meckley.
Mrs. Meckley is the only player
to hold the three titles at the same
time, but no player ever has won
them the same year. Mrs. Meckley
won the Middle Atlantic women's in
the fall of 1885 and the State and
District in SO, feat Mrs. Stokes
can match this week. OF course, If
Mrs. Stokes wins the State crown
she can go for the grand slam in
defending her Middle Atlantic title
in September.
The field for the Old Line women's
crown is not too strong, but the
field, in addition to the above named
ex-titlists, includes Mrs. T. E. Schlu-
derberg of Baltimore C. c., who took
Mrs. Click to the 20th hole in last
years final; Mrs. M. Louise Bell, a
former Mid-Atlantic champ; Mrs.
Marie Walper, flnalist in the recent
District women's; Mrs. Richard
Kreuzburg, host club champion and
District semifinalist, and June
Vogel, q promising young player
from Baltimore.
