The Tin Whistles have played some close matches during the past month. On Monday a field of 48 teed up in a best and worst ball of ^airs at match play, in which G. W. Statzell of Philadelphia, and J. P. WiH^mson of Wilkes-Barre, Penna., came through to victory. Continuing the steady golf that carried her through to the final match in theHiampionship division wTith victories over the medalist and .the runner-u]xmedalist, Mrs. John D. Chapman of Greenwich, Conn., accomplished ^he easy defeat of Mrs. Emmet French of Youngstown, Ohio,-yesterday to take the title vacated by Mrs. Harry V. Maxwell of Spring Lake, N. J., in the Pinehurst Country Club’s ninth annual Carolina tournament |or women. Mrs. Chapman, winning by the big margin of eight and six, achieved her success chiefly by brilliant work aroundxand on the greens, her driving being not so long as it was accurate. Mrs. French played better than the score indicates. Her failures were almost all due to anxiety, and many times she stubbed with her mashie shots through looking up. She rimmed a cup once to lose a hole, and on the ninth, after getting the better drive, she finished with a nine when she sent her second into the rough and found a peck of trouble getting out. Mrs. Chapman started off with I a lead on No. 1 when Mrs. French I was trapped on her drive. Mrs. I Chapman tallied a fine par four on I the second to win, sinking a nine 1 foot putt. The next two holes were I halved bogey 5; Mrs. French rim- I ming the cup for a four on the fifth. I Then Mrs. Chapman notched an- I other par to win, her three on the 1 sixth being earned by a fine pitch | dead to the pin- The seventh was halved in four. On the eighth Mrs. Chapman again kept to the par count of five to win, when Mrs. French was short on her third and 1 took a six. Needing a four for 40 out, Mrs. Chapman on the ninth Willis Klein won the Mid-South Open this ' Fall over five ex-Open champions of the 77. S.: Johnny Farrell, Jim Barnes, Cyril Walker, Freddie McLeod and Willie McFarlane. He shot a record 66 on the No. 2 Course. Mrs. Barry V. Maxwell, medalist in the Car olina Season Members’ Tournament for Women which closed yesterday. James T. Hunter, winner of the Carolina Tournament was short with her third, after a brilliant recovery from a drive into the woods, and counted a six while Mrs. French, after a very good drive, hooked into the rough and finished with a nine to stand five down, with medal count of 49. Coming back, Mrs. Chapman suffered her first real lapse by tak . ing a six on the par four ninth when she was off the line with her third, and then took three putts. Nevertheless her six won, when Mrs. French needed four strokes from a short distance off the green. Mrs. French tried valiantly to check her foe on the tenth, but a good drive found a trap, while Mrs. Chapman’s topped tee shot went I rolling toward the green, giving her a victory with a par three Mrs. Chapman played the twelfth strategically to win in five, Mrs.French failing again to avail herself of the benefits from a longer drive. That 0 - ended the struggle, with Mrs. Chapman eight holes in the lead, with | six to play.1 The cards: 545 555 456—42 635 655 554 469—49 746 N. B.
