PLAYS IN PINEHURST TODAX
MISS HELEN DETTWE1LER
PINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Miss Helen Dettweiler, latest of the lady golf pros, motored into
Pinehurst last night and checked into The Carolina Hotel, with her
friend, Miss Elna Lombard of Augusta.
“Imagine,” said Miss Dettweiler, “how nice it is to be paid for
doing what I like to doJ’
L. B. Icely, president of the Wilson' Sporting Goods company of
Chicago, is a man of wide vision in the golfing business, who for a
number of years has employed prominent women golfers to do mis
sionary work for golf and for his company.
It was Mr. Icely who placed Mrs. Helen Hicks Harb in a golf
promotional position, and later he employed Mrs. Opal Hill for sim
ilar work. The latest to join his staff of women experts was Miss
Dettweiler, who signed up on May 10, last.
Miss Dettweiler expresses herself as being more than happy in
her new work. She has averaged three exhibitions per week, and
appeared in 11 states. During tjhe winter she will do promotional
work at tlie golf centers of the S'outh, returning to Pinehurst in the
spring.
In an interview last night at Batch’s, where Miss Dettweiler
stopped for a bite after driving from Augusta, Scoreboard and the
lady pro covered many golfing subjects.
Miss Dettweiler won her first tournament start as a professional,
the Western open at St. Louis, 'last summer. She defeated Miss B.
Barrett, defending champion, 4 and 3 in the final. Mrs. Opal Hill
and Mrs. Helen Hicks Harb were starters in this, event.
There are more than a dozen women professionals, and about
six of these are good enough players so they would show up if prize
money was set up for them to1 play for. If prize money was estab
lished for the ladies, it is likely that a number of the leading women
amateurs would join the professional l^nks. The only reason for a
woman player to turn professional now is to obtain a position with
k golf company.
The leading amateurs among the ladies would be perfectly will
:ng to compete with the professionals in open competitions.
Since turning professional Miss Dettweiler has broken eight
course records. A 74 over a municipal course in Baltimore is her
lowest score.
Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias, wife of the Colorado wrestler
known as “The Weeping Greek from Cripple Creek,” is very happy,
and has written Miss Dettweiler, advising her to get married. Mr.
and Mrs. Zaharias are lving in a ne!w home in Los Angeles, and plan
to visit the Eastern golfing resorts before very long.
Among the interesting people Miss Dettweiler has played with
recently were Dr. William Lyon Phelps, professor of literature at
JTale, and Secretary of State Hull. /

AMATEUR-PRO COLE
TOURNEY IS MOVED
BACK TO TUESDAY
The first tournament of the
Sandhills amateur - professional
golf league, scheduled to start
on Monday at the Pine Needles
Club, has been set back' until
Tuesday, to avoid conflict with
the weekly Tin Whistle Club
tournament, which was postponed
yesterday, until Monday.
When the regulations for the
league we|e drawn up it was
pointed out that in the event of
a postponement of a Tin Whistle
tournament scheduled for Satur
day, it would be played the fol
lowing Monday, which would
move it into cpnflict'with the am
ateur-pro league. It was decided
that in such a situation, the am
ateur-pro would be played on
Tuesday. *
This is a wise rule, as a num
ber of Tin Whistle members are
signed to play as amateur part
ners of professionals in the Sand
hill league.
It now seems certain that each
professional entry will have his
full quota of amateur partners.
