North and South women’s
championship yesterday over the
rebuilt number one course. Miss
Kirby had a one-stroke margin
over five players who returned,
cards of 80.

to be much more difficult forr
the ladies than the number:
three, over which this cham

number of years. It was on
number three that Mrs. Estelle
Lawson Page scored a 69 to es
tablish the record qualifying to

women who finished in 80 yes- •
terday. The others -were* Miss

REPORT HEAVIEST f
BOOKINGS 111 YEARS
Sam, Carolina doorman, re
ported an interesting item yes
terday. It Was the first mom-'
ing in the history of his 30-odd
years of service at The Caro
lina that there wasn’t a single v*
guest checking out, of the hotel, ,
in spite of evidence here and - >
there of “that odd white sub
stance” on the ground. ,
All the hotels report the
! heaviest March guest bookings
in many years. A member of ...
the Carolina Hotel staff told of
one, person who insisted on
checking in, even though he
couldn’t get a room in the hotel. N
He was forced to fake a room
at one of the cottages in the
neighborhood, with meal accom
modations at The Carolina. All
the hotel managers are looking
forward to a busy April, too.
Mrs. William H. Parkinson, ;
proprietor of The Manor, said
“It certainly is,” when the Out
look reporter suggested that this
was a capacity business month..
Jim MacNab, of The Pine Crest.
said, “There’s just a little room
in tBeattic. The telegraph
messenger has muscle-bound legs
delivering reservation wires.”
Edwin S. Blodgett, of The
Berkshire, said, “It’s certainly a
banner.’11 ‘ K
Ed Horne didn’t have time to
give a quotable answer. He ..
merely gasped >4Whew!” “
