PINEHURST, N. C., March
30,-What has become an old
tale was retold with exclama
tion points today when ^ Mrs.
Estelle Lawson Page won her
fourth North and South cham
pionship since 1935.
The chubby matron of Chapel
Hill, making herself thoroughly]
at home in changed conditions,]
defeated Dorothy Kirby, the j
medalist, by the undoubted dif-1
ference of four holes, the match
ending at the fifteenth with a
gentle patter of rain washing
out the Atlanta girl’s last wan
hope.
Mrs. Page’s 4 and 3 margin
of victory was the most pro
nounced she has registered over
Miss Kirby in'their four meet
ings. When she was but seven
teen Miss Dorothy defeated Mrs.
Page in the Southern champion
ship but since then has been
compelled to bow her pretty
head on three occasions. She
lost to the Carolinian in the
semi-finals of the Southern two
years ago and was a 3 and 2
victim of Mrs. Page in the fi
nals of the North and South a

year ago.
Miss Kirby contributed large
ly to her own demise today by
her failure to gauge properly
the speed of greens which had
been considerably slowed by
overnight showers. The light
headed putting blade she em
ployed was not enough to get
the ball up to the cups with her
customary stroking and, in con
sequence, lost her touch. She
three-putted five of the car
pets, thereby losing holes she
