RC ek Shoots Fourth Cincit City Cha Second Time; Archer Second Rosemary Mathews v Cha ‘ ie 90 anda tourney total of 35 _ In second place, a full Piedad Archer with generally lower than those last spring. Rosemary Math too, but her winning total was 362, eight strokes behind s Although she was the pre-tour- ney favorite, she wasn’t expected to do quite as well as what she shot this year. she had done last year. Her playing yesterday* e. was steady and unruffled. There was no pressure on her in this final round, for, her lead was so wide none of the field could possibly catch her, barring an act of God. It was her third time around in 90 strokes. Her first round of 90 gave her a lead over the fair. Playing close to men’s par over most of the course, She shot an 84. and would have broken 80 if it hadn’t been for some bad luck to- ward the end of the 18. Af- ter that, her lead was too! large and the pressure we off. Piedad Archer came through yesterday with the lowest round although her hold on second place was strong enough that she could have stroked much higher and still been sure of the runner-up spot. Her first three rounds of 99, 100, and 92 gave her a fve stroke advantage over Julia Nelson at the three-quarter mark. She widened it to 16 strokes by yes- terday’s low round. Mrs, Kay Faraldo had a three- stroke lead over Piedad Archer for second place honors at the end of three r@unds. Hér rounds of 100, 91, 97 gave her a total of 288 at the three-quarter mark while Mrs. Archer had 291. She was forced to drop out of the plz before the fourth round, however. Julia Nelson’s 100 was a little above her average for the tourn- ament. She shot 98, 95, and 103 in the first three rounds, givi her a total for the tourney of Marion Caruthers, in fourth, had 113, 97, 109 and 107 for a 426 total. Ann Witzel shot 120, 114, 115, 102 for 451. Besides Kal Faraldo, Rose Gavilan withdrew, after shooting rounds of 92, 104, and 103. Peggy Harris had 95, 102, and 103, and Wahneta Kovash had 98, 107, and 103 before they withdrew. Marion Kinsey and Lou Duke dropped out after shooting rounds of 109, 107, 120 and 124 respective- ly. Nell Lopez had a first round E 110. Rosemary Mathews won the JayShees big trophy for her sec- ond tournament victory. Both she and Piedad Archer got additional prizes of golfing merchandise. Scores were also figured on a net basis. Although Rosemary net of 290 was low, and Piedad Archer’s 296 next, these scores were not counted in figuring the winners of the handicap competi- tion. They had won prizes already and were considered ineligible. Consequently, Ann Witzel with a net of 307 and Julia Nelson with a 312 after handicap won the top honors in this division.

Lately completed was a con- crete tennis court in Bayview Park. Constructed for the use of all Conchs, it stands today to become a shrine of many a hot fought tilt. At the last city commission meeting, $1200. was appropriated for the payment of the newly constructed court, thus leaving something the city can well be proud of. This improvement and many others were sorely needed for the enjoyment and promotion of good sportsmanship among our newer generation. Tennis fans were badly crowd- ed on the two asphalt courts in Bayview Park until the new con- crete sports court was completed. im | Although the backstops and net 2 not in tact vet, they will be shortly With this additional court the locals are enabled to produce full cale championship competition. , No longer will they have to con-| tend with slow moving matches. Three other courts are also | being built at the County Beach. These, along with the three at | Bayview Park will easily boost tennis in our city. Key West, if worked right, can set an example for other cities in the state who have not already built similar courts. Of course there are only three courts at present, but this can be carried} into a larger scale project. Other cities have benefited many sports facilities. The city that has a good baseball and football stadium, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts for the winter ‘visitors, and a good golf course will double its invest- ments in short order.

As a mat- ter of fact, the progressive church has many channels through which money can flow and ought to flow. Literature must be paid for. Upkeep of church property and beautification of the sanctuary surroundings aren't kept trim and lovely. without much expense. Salaries must be met. Publicity and advertisements are not free any more. Expenses run higher than ever and in order to meet the supply and demands made up- on churches money is imperative. But this notion, somewhat preva- lent among some folks, that the churches don’t need “my money” reminds me of the two fellows at- tending a Morning Worship Serv- ice one Sunday.
