They have caught up to the top flighters with amazing the times, and are vying with each other for the leading role. 1 class Glen veted golfers. Collett among the She is not old in the sense of actual years, but old in | golf experience. She has reached the pational goal twice and will doubtless hold the title again be- fore she is through, but each year finds the going harder. Mrs, Miriam Burns Horn of Kansas City. the present titleholder, has only an outside chance to de- fend successfully her national title | In 1925, She won her title as the result of a brilliant short game, thought by abservers to be more of a flash than a permanent asset. She is a great fightcr but not a par- ticularly great golfer. Miss Virginia Van Wie cago, who has just defeated Glenna Collett at Pinehurst, is in my opinion America’'s most promising young golter. 1 have clung to this conviction for the past two years, during which Virginia has made splendid progress. She is a sty and will prove, T belicve, to be the “Bobby Jones” of women's golf. Her greatest handicap has been her easy going and indifferent atti- tude toward winning. She is much like Glenna; both lack that acme of concentration and will-to-win &pirit which i3 so essential in thiy age of | keen competjtion. Bobby Jones' greatest battle was with himself, 0 it is with Virginia Van Wie. They both have naturally beautiful form. 1 consider Maureen Orcutt fhe next best possibility among the vounger golfers, even though she has heen twice defeated by Helen Payson, holder of the Canadian title.
