ROSE ITH the cream of Seattle's fair sex golfers teeing off at the Spokane Country club, next Tuesday, in the opening play of a five-day meet for the second annual state women's golf championship, the chances look very rosy for Seattle making « clean-up in this season's state honors; Al Espinosa and Bon Stein starting the fireworks at Aber- deen, a couple of weeks ago, with re- spective victories’ in the open and amateur state fields. Mrs, S. C. Sweeny, the Vancouver star, who won the Pacific Northwest title this year, is reported as a cer- starter at Spokane, and Mrs. W. J. Patterson, the association's presi- dent and winner of the champion- ship, played last year on her home course in Aberdeen, ‘ill be present to defend her title. Aside from this pair of high-class players, it looks like an odds-on chance for one of the smal! number of players from the lo- cal clubs to cop the honors when the curtain drops next Saturday evening. Just who will go the farthest is the question and far be it from the writer to try and make a guess at the prob- able survivor. No, siree, not with such players as Mrs. F. F. Jackson, Mrs. J. C.

Harris forming the squad that will carry the Seattle col- ors. Every one of this ninesome is right at the top of her game and if anyone else but Mrs. Sweeny or Mrs. Patter- son gets thru that Seattle bunch of artists for a win at Spokane next week it will be a surprise to many close followers of the game, both here and elsewhere. A qualifying round of 18 holes will be played on Tuesday, and the 16 low Scorers will continue in itch elim: ination play at one round each day, with the final match being played on Saturday.
