PRIVILEGE OF CAD DYING FOR STARS REALIZES LARGE SUM If there is one thine sweet charity does, it is to brine out the loveliest blossom of feminine pulchritude and scatter them pro- misciouslr about, no matter whether the event is held in a ballroom or the wide open spaces of a coif course hidden away in the woods. And yesterday was no excepnon as one bevy after another of sweet young things, all done up in silks and satins, which mostly were flung to the breezes which swept the Longue Vue Country Club when Jock Hutchison and Joe Kirkwood, all dressed up for the occasion, aided Miss Glenna Cullett and Miss Edith Cummings in staging an exhibition golf match, which savored of real championship caliber. Miss Collett and Kirkwood won the match. iiH Jl Hi If Is 8wfsy- im aiiwn i i.imi 'inwiin mi 1 1 hi mm mniinwiwiniin mi mmiiiw iiHfnumrmi i a crri'T-if-n "Tf on rnrw'iiirimiinrtwmiiimiiliririBMW mill iiiiiiiiwiiiiin'" i HiTobii i i I ni'inili I ni i in is iimn liiiiiitrTWaiQi i i1 mi i iimi miAl Kirkwood. who established a course record, turning in a 71.

Who won the match mattered little to those experienced and inexperienced grolf devotees "who trudged after the nationally known quartet and emitted exclamations of wonderment and slgiis of disappointment, as tha occasion demanded. Jock played as thoug-h his golfing reputation was at stake with every stroke, while Kirkwood, somewhat of a rerfect ex-jhib'tioner.

pulled Just enough of his ttrick stuff to ease off the strain of the vent. The two little ladles. Miss Collett being a frail little thing, and Miss Cummings, although somewhat sturdier, still being far away from the form one would expect to be able to drive the little white thing sizzling through the air for almost the same distance as the men folk, were watched with enTlous eyes as they drove over grulleys and valleys and then executed perfect shots on the green. SETTING IS PERFECT. A sort of holiday air permeated the beautiful layout, sunk back in the wooded section near Verona, city policemen handling the traffic throngs being the only sign of life to make the countrified atmosphere saver of the Ftuffy downtown life.

Before the match began. Just as the quartet of celebrities stepped out onto the first tee, the great gallery got of laughs when the bidding began for the honor of accompanying the flayers as caddies. Naturally no one was overly excited about carrying the bags of the men players, but E. J. Mudge, president of the Long Vue club finally outdistanced all bidders In the chase for the prominence and glory of letting Miss Cummings berate him for an error of Judgment.

The sight of the president of the exclusive club doing caddy honor sort of made the democratic spirit run riot and by the time Miss Collett's panlst was to be chosen the bidding sounded like that of a high class art auction. The place was finally knocked down to D. M. Weir, and it must be said for both the moneyed caddies acted the part perfectly, never getting behind on their Job or becoming obnoxious to the players.

Previous to yesterday all of the reigning golf stars of this country had appeared here at various times with the exception of Miss Glenna Collet, the brilliant Providence, R. player, regarded as one ot the world's greatest women golfers, and Miss Edith Cummings of Chicago, the reigning women's champion.

They were the magnet which drew over .1,600 persons to the new Longue Vue Country Club, Pittsburgh's Jl.000.000 golf club, which Is located on the commanding heights which overlook the Allegheny river, at Sandy Creek. It was a case of the East versus the West, Miss Collett and Joe Kirkwood of New Tork being partnered together, they opposed Miss Cummings and Jock Hutchison the former lirltish open champion, who halls from Chicago. The former Btars won out due largely to the brilliant playing of Kirkwood. on the outgoing distance. lit was the brilliant playing of Joe i i Independent Scores.

Some of the players have been lax in their observance of the rules.

He had 37 for the last nine holes, one under par, de-spite the fact that the difficult elev- enth, a blind hole, cost him a 6. The par of the course is 74.

I All four players had fine drives on the first hole, with Kirkwood out front. Miss Cummings was on with i her second shot, while Miss Collett just off the edF Kirkwood and Hutchison both played their irons to the green. Miss Collett was short on her chip shot and took two putts to i hole out- Kirkwood won the hole with a birdie 3. sinking a 20-footer, Hutch- lson taking a 4, while the women both took 5's. Miss Collett and Hutchison both encountered trouble on their tee shots on the second hole and Glenna took a 7 on it, Jock a 6, while Miss Cummings had a fine par 4 and Kirk- wood the same.

Miss Cummings and Kirkwood again showed the way on the third hole when they got their 3's while Hutchison and Miss Collett took 4's. The latter drove the green beau- tifully, but took three putts. Hutch- lson was also on with his Iron, but also faltered with his putter. GET PARS ON FOURTH. The Easterners annexed a point.

Miss Collett and Kirkwood got their par 4s on the fourth hole, while Miss Cummings took a 6, Jock getting a 4. Kirkwood was the only pair of the quartet to get a par 3 on the short fifth hole, the others all taking a 4. He also won the sixth hole for his side when he got his par 4 on the sixth, one stroke better than the others. Hutch ison got a pretty birdie on the seventh hole playing his second shot close enough to the green to enable him to hole out his putt. Miss Collett and Kirkwood both got 5s while Miss Cummings took a 6.

Kirkwood was the only player to get a 4 on the eighth hole, the others being above the par figures. Hutchison took the ninth with par 4, the three others being one above with a 5. Kirkwood missed his putt trying for his par 4 by a scant margin, being on the edge of the green with his second shot, and then took three putts. Starting back home Kirkwod made1. a beautiful 3 on the tenth hole.

,,.) All i four players had fine drives, but Klrk-wood's approach was three feet from the pin and he sank It. Jock Hutchison and Miss Cummings made up some lost ground with a win on the eleventh hole. Miss Collett drove to the woods and she picked up on the hole. Kirkwood after hitting a fine shot was in trouble on his second shot going to the blind hole, and his third was in a bunker which guards the green. HutchiBon had the longest drive on the hole and then hit a whale of a second shot which landed on the green and tnen bounded over the green, rolling down over the steep embankment in deep grass.

He retrieved it with a remarkable recovery, a high lofting niblick shot, which almost went Into the cup. The women showed the way for the men' on the twelfth hole getting par 3's on it while the best Jock and Joe could get was 4's. Try as they would Miss Cummings and Hutchison could not make up any more ground on the I remainder of the journey, Kirkwood ending up his record breaking ground when he got a brilliant 3 on the green, having a fine drive, and then laid his iron shot four feet from the rin and rrnt his an 3 out of it. man in the smart Ak your dealer for Van Craft, a new negligee shirt with th Vfln Heujoi attached.

Lining eight halls up in single file and driving them in rapid succession without interfering with one another was another stunt which brought laughs and surprises, and overcoming stymies with the art of a perfect magician, the former Australian won himself to a point of favor almost even up with the Misses Collett and Cummings. Golf had Its days for the benefit of charity and even though the clouds threatened and the air seemed loaded with rain, each seemed to know that they had better hold off until the day was concluded successfully There was but one disappoint ment and that that neither Miss Collett nor Miss Cummings wore bobbed hair, although tho former kept many guessing for a time as her locks were tucKfl in careruuy uivier an ontngf la 1 i Vt, 1 t- trt become a style fiire In future local tourneys, GOLF PROS ON WAY TO PLAY IN ENGLAND Gene Sarazen and Bride in Party Sailing Yesterday.
