Miss Collett
After Miss Glenna Collett of Providence was defeated for the British Women's Open Golf Championship a month ago, she hurried to Switzerland and to Italy, rode on trains, looked at lakes, "forgot golf."
Last week, at Versailles, France, there assembled 21 British* girls, 9 French girls, 2 Americans!/---contenders for the Women's French International Golf Championship.
As a steamboat cuts through billows, Miss Collett attained the finals. Her ultimate opponent--wide-eyed, 17-year-old Mlle. Simone Thion de la Chaume--kept step with her for 18 holes, then "cracked," lost four straight holes, became dormie two, eventually lost, 3 and 1. Miss Collett's last round was played in 37 and 33.
*The best one among them--Miss Cecil Leitch--withdrew because of the hot weather.
