Women

The Wanamaker International Trophy, engraved with the names of Paavo Nurmi, Charles Hoff, Dr. Otto Peltzer, and Ray Conger was sent last week to be engraved with the American name (Stella Walsh) of Stella Walaciewicz, Polish girl sprinter, because she had set a new world record for women, 6 seconds, in the 50-yard dash at the Millrose Games in Manhattan.

Fencer. Joy Magnus, a stocky 15-year-old with brown hair tucked under her mask, lunged and parried at the Manhattan Fencers' Club last week, won the National Women's Junior Foils Fencing Championship by defeating Julia Jones 5 to 0, Dorothy Loike 5 to 4.

Golf. Like men professionals, most good women golfers go to Florida every winter to play the flat, windy courses at Palm Beach, La Gorce, St. Augustine. In the State Championship at Palm Beach last week, Virginia Van Wie won the medal. Bernice Wall lost to Mrs. J. F. Trounstine after an argument because Mrs. Trounstine had lifted Bernice Wall's ball by mistake on the 16th green. Maureen Orcutt equaled the women's course record, 77, to beat Virginia Van Wie in the finals two days later.

Maureen Orcutt, Helen Hicks, Bernice Wall and Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Kurd have tentatively accepted Glenna Collett's invitation to accompany her, as captain, to England next summer to play in the first women's international golf matches.
