At Portrush

"Miss Wethered played with that calm concentration of hers which has the appearance of sheer boredom, while Miss Leitch, nervous before the start, gritted her teeth, stuck out her chin, and played with obvious fire and determination." Such was the cabled description of the fifth round of the British women's open golf championship at Portrush, Ireland. Joyce Wethered, "cool and collected," took the match from her older opponent by 6 up and 4 to play. Later she took the final round (7 & 6) from Mrs. F. Cautley "who was bothered by rain."

Miss Wethered's victory over Miss Leitch was her fifth in eight matches. Her brother, Roger, is amateur cham pion of Great Britain. Other open championship notes:

P: Dora Chambers, open champion in 1923, was put out (4 &; 3) by Miss Leitch.

P: One Mrs. Hazlet, aged 77, "gave a spirited display," was beaten by an unnamed opponent (4 & 3).

P: Audrey Faust of St. Louis, who had expected to play, was scratched.
