...performance of the first week was turned in by Doctor Blue Willing's kennel-mate, Air Pilot Sam. This handsome pointer found five coveys and one single, but made a false point and obeyed none too well for his famed handler, Ed Farrior. The judges also liked Golfer Glenna Collett Vare's Tips's Manitoba Jake and G. M. Livingstone's Shanghai Express, called them back for a run-off when the first series was over. Shanghai started off with a false point, handled one covey with style and finish, then sinned heinously by flushing another...
...than five feet, lost her second-round match to Elsie Corlett of Lancashire. Other favorites fell even more quickly than Patty, whom British bookmakers had backed as the No. 1 U. S. entrant in the Women's British Golf Championship, never won by a U. S. player. Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, five-time contender for the title, lost her temper, then her first-round match to her close friend Charlotte Glutting. Defending Champion Wanda Morgan was also eliminated in the opening round. As it turned out, best of all the ladies was London's 19-year-old Pamela...
Star performers for the U. S. did not include Patty Berg but two old standbys, Glenna Collett Vare, six-time U. S. national champion, and Maureen Orcutt Crews, winner of practically every important U. S. tournament but the national. Playing in a Scotch foursome with Patty (i.e., hitting alternate shots with one ball), Mrs. Vare carried her almost all the way, brought the match to an all-even finish by holing two long putts on the 16th and 17th greens. In her singles match Mrs. Vare conquered British Champion Wanda Morgan 3 and 2. Mrs. Crews not only...
...sweatshirt and the assurance with which, though she weighs only 110 and is just over 5 ft., she consistently drove 200 yards. Patty Berg amazed them further by beating five opponents in a row. In the final, she played Mrs. Vare. The match appeared to be over when "Glenna" was 4 up with six holes left to play. Patty won two of the next three. Mrs. Vare won only by sinking a hard putt on the 34th green...
...orange-spotted pointer, Doctor Blue Willing. The latter stayed in hand better than on two other championship occasions and, as a local sports writer put it, "he handled his birds like a Ziegfeld beauty handles a millionaire." Tips Manitoba Jake, the big, white-&-black pointer owned by Golfer Glenna Collett Vare (see p. 27), ran the next heat worthy of notice. He, too, had the morning course where birds were more plentiful, scoring six finds to four by his brace mate, Air Circus. There was pathos in the next heat. Out came Oil Tycoon Jacob France's big pointer...
