Winner of the 1938 Women's Crown, Patty is again playing the great brand of golf that has fea- tured her game for the past two years.

Margaret Oliyèira was not her usuạt self at the windy alley. She booted five and her partner Ding-Dòng Lopes at the keystone was just as off colour with the thréé bobbles against her.

Mary Lachlan started on the rubber for Recreio, but was yanked in the initial frame after she allowed two Piratés tó éŕöks the plate on two hits. Anna Noronha took over the assignment and held the Buca to five runs and four hits in the remaining stanzas. She fanned two and walked пове. Read whiffed three and walked three.
