HOW PAM BARTON WON U.S. GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

London, Oct. 4.

Miss Pamela Barton (Royal Mid-Surrey), the 19-years-old British women's golf champion, yesterday added the U.S. women's championship to her laurels when she defeated Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews 4 and 3 in the final at the Canoe Brook Country Club, Nevr Jersey, U.S.A.

Mrs. Crews made a great recovery after being in the rough at the next hole to halve it in three.

Three fine wooden shots put Miss Barton on the green at the 20th, and she holed a ten fout putt to win the hole in four to six.
