Chinese Teams Win Easily In "B" Division

JOAN PEMBERTON, 20-year-old golfer of Wilmslow, qualified recently to meet Maurcon Ruttle in what might be called the 1940 Women's

CHINESE TEAMS, the C.R.C. and South China, registered (unofficial) Championship-actually, the “Daily easy victories over Kowloon Tong and the Army respectively in Sketch." War Fund Fournament: Miss Pemberton, with a magnificent 74 that established a course record at Birkdale, was the winner of the North-BOUT POSTPONED half set that Kowloon Tong ern Competition of the War Fund Tournament.

It will be recalled that to win her Southern Competi tion, Miss Ruttle, a 17-year-old schoolgirl, overcame a very formidable field that included ex-champions and ex- internationals such as Pam Barton, Wanda Morgan, Molly Gourlay and Mrs. A. C. Critchley (former Diana Fish. wick). That was on the Royal Mid-Surrey course, and the winning score was 75.

The two finalists, however, Į are not unknown to each other, for in 1938 Miss Pemberton de- feated, Miss Ruttle in the semi-

and this is the latter's oppor- tunity of taking revenge.

Miss Pemberton's field included only two players of note, and these were Doris Park, former Scottish champion, and Jessle Firth, many times champion of Lancashire,

But it is not the comparison of the opposition that matters, so much as the scores made. Joan Pemberton's women's record for the Birkdale course, Southport, and is 2 under the Standard Scratch Score. Moureen Ruttle's 75 only equals the SSS. of the Royal Mid-Surrey course.

But this again is an unfair com- made parison, for not only were they on different courses, but golf is n game of amazing vagaries of fortune, All that can be said is that the res sult will be as open as it will be interesting.
