Charlotte Glutting of West Orange, N. J., who reached the semi-finals in her first year of golfing in 1932, is the only survivor older than 21. She meets Dorothy Kirby, the Dixie beauty described as the best golfer to come. out of Atlanta since Bobby Jones. Betty Hicks of Long Beach, Cal, who at 18 is the youngest of the survivors, engages talented Betty Jameson of San Antonio, Tex. Miss Hicks, who is only five feet tall, is the sensation of the tournament.

Burgess to the national ‘championships are Bob Wiltsee, South Side Cycle Club, and Jim Tolle, Edgewood Wheelmen. The State championship was held at Arden, just north of the city, on Aug. 13 and the boys showed by their speed and form that they had learned a lot about racing in the last few years. Ragsdale, a husky lad of 14, is equally as good over the short distances as he is on long grinds. There were four State junior races, every one of which he took, at distances of one mile, two miles, five miles | and 10 miles. This 10-miler produced some theatricals of a high sort, for Bovard, who had been edged out at the shorter distances, decided he was going to jump off to a lead and keep up a rip-roaring pace as long as he could stand it.
Throws a Front Tire
That is ig what he did, and Ragsdale, in an attempt. to keep from losing ground at the Start, also gave a mighty pump that lifted the front wheel of his bicycle off the ground. The wheel landed sideways and to Ragsdale’s horror the front tire rolled off the rim. Running back the Irvington pumper borrowed another bicycle from a friend and rolled up to the starting line again, but by this time Bovard was about two blocks ahead of him. You could almost hear a pulling sound from their leg muscles as these two ‘tugged away, but before the finish Ragsdale had passed Bovard and gone on to vic-
