London newspapers have been featuring the wonderful golf of Miss Molly Griffiths, who is described as an Australian, the daughter of the Rev. J. W. Griffiths. She represented Sunningdale Club in the women’s championship, and played with extraordinary precision, amid high winds and dust in the preliminary rounds. All the Americans and Canadians were eliminated, and Miss Griffiths met Miss Leitch, the holder of the championship, in the final. In the play-off, however, Miss Leitch won by 7 up and 6 to play. Miss Griffiths started well, but was markedly nervous, and later missed badly. The critics concur that the better player won, although they pay a tribute to Miss Griffith’s plucky showing against such a formidable opponent.' In the closing stages of the game Miss Leitch played superbly. She played her long shots boldly and accurately, and on several greens holed in one putt.
