PROUD AMERICAN. Th® proudest American woman of ah left England recently for her Now York home. Her pride came from tho fact that she had the distinction of ■having been, the Prince of Wales’ first woman golfing opponent from the United States, and the first woman of any nationality to have beaten him. She was Miss Beatrice (“Boa”) Hott liob, aged 28, a handicap one golfer, and a member of the Mount Vernon Country Club, New York. "The Prince and T had a round at Sunningdnle, ' sh: said to The Daily Mail. “Wo finished all square after a little bit of indifferent golf here and there. Afterwards we went to Coombo Hill. The Prince took S 3 for the round, and I was a lucky golfer to take 80. I won the match bv 5 and 4 on level terms. Dur[ing the round the Prince saw an iron club with which I imagine I was playing rather well. I asked him if he would like to have it, and I felt very happy when he said ho would take it. Ho gave me a box of golf balls, which I am. very proud of. He also signed my scoring cord, which I will treasure always.”
