Exciting Finish in Final Match
for Championship Golf
Cup.
VICTOR ALSO MAKES COURSE RECORD

J.F. Lardner Awarded the Consolation
Prize.
A large numbe of spectators gath
cred at the Arsenal golf grounds yes
terday afternoon to watch the finals
for the woman's championship cup
PLAYED by Mrs G. P. Skinner and Miss
Frances Blunt.
An exciting contest had been anti
cipated, but no one was prepared for
the exhibition of really frst-class golf
put up by the two contestants. The
match was an IS hole one.
At the start Mrs. Skinner, playing
carefully, won the second and fourth
holes and took the lead by two up.
Miss Blunt then, by playing the next
four holes in the remarkable score of
- strokes, won three OF them and
gained lead of one hole. Mrs. Skin
ner won the ninth hole by a score of
to z, so that the first half of the
match ended with the players even
up.
On the second round Mrs. Skinner
continued playing a perfect game,
while Miss Blunt had bad luck in get
ting caught in the bunkers. The
match ended at the 10Th hole with a
score of five up, three to play, in favor
of Mrs. Skinner. The latter COM
pleted the round for a medal play
score and finished in 55 strokes, es-
tablishing a new record for the course
and gaining the lead in the contest for
the best score prize offered by the
club.
Sensational Playing.
The play of both contestants in the
match was of the sensational order,
and it was the opinion of experienced
golfers who saw the game that moth
ing equal to it has been shown in this
country west of Chicago. Friends of
the loser as well as the winner have
Just reason to be proud of the show
ing made by their favorite. The COM

The Semi-FInaIs.
In the semi-iinals for the champion
ship cup Wednesday,, Miss Francis
Blunt, playing excellent golf, defeated
her sister, Miss Katherine Blunt, by
/ up, 5 to play. Mrs. C. P. Skinner,
matched against Miss Abbott, was eX-
pected to win rather easily, but Miss
Abbott pleased her friends and sur
prised the knowing ones by forcing
Mrs. Skinner to play her best game in
order to win. In the consolation cup
series Mrs. j. F. Lardner and Mrs. j.
Il. Kimball had an exciting round,
which was won by the former by a
score of one up at the 18th hole. To
Mrs. d. L. Robinson and Miss Van
Patten, however, belonged the honors
of the day. After IS holes of eXcit-
ing golf, with the advantage first on
one side and then on the other, they
finished all even and had to play an
extra hole to decide the tie. On the |
play off, Miss Van Patten won by a
single stroke.
