MISS BEATRIX HOYT BEATEN BY MISS
GRISCOM AT BALTUsROI.

Yesterday was the decisive day In the women's
tournament at BaltusroL Ever since the contest
opened 1t has been evident that the crucial match
would be between Miss Beatrix Hoyt the former
three-year champion, and Miss GrIscom the new
holder Of the title Yesterday these two met in the
second round and Miss Griscom won by up and
to play.
1t was grand match. The crowds came early
and prepared to follow it throughout. Miss Girls
com was slight favorte, owing TO her victory at
Shinnecock but Miss Hoyt had many friends and
the applause liberal whenever she made
telling stroke. Starting out the first hole
halved in mediocre Z. On the second Miss Girls
com drove into the bunker, but recovered nicely on
her second. and within pitching distance of the
hole IN 4 Miss Hoyt likewise took to the green,
and as Miss Griscom down her twenty-ive-foot
put the score stood / up for the Philadelphia.
This was quickly increased to up on the third
Tor Miss Hoyt topped her drive and took to her
opponents ). The next two holes halved in 6
each Up to this time Miss Grscom had shown
the better game in approaching and putting, and
1or this, it is said. old Tom" Morris. of St. An
ureWS' should receive credit During her trip
abroad last summer Miss Grscom spent many
hours under "Old Toms tutelage. and the result
mas been apparent in than tournament
since her return. Miss Hoyts work in this respect
was indifferent In fact. the eX-champion has
never relied as much on her putting on her long
game TO bring her out ahead. Against Miss Girls
CON- whose long game is equally strong as her
own. the resulting defeat was inevitable.
MISS Hoyt made stand on the sixth hole, which
she won In a good ), but the seventh she again
made mess of her putting. and Miss Griscom won
In TO b. The eighth, which is considered splendid
test or accuracy, was by the champion in
fauItless style. her third making the edge of the
terraced green in perfect form. Miss Hoyt overran
'he cup many yards and forced to play back,
and when her opponent stole twenty-foot put she
abandoned the hole. Then came the nnth-a short
one OF 1S7 yards. Here again Miss Hoyt's wretched
approaching responsible for her defeat. Her
second landed beyond the green the edge of a
pond. and in attempting to plough it out, she got
even lie than before and abandoned the
hole. Miss Griscom had meanwhile driven out of
bounds from the and played two. landing within
ten feet OF the hole her third The hole
therefore approximated in Miss Griscoms s
favor, which gave the latter lead of up at the
turn for home.
1t advantage which virtually settled the
issue. but there = lots Of fight in Beatrix Hoyts
makeup, and the inward journey she made a
splendid attempt recover the lost ground 1t
her putting and approaching that had been at
fault. and she seemed to realize it, for on the next
three holes she played with greater and conse
quently greater She got all three IN sue
cessiOn, which brought her opponents lead down
to l up. But Miss Griscom got the fourteenth in
