NEW YORK, Oct. Slime weather
$50 INKS and surprising reversal of
FORM We're the features in the opening
Gay play of the woman's golf Champion
snip tournament of America which he
san on the links of the Balusrol Golf
cup, near Short Hills, n. J. Miss Bea-
erN Hoyt, who had the championship
aroin 1890 TO 1888, inclusive, was not a
contender this year, and the present
champion, Miss Frances E. Griscom.
1alIed to live up to her reputation as
golfer as she was unable to QUALIFY
Tor the match play rounds which begins
tomorrow ana will occupy the remainder
Oh the week. Miss Griscom, while play
ing uashlng game, did not acquit her
self as well as was expected in the quail
Trying round of medal play today. Some
tunes she was short on her drives and
uer putting at times was rather faulty.
AItogether her play was not up to cham
pionship form.
AT no previous tournament for women's
championship honors was there such a
large held of contestants, and never be-
lore were the weather conditions so alb
solutely perfect. The fair green and put
ing greens were in excellent condition,
and in fact the Baltusrol links were in
superb shape for record-breaking pur-
poses. Before the game began there
were eighty-five entries and only four
of these failed TO take part in the con-
test
Mr.. H. Paget, secretary of the Nation
al Golf association, who was on hand
early this morning, was appealed to by
many of the players that he might sane
ton the qualification of 80 instead of 16
for high scores. But instead of allowing
30 to qualify, he arranged it so that the
first sixteen highest scorers should con-
tinue playing for the Cox trophy, the
principal prize, and the second sixteen
should match a n
ISOLATION cup.
The leaders at the end of the days
play were Miss Ellen Mace, of Lennox;
Miss Margaret Curtis, Essex county
club, Mass; Miss Lucy Heron, Cincin-
natl Golf club, and Miss Mollie Adams,
Wollaston, Mass. who were tied with 81
strokes each. The playing to suit the
women players is 5S5 yards, just $50
yards less than the regular course, and
the fact that the four fair contestants
negotiated this distance in 81 strokes
speaks highly of the quality of golf
which the leaders played. Beginning to-
aorrow the sixteen who qualified for
the Cox trophy will meet each other in
1S-hole match play. The semi-fnals will
be played on Friday, and the final con-
tests will take place on Saturday.
Miss Bessie Anthony, of the Chenille.
Chicago, who finished in the first sixteen,
played splendidly today, and while her
score was 103 for the round, her graceful
style of playing attracted a good deal
of attention and comment, and many of
the experts who watched her were so
impressed with her capabilities that they
made her prime favorite for first hon
OrS.
In a competition for long driving Miss
Margaret Curtis, of Boston, won out with
a drive of 192 yards feet and inches.
Miss Fanny McLain, of Baltimore, was
second, with a. drive of 1888 yards 2 feet
