York.
As in fridays match with Mrs. Ashmore. there
was a complete contrast OF styles. Miss Hecker
continuing the same dashing long game that had
proved so wonderfully effective cn the big holes,
and apparently giving little thought the shorter
appoaches il an in1petuous, brilliant. danger
Gus game but for that reason all the more at
tractye 10 the onlookers.
Miss Underhil on the other hand. the sedate.
cautious player OF the day before. taking few
chances but creeping up when her opponent over
ran an approach or overpitched a hole. and cling
ing the others heels with grim tenacity. IL was
& peculiar feature that Miss Underhin made her
most determined stand on the last few holes. Most
women are utterly unable TO close up gap at the
finish but Miss Underhill. by a supreme effort,
forced herself forward and Il IS not unfair TO
that there was as much credit in her defeat
there was in Miss Hecker's victory.
starting out, Miss Hecker had the honor and sent
away q sizzling drive. Miss Underhill pulled into
the rough, and after taking two 10 get out finally
abandoned the hole. Another screaming drive from

derhin tried the moderate plan Of driving
short OF the bunker. and was over on her second
shot Miss Hecker reached the green in 4. and
as she was dead on her next shot Miss Underhill
again lifted abandoning the hole
Then came Miss Hecker's first At the third

Miss Hecker opened up her shoulders and sent off
drive that called forth generous applause. On
her third however. she was in the bunker. while
Miss Cnderhiu got over nicely in the like. Miss
Hecker recovered with a pretty approach. but
The green she trimmed the cup short put. and
Miss UnderhiI won. getting her first hole Of the
match.

old story Of overapproaching however, for Instead
Of following up her advantage and clinching the
hole she ran past and merely made a half
