turned the winner, and last year Miss
Frances E. Griscom of Marion, Pa,
took the honor out of the Metropolitan
district to her home.
Miss Hecker, by her victory today
has recaptured the honor for the Me
, tropolitan Association, although at
critical periods in the tournament just
ended it looked as if the prize would
either go out West or up to New Eng
land.
Miss Hecker's victory caused no sur
prise, for it was generally believed that
she would acquit herself creditably.
Several times during the tournament
she played rather weakly, but she
atoned for these lapses by driving and
playing through the fair green with the
accuracy of a professional.
Miss Heron, always a favorite
among Eastern golfers surprised many
by brilliant spurts of play, particularly
in her short game.
Miss Hecker was far from being at
her best today, and Miss Heron prob
ably through over-anxiouSness, pressed
on her long game and was nervous on
her short game, at times so that she
also may be said to have been not quite
at her best.
Miss Hecker absolutely threw away
the first two holes, for they were
halved in seven and six, respectively
These figures show that the play was
mediocre and not up to the golfng
standard expected from championship
aspirants. Miss Heron won the third
hole in rather good four, although
she had chance for a three Miss
Heeker, who had the longer drive
missed her approach shots about so
that she practically gave the hole to
Miss Heron, which made the Cfncin-
natl young woman one up.
