casions figured prominently in the
championship contests, but Mrs. San
ford occupies the HOMO" of semi.

Miss Bishop, who defeated Miss Har-
ley in the semitnal, has played a
splendid long game, while her putting
has shown considerable raggedness.
Miss Bishops experience IN champion
ship tournaments is expected to help
her considerably against Mrs. San
ford in the final for the championship.

final round by defeating Miss Pauline
Mackay Of the Oakley Country club,
who had disposed of the British cham
pion. Miss Charlotte bod, in the first
