woMEN's GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Three Tie for First Honors in Qualify
ing Round.

Thara was tie between Miss Lottie Dod
the champion of the Ladys Golf Union of
Great Britain, Miss Harriet Curtis of Bos-
ton and Miss Fanny Louise Vanderhon OF
New York for low score at 80 in the eigh-
teen-hole qualifying round Of the womens
national golf championship on the links OF
the Merton Cricket Club near Philadelphia,
yesterday. 1t was the elimination of the
most spirited and picturesque battle royal
of the links. in which seventy-five fair
wielders of driver, cleek and putter re-
turned complete cards.
The top score to qualify was 1O7. four
tieing at that score for three places in the
thirty-two to keep on today at match play.
In Mrs. Griscoms invitation tournament
at Merton last fall the leaders In the quail
flying round were Miss Rhona Adair. 80;
Mrs. Charles T. Stout, 81, and Miss Lock-
wood and Miss M. Curtis, SO. But although
only 90 was the low score yesterday, the
cards of the set to qualify were the lowest
as a whole ever made in the nine years of
the fixture. There were fourteen strokes
between the first and the thirty-second
score, as against precisely the same margin
between the first sixteen at Brookline in
1902 The relative Improvement was shown,
too. by thirteen finishing under 100, as we'll
as by two young home-trained girls break
ing even with the famous golfer from Great
Britain.
