H1eH-cLAss WOMEN GOLFERS.
Miss Oliver Of Chevy Chase Won Fine
Game From Miss Adams.

Wet weather. close competition and the
usual number of surprises that every big
golf tournament brings characterized the
play yesterday on the Morris County
Golf Clubs links near Morristown, N. j.,
in the second round of the women's ma
tional championship. Only eight survivors
are now left for the championship title, and
of these Boston claims one-half. New York
has two, Miss Georgianna Bishop, the
present champion, and Mrs Charles s.
Stout. who held the national title in 1901
and 1902. All of the PhiladeIphians were
retired with the exception of the veteran
Mrs Caleb +. Fox, who was runner-up in
1899 and has been prominent competitor
in nearly all subsequent tournaments. I'm
fortunately size was drawn against one of
her clubmates, Mrs. s. C. Price of the
Huntington Valley Club, and after hard
match the latter was beaten by one hole.
Miss Marion Oliver still remains in the
ranks representing the Chevy Chase Club
of the District of Columbia. The goling
daughter of the assistant secretary of war
furnished one of the big surprises of the
day. She beat Miss Mollie B. A6ams, who
made the best showing of the American
team in the British women's championship
last spring. 1t required twenty holes to
determine the winner. The remarkable fact
about the match was the fact that. Miss
Oliver was two up on the turn. and then
increased her lead until She was dormie
she lost hole after hole, and when Miss
Adams by taking five in succession tied
the match in the home green the Bos ton
delegates We're wild with joy. The nine
teenth was halved, but on the twentieth
Miss Adams made poor drive and then
missed her second shot, so she lost the
hole and the match by 4 strokes to T. The
