Manhattan's last hope for the title this
year vanished with the success OF Miss Curtis
over Mrs. W. Fellowes Morgan. who gained
such a brilliant victory over Miss Pauline
Mackay yesterday. Miss Curtis played
several OF the long holes in the mems par
figures and was brilliant IN putting. which Is
sometimes a fault with her. Her slsshlng
long game kept Mrs Morgan always striving
for distance. She made Miss Curtis play
the odd after some Of the drives. but Mrs.
Morgan could not hold her own on the second
shots and often used the brassy for the
third. where Miss, Curtis only needed an iron.
Instances of Miss Curtis's long gains we're
on the third. of 335 yards, where she made
the green with a drive and a cleek shot. the
ninth. OF 400 yards. where a drive. brassy
and iron got her home. and the thirteenth. OF
922 yards, where a drive and mashie reached
the green. On each of these holes Miss Curtis
holed In two puts and eQualled the par.
Mrs, Morgan would have halved the eighth
but for stimyinR herself. and as this made
her 2 down, she regarded this hole as the
crucial one OF the match. Il needed that
hole, remarked Mrs. Morgan afterward. to

getting to the green with r drive and two

had annexed the other two. The long sixth
hole, 303 yards, Miss Curtis won IN 5. and.
halving the l65 yard hole in 3. she became 3

ing herself. Three M by her par , on the
