ON THE GOLF LINKS.
WOMEN PLAY FOB TITLE.
Mss Bishop Leads Field for Metro
politan Cham pionship.

Miss Georgianna Bishop, OF the Brookawn Coun-
try Club. a former national woman champion. led
the field in the qualifying round Of the seventh
annual championship Of the Wcmen's Metropolitan
Golf Association over the links Of the EnglewOod
Coli Club Yesterday. She returned score of SO
for the eighteen holes.
OF the thirty-fve entries all three started,
The absentees were Mrs. NJ D. Paterson, Mrs Y.
G. Burgess. jr.. and Mrs. s. Prosser Contestants
qualified in four Fights the first for the champion
ship cup Besides Miss Bishop, there only
two others to finish under 100 Mrs. Charles T.
Stout, Of the Richmond County Country Club, the
present NJ G. A. champion, got IS. while Miss
Elizabeth R. Hurry. OF the home club. made 80.
This scoring would not look well in comparison
with results achieved in qualifying rounds of for
mef Metropolitan championships il the playing had
been done on what might be termed ''women's'
course AS a matter Of fact the EngIewood cir
cult covers playing distance OF $500 yards, and
that is what the women attempted to negotiate
yesterday Driving from the mems tees at Engle-
wood IS almost too much for most Of the women,
and against the wind some OF the carries they at
tempted were practically impossible.
In addition TO this the condition Of the course
itself not conducive to low scoring. Every
effort is being made by the Englewood Golf Club
officials to get the links in shape for the amateur
championship in July, and. as result OF this prep
araton, the course was far from its best yester
day The grass in the vicinity OF bunkers was
longs and hard to get out Of while the putting
greens unusually slow
Under the circumstances. Miss Bishops 50 was
ereditable and compares favorably with any score
returned in past metropolitan championships. Aside
from the at the second hole, where she got into
trouble In the brook. she played consistent golf.
She went out in 49, getting IS at the sixth and
ninth holes. On the hOmeward journey the Brook
lawn woman had nothing worse than Is. She con-
tnues to a short swing, but no longer plays
with her thumbs down the shaft. Her tee shots
longer than ever, and little fault can be found
with her iron shots.
To see Mrs Stout drive would give one the i'm
preston that the Metropolitan Golf Association
champion is in a class by herself. Her out play
was the same as Miss Bishops but coming home
she made two costly mistakes With her irons be-
