High Wind a Handicap.

A southerly breeze, which swept over the
course at the start of play. attained nearly
hurricane proportions before the day was
over. With the wind almost dead ahead
it was difficult matter to negotiate the
first nine holes. The gale pinned the skirts
of the players close around them and proved
troublesome at nearly all stages. In spite
of this Miss Bishop played the outward
journey in AZ strokes-remarkable golf;
Miss Adams in 43 and Miss Grscom in At.
number of others went out under 50.
While a majority of the matches were de-
cided on the fourteenth. fifteenth or six
teenth green, two of them went over the
eighteenth and one reached the twentieth
for a decision. The last-named contest.
which was between Miss Anita Phipps of
Springfield and Miss Louisa A. Wells OF
Boston, was one of the features of the day.
Miss Phipps led at the turn by two up. but
Miss Wells caught her on the thirteenth
green and won the fourteenth and fifteenth
holes. The Springfield player won the
seventeenth hole however. and squared the
match at the eighteenth by a magnificent
second shot of $50 yards to the green. In
going to the extra hole Miss Phipps drove
100 yards straight into the wind, but could
get nothing better than half. Miss Wells
lost the twentieth hole and the match by
pulling her drive into the woods and follow
ing it by poor second.
The other extra-hoIe contest was between
Miss Elizabeth S. Porter of the Country
Club. Boston. and Miss Elizabeth Hurry of
Englewood. N. J. The players were all
square at the turn, and the contest was
four-foot putt on the home green which
would have given her the match, and then
pulled her drive in going to the extra hole,
so that Miss Porter won without difficulty.
