STRIVE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Seek to Have and to Hold the Beau.
tiful Trophy Cup.
SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS
By n. L. Pitzpatrick.

To have and to hold was the coyetous
thought of every woman who saw the
handsome championship trophy this morn
ing at the Chevy Chase Club. But there
were only eight who had chance as the
survivors for the third round of the four
teenth annual women's championship of
the United States Golf Association
There was a contest at long driving in
the afternoon and also at approaching
and putting. This was decided on the
home green. which was banked by rows
and rows of chairs, the golfing women
and girls playing out in pairs before the
deeply interested spectators, who hung on
every stroke and applauded the long
puts. To enhance the beauty of this
sylvan and sporting scene was the charm
of music by the Marine Band. People
walk faster when quickstep is played
on the street, and the music, whether gay
| or sad seemed to stimulate the feminine
| putters.
There was regret that the two Washing
| ton contestants who have played so qluck-
| lily. Mrs. Ormsby McCammon and Miss Ma
| riOn Oliver. had to meet as opponents for
| one as a result must be eliminated from
1.-The game. Two of the others in the morn
| ing round were married women, Mrs. 7.
| II. Polhemus of Brooklyn, who COLTS at
the Richmond County Country Club on
Staten Island since the fall of her first
! club. the Eastern Parkway. before the
builders and real estate specula tors, and

been scoring so well.

ner-up Miss Kate Harley is the best
golfer and lawn tennis player in Fail
River. and has been a bronze medalist at
previous national championships. The
Brooklawn Country of Bridgeport is the
| home club of Miss Georgianna Bishop. 1t
| is the most easterly member of the Wom-
ems Metropolitan Golf Association, and,
as Miss Georgianna Bishop holds the
championship. she is regarded as repre-
senting New York. She has Travelled a
good deal in Europe and the west and
puts up a reliable. accurate game of
golf Miss Bishop is strongest where
Miss Margaret Curtis is usually the weak
est; that is in approaching and putting.
Her long game IS equal to every demand
made on it by the Chevy Chase course,
| but Miss Bishop makes no claim to drive
| or play her second shots as far as Miss
| Margaret Curtis does. Miss Bishop was
national champion in 1904.
