WIN CR|SCON CUP
Defeat Boston Combination
for Annual Trophy in
Final Match.

NEW YORK. June - New Yo-k w,n-
an golfers. to the surprise OF themselves
and the delight Of their friends, defeated
the apparently invinslhle Boston contiu-
gent by . points - Is in the Iiual stage
for the Griscom cap on the Ba,iusrol
links Yesterday.
Whef the teams sailed forth il WAS
conceded that the metropolitan aggrega-
tion was answering the call to forioin
hope, and had il not been for the eNer-
tons Of Mrs +. +. sanford and Mrs. {.
l.. Tiffany. who left no stone unturned
TO attain victory a defeat would have
been inevitable.
As it was tie combined persuasive pow
er of Mrs. Sanford and Mrs. Tiffany sue
ceeded in bringing back 10 the fold Mrs.
c. 7. Stout and Mrs. T.. A. Manice.
neither of whom has played golf =
amount 10 anything for the last two
years Then, again, Mrs. w. Fellowes
Morgan, failed 10 resist the recruitlnS
inducements Of these two enthusiasts.
while they also succeeded, without mine
ing matters, in kidnapping Mrs. w. ID.
Nanderpool. To the qualification of all
who knew the troubles with which the
two officials had been beset, the first
three named won their matches and un-
ouestionably were largely responsible for
New York's unexpected vtctory-a victory
which has happened only once before. and
that in 1905, at the Morris county links.
lnquestonably the match of the day
was that between Miss Georg'anna
+ shop. the national champion OF 1904.
and Miss Mollie Adams, the present Mas
sachusetts and eastern champion. Miss
Bishop never before played more telling
gulr and it was no disgrace for Miss
Adams to suffer defeat by up on the
sixteenth green.
Miss Bishops Pluck Rewarded.
Some idea of Miss Bishops game may
he gathered from the fact that hers was
the only successful attempt during the
week to carry the big bunkers with heer
second Her plucky effort was rewarded
with the only five registered at this hole
since the meeting began. Then. again.
Miss Bishop carried the bunker at the
next hole with her second and re-
warded with a four, another feat which
had not been accomplished since the
opening of the tournament.
Miss Adams. however. stuck pluckily to
her guns, but was still = down playing
| the sixth, where she played her third
dead and won the hole in "A brilliant four.
| The determined Bnstonian. hcwever, lost
the next two holes. which Miss Bishop
/ played perfectly. and as the ninth hole
| was halved the latter WAS > up at the
turn, which she reached in A.
| Coming back. Miss Adams pulled her
drive to the tenth. and became I
| down. but at the eleventh the Boston
| champion holed a fifteen-foot putt for
three. while her opponent just missed an
eight-foot put for the half. Both over
| approached at the twelfth, but Miss
! Bishop ran down her fourth, whereas
her rival left herself too much to do on
| her third. The latter was again 1
down. but she had all the better of the
| thirteenth, and holing a twelve-foot putt
for three after her opponent had holed
| from the edge of the green in four
showed that nothing short of a cataclysm
was possible to upset her mental equilb-
| rum.
For some unknown reason Miss Bishop
| tried with her second to carry the bunker
at the fourteenth and failed. Miss Adams,
however, lost the opportunity by plung-
| ing her third into the same obstacle, and
a half in six resulted. Neither made a
mistake at the fifteenth, but at the six
| teenth Miss Adams took three puts and
| lost the match. The cards were:
