women Of this section have proved Miss
Campbelrs most troublesome foes. a
metropolitan woman was responsible for
Miss Campbelrs first defeat in this coun-
try. at Virginia Hot Springs. and now Miss
Bishop comes into the lmelight
Weather conditions could hardly have
been worse for scoring. The frosty gale
which thraShed over the links numbed the
fingers, PLAYED havoc with the drives and
even caused the balls to do all sorts of
queer stunts" on the greens. Further

it does playing length Of 6,449 yards. pre-
sents the severest kind of a test for a
woman under the most favorable condi-
tions. Consequently. it is to their lasting

Mrs. Stout make the round While the
North Berwick girl made comparatively

the last tee. Both drove the green over the

tee shot to within twelve feet of the pin,
brought off the put for the only 2 of the

got her into trouble. Probably her worst
piece of i'll luck, however. occurred on
