No ursets marked the opening match
play round Of the Women's Metropolitan
Golf Association championship tournament
on the Ncntclair links yesterday. Miss

Hyde. % Bay Shore. the latest aspirant
for championship honors, defeated Mrs. S.
F. Lefferts, a former Englewood leader.
The other winners were Mrs. T II. Pol
hemUs. Of Richmond County, and Mrs. ".
FelIowes Morgan, Of BaltUsrol. In the
seminal round to-day Mrs. PoIhemUs viii
meet Miss Hyde and Miss Mix will clash
with Ms Morgan.
Unquestionably the most interesting
match resulted from the meeting of Miss
HYDE ard Mrs. Lefferts. From what has
been seen Of the Long Island girls game
il is a question II there is a woman in the
country capabIe Of getting greater distance
Of the tee and through the green. Mrs,
Lefferts. on the other hand is a deadly
Dutte-. and is never beaten until her op-
rouents ball has found the bottom Of the
cup. L was because Of her clever ap-
proa aching and putting that the Englewood
woman was able to keep the final issue IN
doubt until seventeen holes had been
played
As II often happens. the brilliant drivers
discount the advantage gained by indiffer-
ent work on the green's. and this applied

hole, q matter OF four hundred yards, she
easily reached the green with drive and
an iron.
There really was 10 need for playing the
last hole. but some doubt as II the inter

a time who had won the fifteenth hole,
where Miss Hyde played the wrong ball.

taking no chances, the Richmond County
woman divided the next two, thereby win

When Mrs. Morgan qualified only stroke
behind the leaders, with a capital 81, on
Tuesday, a good many were surprised.
That this was no accident. however, was
shown by her play yesterday, when she de-
feated Mrs. NJ. D Paterson, a club mate,
in a match that had TO be carried to the
home green. Mrs. Morgan drove beauti-
fully, and as she gave little away on the
greens. her opponent had few chances TO
forge ahead.
