each in the womens annual handicap
tournament OF the Wilmington Coun-
try Club yesterday. Mrs. r. n. Bar
low, Merton Cricket Club. won the
prize for the best gross score by turn
ing in a card of 81 strokes for the
eighteen holes.
During the day the scores turned
I'm we're in some cases exceptionally
high, but this was due principally to
the recent storm which swept the
course and made going in all depart
ments of the game rather hard. The
greens we're still very heavy and this
alone was enough to make many Of
the women take two OF three puts
on every green. In spite of this
handicap Philadelphia representatives
Jared the best and carried off all the
honors.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Hirsh
would have carried of the net score
trophy II she had not gotten into
trouble at tho third hole. From the
time she teed the ball n streak OF
mishappening followed her and she
found herself In most every hazard.
and as a result It took 10 strokes to
exception OF the third hole her play
ing was very consistent and the high
est number OF strokes taken after
this on any one hole was on the
eighth, where curiously enough 1t re-
quired eight strokes. While the first
nine holes were made in DC strokes
she improved considerably ON the last
nine holes and succeeded in negoti-
ating these in As strokes.
Miss Maule, on the other hand
while not playing double figures for
any one hole In the Is. had an eight
on the six, nine on the eighth and
three times was compelled to take
seven strokes. The cards follow:

Mrs. Bariow's score was by far the
best turned in by any of the contest
ants. Her gross core of 90 just
equaled the net scores OF Miss Maule
and Mrs. Hirsh. and n her handicap
had been minus one instead OF plus
one she would have carried off both
/
played a very consistent game of goli
and the same amount OF strokes was
taken 10 play the first nine holes as
it did 20 play the last nine holes. Only
once was she in any kind of trouble,
and this occurred in the fourteenth,
where she took seven strokes. Many
OF the holes were negotiated in par
and once she got three. Her card

Won Driving Contest
In addition to the Is holes handicap
medal play a driving. approaching
and putting contest was held. Mrs.
Barlow again came 10 the front and
outdrove all the other contestants,
the first ball going 1872 yards. the
second 19e yards and the third 2O4
yards. which made a total of 57s
yards for three drives. Mrs. Hish
was second in this contest with 1873
15O and 1b4 yards, total OF 437
yards.
The approaching aud putting con-
test was keenly contested. Each
player had three balls 20 play and the
one getting down in the least num-
her of strokes was awarded a prize
Miss Maule and Mrs. Suddards tied
with seven strokes but IN the second
Miss Maule took 10, while Mrs. Sud
dards succeeded in running down her
three in nine strokes.
The play of between Mis- Maule and
Mrs. Hirsh will take place during the

tournament Both have entered this
event and arrangementsAhre beinf
made to have them paired together
