Manchester, Mass, Oct. L.-All three Of
the metropolitan golfers who qualified In

nament on the links OF the Essex County
Club yesterday won their first round

10 play
When contestants and gallery began TO
arrive in the early hours the sky had q
threatening aspect and quite wind was
sweeping in from Massachusetts Bay. Be
cause of the fact that none-of the real
favorites came together in the first match
play clash the spectators were divided
into several groups, some following the
champion and Mrs. Perkins. others watch
ing Miss Hyde and Miss Frances Girls
com, and still others dividing their time
between the Miss Bishop-Miss Louisa
Wells, and the Miss Hollins-Miss Edlth
Chesebrough matches.
Miss HYDE lost no time in taking CON-
mand of the situation in her match with
Miss Griscom, and although the Long
Island girl had her usual trouble on the
greens, this ragged short game did not
prove damaging, because of equally ire
auent lapses on the part OF the former
champion from Philadelphia. Three puts
by both were common, but despite TINS
Miss HYDE reached the turn In A., her
card including no less than four 6s. MISS
HYDE won the match by up ana 10
play.
Practically all the favorites came
through successfully, and only one contest
was carried to the home green, that be
tween Miss Hollins and Miss Chese-
brough The player from the racine
Coast stood / up at the end OF the hrsl
nine holes, and she still held this al
vantage with only two left. Miss Chese-
brough then went to pieces on the green's
so that Miss Holllns was able to win both
holes and the match. Off the tee and
through the green Miss Chesebrough dis
played a fine game, but her weakness III
putting proved fatal.
Miss Margaret Curtis started early with
Mrs. Perkins. The title holder drove into
trouble from the first tee, taking FOR
the hole, but thereafter her strokes would
not he denied and she speedily over
yhelmed her opponent the match ending
on the twelfth green Had the bye holes
been PLAYED out Miss Curtis would have
had a good card.
Miss Fanny Osgood. of Brookline.
former Eastern champion, defeated Mrs
r. NJ. Gardner. of Belmont, while Mrs.
G. W. Roope, the Massachusetts title
holder, who only qualified yesterday after

form. and easily defeated Mrs f. w.
Batchelder In another match Miss ii.

The hopes of the West fell when Miss
Gladys Rosenthal, of the Ravisloe Club,
was brushed aside by Mrs l.. c. Wheeler.
formerly Miss Mary Adams. Although
Miss Rosenthal was 3 up at the sixth
hole. her opponent. thanks to a deadly
short game squared the match at the
turn. and then gradually drew ahead,
finally winning on the fifteenth green
