GOLF TITLE FOR
MISS RAVENSCR0FT
Former Champion of Great
Britain Defeats Miss
Marion Ho|Iins.
MATCH INTERESTING
FROM START TO FINISH
Both Players Good in Their
Long Game, But Uncertain
at Approaching.

WILMINGTON. Del, October 1s-For
the third time in five years the women's
national golf championship has been won
by player from the British Isles. On
the course of the Wilmington Country
Club today Miss Gladys Ravenscroft of
the Bromborough Club, England. former
champion of Great. Britain, defeated Miss
Marion Hollins, Westbrook, L. l., this
years metropolitan title holder, up,
after a sharp contest in which both
played good and bad golf
The match was interesting from start
to finish. Both players were nervous ut
different periods, but Miss Kavenscroft
was the steadier of the two and at times
appeared as if she were in only a practice
match. Miss Hollins: feeling the response
bility of trying to keep the American
championship at home played very
plucky game despite the importanceof. the
match. She got into frequent trouble by.
making bad drives and would come up
strongly and get into the game again
with shots that won applause. She, how
ever. could not take advantage of the bad
breaks made by her English rival. Her
inability to do this helped her to lose the
championship.
Both Miss Hollns and Miss Rayenscroff
were good in their long game, but were
uncertain and at times weak in their
approaching and putting. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Miss Raverscroft at
several periods was of her game, she
covered the IS holes in So. the best score
OF the tournament. Miss Hoilins' total
score was 81.
The American player opened the match
badly. She had the first hole practically
won. as Miss Ravenscroft got into q
bunker and lost a stroke. Miss Hollins
played her third stroke too strongly and
overshot the cup. and the best she could
do after that was to halve the hole
Miss Ravenscroft won the second. 3 to
4, and Miss Hollins squared the match on
the third, to s. The next three holes
were halved and on the seventh Miss
Ravenscroft was one up. The eighth and
ninth were halved. Coming in Miss Hol.
Inns squared the match on the tenth, only
to go one down again on the succeeding
hole. The twelfth and thirteenth holes
were halved and Miss Ravenscroft took
the fourteenth. which made her two up.
Miss Hollins took the fifteenth, to 4,
making her one down, and the next two
We're halved.
With one chance left Miss Hollins drove
into the brook ditch on her eighteenth
and took two to get out On her fourth

execution feinted him into receiving a

After the fifteenth round came a change
