wonderful game. And surprises hap

The weather was ideal and a gall
lery OF several hundred persons
followed the players.
Miss Dodd seemed TO be muscle
bound whenever she reached the
putting green and did not win a sing
gle hole in the entire match. She
halved but three. No one can recall
a big title contest in this country in
which a player of world reputation
has figured in such a procession.
The Miss Hollins-Miss Curtis match
was a tremendous battle from the
start as had been expected for Miss
Hollins has seldom failed in her
short career to put up a great fight
particularly in the later places of a
contest. The big gallery gradually
fiocked from the other pair TO fol-
low the Americans.

puts Of fully twelve feet. for a halt
in a birdie three to par four.
