Held at Glen Cove.

the ultimate outcome of the tournament
may be. Philadelphia at least has the
satisfaction of knowing that two of its
representatives reached the semhnal
stage In the Womeu's National Golf
Championship Tournament on the links of
the Nassau Country club. The fact that
Mrs. c. H. Vanderbeck and Mrs. Ronald
II. Barlow were in opposite brackets was
another source of qualification.
Before teeing up time majority in the
gallery were OF the opinion that Mrs
Barlow's steadiness and experience would
prove too much for Miss Eleinc Rosen-
thai the 1s-year-old girl from Ravisloe
but there was a great deal Of specula-
ton as to the probable outcome Of the
tilt between Mrs. Nanderbcck and Mrs
II. Arnold jackson, the Oakley woman,
who last June won the eastern title at
Greenwich.
The long driver has little advantage
over an opponent on this score. especially
as It is now after a week of dry
weather. for the turf has become so
baked out that balls get unusually long
runs. In other words, an !ndifterentlN
hit half topped ball here gets practically
as far as the we'll hit ball that depends
on carry for its length.
TO start the Mrs. Jackson-Mrs. Van
derbeck match the last named got the
better approach to the first hole and had
a putt for n 8, which she missed, so that
they halved in four. Up the hill TO the
5OO-yard second Mrs NanderbeCk's third
shot found trap beyond the green. She
laid out of the sand to within : feet OF
the cup but failed on her try for the
five and Mrs. Jackson winning there De-
came l up.
Mrs. Vanderbecll sank LONG putt for
a four at the third and it Won the mole
when her opponent failed on the like. the
missed putt being decidedly short.
Both women got into difficulty at the
fourth, Mrs. Jackson with a sliced drive
TO a trap and Mrs. Nanderbeck on her
second shot. From the sand Mrs. Jack
son reached the far edge of the green
and she won tho hole when her op-
ponent again puttcd weakly Mrs Jack
son was then / up
The Oakley woman increased her ad
vantage to . up with a tine at the NTH
hole, Mrs. Nanderbeck losing stroke
when she pulled her second shot TO the
rough. After pulling their drives to the
long grass at No. both had TO play
short of the sand, but when Mrs. Wander
beck fell green shy on her third. using
a tigger, she gave herself lot to do. The
Philadelphia woman, however, got down
long putt for u halvc in = That left Mrs
Jackson still up going to the seventh.
