country turned thelr Htlention toudy 10
the second round of match play In the
tournament for the championship Of the
limited states on the links Of the Nassau
Country Club.
Although there were many star matches
and a few surprises In the first round yes-
terday which made today's matches seem
rather tame by comparison, there was a
bIa gallery out to see the rounds. Miss
,teoreianna M. Bishop, of Brooklawn, .he
medal winner, was pitted against Miss
ELAINE v. Rosenthal, of Ravistoe, and at
.trsLted considerable attention, while Miss
ffJIlIan b. Hyde, the Metropolitan cham
MON. had o lot of followers In her match
with Mrs. j. e. Davis, of Nassau. Mrs.
Ronald H. Barlow, the Philadelphia tltle-
holder and the 1912 runner-up, opposed
Mrs Isaac Marter, of Richmond County,
and attracted the third gallery.
The day was bright and much warmer
than earlier In the week and 1t had its
effect on the course, which now has be-
come very fast and dusty. The greens,
too show the effect of the dry weather.
There was a breeze which blew diagonally
IA many holes, but 1t was not strong
enough to be much OF a factor.
When Miss Hyde and Mrs. Davis went
10 the first tee the last named had no
idea of winning. Although she intended
TO do the best she could, Mrs. Davis
really ought to have won the first hole,
where the Metropolitan champion. after
getting into the rough after the drive,
failed to make the green on her second
Mrs Davis got home in two, but took
three puts. so that 1t was halve in FIVE.
A better long game gave Miss Hyde the
advantage going to the 50O-yard second
hole, but even so 1t would have been a
halye in six had the South Shore Field
Club girl laid her opponent a stymie. That
was after Miss Hyde had missed her Sec
ond putt. She won in six and seven.
To the third hole, matter Of $40 yards,
Miss Hyde drove so far that all she
needed was a mashie-niblick for her ap-
proach, whereas the Nassau player had to
use a brasse. She got bunkered and TAX
ing two to get out lost again. her OPP
ponent getting four. Miss Hyde then
stood up.
Mrs. Davis made no mistakes at the
fourth. getting to the edge of the green
on her second shot and halvng In four.
Although the drive to No. Is all up
hill, Miss Hyde hit such long ball that
she was able to reach the green on her
next with a half iron, whereas her op-
ponent pulled her brassie to the rough.
When Miss Hyde missed her try for
four, Mrs. Davis got down n good putt
for half.
Thus far Miss Hyde's putting had been
nothing to brag of and she took three
puts again on the sixth green, but it did
not matter, as her opponent. who had to
play short of the bunker with an iron,
failed to get on in three. So it was Miss
Hyde's hole in five to six. The South
Shore player was then 8 UP.
Miss Hyde's approach to No. was
underplaycd, the ball falling short OF
the sand trap. Mrs. Davis pulled her
second hole high to the left. but lost
the hole by taking three puts. Miss
Hyde now stood four up.
To continue the Miss Hyde-Nrs Davis
match. both got into trouble at the short
pond hole, Miss Hyde getting into the
water off the tee. while her opponent
overdrove to the trap. Taking to get
clear of the sand Mrs. Davis lost three
and became five down, her opponent
winning with a six.
fine recovery enabled Miss Hyde to
get a halve at the ninth. where she
pulled her nerve to the road. After play

brought off the putt for a 1, good
enough to get a half Miss Hyde, there

and she brought off quite a putt for a 4.
MISS Hyde was dornle then, and the
match ended on tho next green, where
