SHOWING IN TOURNEY
Mrs. Barlow and Mrs. Van
derbeck Prove to be Ster-
ling Performers in Test
Held at Glen Cove.

NASSAU COUNTRY CLUB. Glen Cove
l. l., n. Y, Sept. 1s--No matter wha,
the ultimate outcome Of the tournamen,
may be, Philadelphia at least has the
satisfaction of knowing that two of It's
representatives reached the semihnal
stage In the Women'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 Eleine Rosen-
thai. the ls-year.old girl from Raylsoe,
but there was a great deal of specula-
tion as to the probable outcome of the
tilt between Mrs Vauderbeck and Mrs.
il. 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 n week of dry
weather. for the turf has become so
baked out that balls get unusually long
runs. In other words. an indifferently
hit half topped bali here gets practically
"a far es 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
q putt for a g. which she missed. so that
they halved in four. Up the hill to the
6OO-yard second Mrs. Vanderbeck's third
shot found a trap beyond the green. She
laid out of the sand to within Z feet OF
the cup, but failed on her try for the
Rtra nd Ice TaT NtsiT o.

Mrs. vanderbeck sank long putt for
q four at the third and IL Won the hole
when her opponent failed on the like, the
missed putt being decidedly short.
Both women got into difficulty at the
fourth. Mrs. Jackson with sliced drive
20 trap and Mrs, Nanderbeck on her
second shot From the sand Mrs. Jack
son reached the far edge Of the green
and she won the hole when her op-
ponent again putted weakly. Mrs. Jack
son was then l up.
The Oakley woman increased her ad-
vantage to 2 UP with a fine at the fifth
hole. Mrs. Fanderbeck 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
q jigger she gave herself lot to do. The
Philadelphia woman. however, got down
long putt for a halve in 8. That left Mrs.
Jackson still up going to the seventh.
When Mrs. Jackson again pulled her
drive to the rough from the seventh tee
and had 10 play out short. 1t looked as II
Mrs. Vanderbeck might get back hole.
The Philadelphia woman, however. failed
TO take advantage of the opening present
ed as her try for the green With a brasSie
<sslLHsd IN the ball getting badly trapped
close to the green. She took two strokes

Jackson won the hole in ) TO s, and be-
came 9 up.
Although Mrs Jackson had the better
tee shot over the pond, her ball coming !
to rest on the edge OF the green, she /
took three puts thereby enabling the /
other. who had fallen a trife short, 70
get halve in four.
Mrs. VanderDeck mad a stroke OF luck /
at ninth. where, after missing her try |
for a four she laid the Oakley woman |
a stynle. This prevented Mrs. Jackson /
from getting a four The half there left |
Mrs. Jackson up at the turn. She /
went out in y to - for Mrs. Wander

Mrs. Jackson made a hash OF the tenth. .
