ton and Mrs. Barlow, who played together
and were the first pair out, were well
ahead of the rest of the field AS a
reward for her victory Mrs. stockton will

Gould.
Il was on the outward journey that
Mrs Stockton gained the two stroke ad-
vantage that won the low score prize,
for coming in the totals OF the two leaders
were the same. Mrs. Stockton did not
begin as II she had hopes of winning, for
She was bunkered twice on the first hole
and took 6. She soon began to play good
golf. however. and Kept on even terms
with Mrs Barlow up to the long ninth.
where she forged two strokes into the
lead. on that hole the wind. which blew
pretty hard all morning. carried Mrs
Barlow's ball into some mounds on the
left OF the course and the Philadelphia
golfer was lucky TO get out az we'll as
she did. As IL was she took Ave shots
to get to the green and finished by taking
three puts when she did get there. The
resultant gave her a total OF 40 going
out. to Mrs. Stockton's ~.

3 on each Of the short water holes and
continued to play good golf UP 10 the
sixteenth. on each Of the last three holes
she played safely and did not attempt
to carry the bunkers She needed on
each OF them, and Mrs. Barlow. taking
chances. managed to get a on the six
tenth and another on the home hole,
clipping to half the four stroke lead that
Mrs. stockton had established. The rally
came n little too late to be OF any real
good. however.
A splendid short game. especially her
good approach shots. won for Mrs. Stock
ton ON several greens her approaches
we're so close to the pin that she needed
only one putt and she did not take three
puts on any green. Both Mrs. stockton
and Mrs. Barlow frequently were of the
course from the tees. though part OF the
time the wind was TO blame The winning
