same AS LAST YEAR
Mrs. Barlow and Mrs. Van
derbeck Meet Again for
the Championship
MRS. HILLES LOSES
TO MRS. VANDERBECK

Although they were not as closely
contested as they might have been, the
matches between Mrs Ronald II. Bar
low and Mrs. Caleb f. Fox and Mrs.
Clarence f. Vanderbeck and Mrs. Flor
ence Bayard Hillcs were anything but
devoid of interest. Mrs. Barlow defeat
ed Mrs. Fox, up and TO play, and
Mrs. Vanderbecl1 beat Mrs. Hilles. 4 up
and to play, but it was only at the
end of both matches that the winners
drew away from their opponents. Per-
haps the better golf was seen in the
match between Mrs. Barlow and Mrs.
Fox, hui the contest between Mrs.
Nanderbeck and Mrs. Hilles was bv far
the more thrilling. the climax being
reached on the 10th hole, when Mrs
Vanderbeck made sensational 20
yard shot, the ball hitting the stand
ard and dropping into the cup a fitting
conclusion to a match replete with
dramatic incidents.
Mrs Barlow and Mrs. Fox played ex-
ceedingly steady golf. and although Mrs
Fox was beaten she could not have
been dissatisfied with her play. There
was nothing TO choose between them
on the first nine holes. Mrs. Barlow
started out the better of the two anil
won the first two holes in 6 to Z and
10 g. Mrs. Fox steadied and after
halving the next two, won the fifth
with a TO 8 and the sixth with
10 g. The short seventh was halved
in fours, but Mrs. Barlow played the
net hole well and, taking a to a G..
was l up. Mrs. Fox squared the match
on the ninth hole with to a 6. Com
ing in Mrs. Barlow played better than
ever. Two fours TO two iives gave her
the tenth and eleventh holes, and after
halving the 18th and 18th, she won 4
up and 3 to play with fives on the l4th
and 18th to skies.
Throughout the match Mrs. Barlow's
putting was wonderfully accurate and
often when Mrs. Fox had a chance for
half she would run down an s or 10
foot putt As was The ease last year,
Mrs. Barlow and Mrs. Nanderbeck will
fight il out in the final round Last
year at Huntingdon Valley Mrs. Barlow
won easily, but today Mrs. Nanderbeck
should give her much better match.
Mrs. James Akeroyd must have a lk-
ing for la-hole matches. In her match
with Mrs. p. W. Haines in the semi
final round of the second eight on We'd
nesday she defeated her opponent on
the 18th hole, and yesterday She and
Mrs. Vetterlein had to play an extra
hole before she could claim the vic
tory. Miss II. Ethel Maule and Mrs.
