Up to the present tournament Miss Cav
erly has had a pretty tough time Of 1t
all season. She had not been able to get
her stride at all and by the time the Ber-
thellyn Cup tourney came around she was
almost ready to give up In despair. Her
showing in that tourney discouraged her
still more. One day lately, however, the
sun came through the clouds for her and
her startling scores and even play in the
tournament this week show her as better
even than before her slump.
Just as constant tears will wear away
stony eye, so a constant drumming of
golf balls on a tree will kill It. Every
greens committee in the city has had to
face this problem. Whenever there n a
large and spreading tree in range of
drives and healthy brassies. It is sure to
pine away and finally die in the course
of a year or two. Whether Il Is the vibra-
ton of the ball bouncing of its solar
plexus that causes the pinlng away OF
the trees or whether It is the effect of
heart failure every time a golfer comes
up to bat and tn fright at being n large
mark for the ball, is hard to tell, but at
any rate trees do not thrive on thoughts
Of slices and pulls. .
II do not intend to offer any alibis,"
said Miss Anita Phipps today when asked
about her match with Mrs G. s. Munson,
which the latter won on the last hole,
Wnen She nOleO out lOO-ydTu
shot. II do not think 1t was bad luck.
Mrs. Munson was simply the better
player. for every expert golfer should
have a miracle corked up in her bag for
use when the day is dark. I shall go out
every morning now while the devil wet
on the grass, and practice miracles"
Mrs. Munson. when questioned as to
whether she meant to basket the long
shot in one, and whether she could do II
again for the ediication of those that
didn't know how, replied: 'T am unalter-
ably and unequivocally opposed to the
war. Beyond that 1 am not annoyed by
anything"
Miss Gertrude Van Pelt has a theory all
her own in this matter OF short puts.
She feels that studying out the shot Us
the surest way TO fail. She simply walks
up to her ball and puts. Nine out of ten
shots she lays dead to the hole, too, from
any corner of the green. She also has
many other theories which she has tried
with varying success
Miss Davis tried to bank her drive to
the 18th off a chicken into the hole The
chicken held up its elbow and waited, but
the ball missed Miss Davis had a chance
for a two, but her ball lodged the hole
a la Chas. Ch'prn.
