Thrilling Match-The
Summaries

LAKEWOOD. y. j., Oct. %. Women
golfers who qualified yesterday for match
play in the invitation tournament on the
links of the Country Club of Lakewood
turned their attention today to the first
round Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, the
medal winner, became the favorlte for
the chief cup when she defeated Mrs. j.
S Irving. of Scarsdale, s and 8, and Mrs.
H. Reeve Stockton, of Plainfeld, lost to
Mrs. c. ]. s Fraser, of Batusrol. in a
2l-hole match
Mrs Barlow got away to a poor start,
her drive on the first hole being badly
sliced into the rough Even at that. she
was able TO get a half. for Mrs. Irving s
work around the green was none too
good. Mrs. Barlow became one up at
the second, and the most spectacular shot
of the match was brought off in the third
hole by the former Eastern champion.
Her third shot came to rest within 70
yards of the green, but she holed out
the approach for a four. This made her
two up. BY the time the turn was
reached she had gained an advantage OF
five holes.
Recording a two on the short 10TH
thanks to a fine tee shot, Mrs. Barlow
annexed that and the next as well, when
she got a par three. A four on the 270-
yard 18th hole made her eight up with
six 10 play
The excitement, 80 far as the gallery
was concerned, was furnished by the
three extra holes between Mrs. Fraser
and Mrs. Stockton. At the offset it ap-
peared as II the Baltusrol woman would
have things all her own way, for she
won 4 out of the first 6 holes. This ad-
vantage she held until the end of the
eighth, and held a 3-hOle advantage at
the turn.
Then Mrs Stockton came to life, win
ming the 10Th and 18th, where Mrs. Stock
ton came to within striking distance.
She squared the match with a spectacular
3 on the 24O-yard 18th, one under par.
From there on it was nip and tuck to
the end. Mrs. Fraser had about Sc,
while the other picked up on several
holes.
A half in was recorded on the 18th
and Mrs. Stockton failed to grasp her
chance at the second 2Oth, when her APP
proach putt was badly short. A similar
lapse on the last green cost her the hole
and the match.
