HRS. BARLOW IN
LAKEWOOD FINAL
Her Opponent in Decisive
Golf Test Will Be
Mrs. Fraser.

The first and second rounds OF match
play in the invitation golf tournament
Of the Country Club of Lakewood were
completed yesterday, and as . result
Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, Of Philadelphia,
and Mrs. C. J. s. Fraser, of Baltusrol,
will meet to-day in the decisive test
for the chief cup.
Il was Mrs. Fraser and Mrs. H. Reeve
Stockton who furnished the excitement
yesterday, for the former found it
necessary togo to the twonty-frst hole
before she could win. Driving far and
straight and really outclassing her OPP
ponent in the other departments, Mrs.
Fraser won four Of the first six holes.
Then Mrs. Stockton came to life. Win
ming tho ninth, she reduced the margin
Of the other three, and by TIE time the
thirteenth was reached had squared the
match.
The contest was hard fought from
there on, matters standing all even at
the home hole, where Mrs. Stockton ran
down a fairly long putt. She might
have settled the match on the twenti-
eth, for she had stroke less than her
opponent up 10 the green; but she fall
tered on the chip shot. which she usu-
ally plays so we'll. and. taking prac-
tically three puts, was prevented from
getting better than half. Mrs. Fraser
turned the tables on the twenty-trst.
Another chip shot from off the edge of
the green laid dead would have given
Mrs. Stockton a half, but again she
ftltered. and the hole and the match
were lost.
Subsequently Mrs. Fraser took on
Miss Madelaide /. Randall, of Fox Hills,
a diminutive miss with a telling swing.
Kiss Randall, whose style has been a
matter for admiration among the other
women, developed a tendency 10 be wild
in practically every department, and
Mrs. Fraser won handily by and 4.
Mrs. Barlow had an easy time of 1t.
She first bowled over Mrs. j S. Irving,
Of Scarsdale, by and g. She went out
in ~ and was five up at the turn. Re-
cordng 2, 3, on the next three holes,
she won them all and the notch. Her
tee shot on the short tenth was prac-
tically dead to the pin. The generous
Mrs. Irving, although badly beaten, de-
clared she never had such lovely
round. She had learned great deal,
she said.
Late in the day Mrs. Barlow opposed
Mrs. Frederick A. Potts, OF Lakewood
and had little difficulty in winning by
5 and 4 margin. The Philade lphia
woman was up at the turn. and the
match was never in danger Neither
OF the contestants was going well.
