through the first round safely did not
worry most OF the favorltes In the
women's national championship on the
links OF the Onwentsia Club at Lake
Forest to-day, n the only golfers OF
prominence to drop out were beaten by
opponents equally as well known. one

\. Gavin. the British entrant won
easily from Mrs. G. +. Henneberry of
Glen View, and Miss Elaine v. Rosen-
thai. the new Western champion, had
no trouble in beating Miss Ethel Chat
field OF Kishwaukee.
Mrs. Barlow and Miss Hollins carried
with them the biggest gallery OF the
day and the spectators saw a splendid
struggle nearly all OF the way. The
ending was rather tame. for with the
I match all square Miss Hollins missed
n short putt on the seventeenth green
and lost the hole. The eighteenth was
halved. so the missing OF that little putt
really decided the match. The turn for
home was made with Mrs. Barlow l up,
medal scores being about 46 and 81.
Appropriated scores for the round were
80 to 81.
Miss Strings extra hole victory over
Mrs. Hammond was one OF the best
matches of the day. The little Southern
champion picked up a lead OF three
holes by the time the turn was reached
but coming in Mrs. Hammond managed
to win them all hack. II seemed as
though Miss Strings main fault was a
little nervousness as the match drew
near the home hole, but II she was
nervous then she was GOODNESS personi-
fed on the extra hole. She took plenty
OF time before each shot and played the
hole perfectly. winning In 5 TO s. Mrs
Hammond losing a stroke by playing out
of bounds.
Its the first nineteen hole match I
ever played and l hope II will be the
last" said Miss Stirling when II was
all over. The cards for the eighteen hole
round showed totals Of - for Miss Stir
ing and &c for Mrs, Hammond.
The honor OF playing the best golf of
the day went to Miss Lillian u. Hyde.
The Metropolitan champion went out in
an approximate Al. although the first
hole was n hard one TO estimate. She
played her second shot into a hazard
and 1t rolled into a gopher hole. She
thought that she could move the ball
with n penalty of one stroke and played
out the match under that Impression.
As II was she lost the hole for moving
her ball. but she beat Mrs. Ltveright
by so wide a margin the misconceptions
Of the rule made little difference. The
holder Of the Metropolitan title made
only two really poor shots after the
gopher hole episode. She sliced her
drive on the third and topped an iron
shot from the tee on the dogleg eighth.
1t was practically perfect golf the rest
OF the way.
Mrs. Nanderbeck won so easily from
Miss Chandler that she did not have to
play especially good golf to do II. The
