Alexa Stirling, Youthful Girl
from Georgia. Finishes in
Third Place.

Lake Forest, ILL.,. Sept. 6.-Returning
score Of SIS, which Tom Nardon de-
elared only a stroke more than the
women's par for the links. Mrs. c. II.
Vauderbeck, Of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, won the medal in the eighteen
hole qualifying round Of the national
golf championship tournament at the
Onwentsia Club to-day.
Miss Lillian b. Hyde, Of the South
Shore Field Club, just failed on an
eight-foot putt for on the home
green and thereby missed tie. As II
waa, the metropolitan champion had
to be content with second place.
Both as to quantity and quality the
tournament must be ranked as one of
the best in the history OF the United
States Golf Association. Belated en-
tries swelled the total to 1871, and OF
that number 120 started the largest
field on record for the women's cham
pionship.
Mrs. W. A. Garvin. Of Sheriey PARK,
England, and Mrs. J. " Hurd. Of Pitts
burgh, both qualified handily with scores
of 90. Mrs. Gavin, wha has made
quite reputation as a golfer abroad,
is the wife of the man who was in New
York a few years ago with William
Horn, the masked golfer.
Only a little behind the leaders was
Miss Alexa Stirling, the seventeen
vesr-old Southern champion from At
lanta. Miss Stirling eaptivated the
gallery with her easy, graceful style.
SIZE went out in IS and came back In
as for 81. Miss Marion Hollins, Of
Westbrook, started badly, but two SO
coming back helped her get round in ~.
Mrs. Vanderbeck ia getting her 50
made few mistakes. On the hrst green
the champion Of the Women's Eastern
Golf Association took three puts, and
she was also short on her approaches
to the eighth and ninth holes. Even
so. she reached the turn in II.
Coming back the Philadelphia
Cricket Club woman got oadly bunk
cred at the thirteenth hole, taking two
shots to get clear OF the sand. The
hole cost her 6. A twenty-foot
putt on the sixteenth green gave her

What was most gratifying to Miss
Hyde's partisans was her ability TO
atone for poor direction in her long
driving by her putting, which has gen
erally been her besetting sin. She dis
played great ability in getting up to
the cup from sny part of the green
and then sinking the next one. Her
work with the long irons and IN short
approaching left little TO be desired.
! One Of the striking evidences Of this
/ excellence was on the boomerang. or
eighth. hole, which makes complete
right angle after the tee shot past a
/ fringe OF trees. Here Miss hydes
/ approach was so accurately placed over
/ bunkers guarding the green that she
ran down the putt for 5, one under
par.
The most sensational recovery by the
Long Island girl was on the bOb-yard:
! No. u hole. the longest. by the way. Of
the links. Here her drive was far and
/ straight. but the brassie was sliced to
a shallow trap, where it lay well. Miss
HYDE went after IT with her cleek and
picked il up 40 clearly that she sent
/ il 100 yards TO the green. Two puts
gave her the par 5. Her card was as
/ follows:
Miss Lillian b. Hyde, South Shore.
