Survivors in Fall Golf Tourna-
ment Defeat Halsell and
Sheble in Spectacular
Matches
WOMEN PLAY ELL

SlfAWNEE-O E-ON-DELAwARE, Pa, oct.
s.-Thcre were two very hotly-contested
matches In the seminal round Of the fall
golf tournament over the links of the
Shawnee Country Club here today be-
tween II. 5. worthington and Huge Hal
sell OF Dallas, Tex, and J. c. Parrish.
Jr, OF the National links. Southampton.
and Frank J. Shcble. of Shawnee. Worth
inRton, of the home club had to give
Halsell three strokes. and the handicap
almost proved too much for him, as he
only just pulled through on the 18th hole.
IL looked nearly all up with Worthing-
ton on the 18th. where he had TO give
his opponent a stroke when Halsell was
on the green in three. about Is feet from
the cup. Worthington was on the green
In three also, but he was well away from
the hole. Fortunately for him, however,
instead Of laying his approach putt dead.
which was all he hoped to do, 1t fell into
the cup. Halsell did not get half way
with his approach putt and failed to hole
out at his next attempt and lost the hole
with six to n four. Both laid their ap-
proach puts dead on the 18th and halved
IL in fours
Parrish made a fine recovery in his
match with Sheble. He was two down
and five to go and managed to square the
match on the eighteenth. on the nine
teenth Parrish got off a good drive and
Sheble dubbed his. With his second shot
however. he was well over the creek, but
short of the green. Parrish pulled off a
beautiful second shot and was on the edge
of the green and down in five. Sheble
was short again with his third, and taking
three more, Parrish won by the odd
stroke.
II surely was Miss Marion Scott's day,
as result of her match in the second
with w. w. Umbenauer, of Philadelphia.
The last named was asked to concede
seven strokes to the Chicago girl and
apparently had the match bottled up when
he stood I up at the seventh, only to
meet defeat at the end.
Up to that stage Umbenhauer had
made few mistakes, and i'm addition holed
good puts on the fifth and seventh
greens. Miss Scott laid her iron shot
to within Is feet of the pin at the short
eighth whereas her opponent, far too
strong, went clear across to the mounds.
Umbenhauer, after well out with mashie,
sank a good putt. therefore getting n
half in three after Miss Scott had missed
her try for two.
Although frequently showing her driver
to the rough the Onwentsia girl almost
invariably recovered well with her irons
At the ninth she made n fine shot out of
trap and won there when her opponent
missed n short putt. That left Miss Scott
three down.
