Mrs. Hurd Beaten i'll
First Round at Golf

Gavin. She is Mrs. L. C. Stockton, Of
Somerille, who encounters the Eastern
champion in the second round to-mor-
row, but that she is likely to give
"a good account of herself was demon
strated to-day when she beat Miss
Marion Hollins, of Westbrook, by up
and TO play and made an ga while so
doing.
Long To Be Remembered.
The last hole Of the match between
MssHollins and Mrs. Stockton will
long be remembered by those wha saw
it. Miss Hollins was only ! down after
a long uphill fight, and saw visions
of victory until her second shot dropped
into the brook which crosses the fair
way. Refusing to be discouraged, by
a little thing like that, she waded into
the brook and played it out with a
shower of water flying along too, only
to have Msr Stockton run down 10
foot putt for a 3 a moment later and
win hole and match.
All of the other matches pursued the
even tenor of their way, seeking the
paths indicated by the amateur proph-
cts who always attend golf Journeys.
One favorite, Miss AleXa w. Stirring,
of Atlanta, drew things rather fine
when she won by only up and to
play from Mrs. f. II. Baker, jr., of the
home club. But the others who had
been picked to win did so little more
handsomely.
Among the favored ones who were
victorious to-day were Miss Elaine Ro-
seminal, Mrs. Fred c. Let's and Miss
Laurie Kaiser from the West; Miss
Edith Chesebrough from the farthest
West; Hamely. the Pacific Coast; Mrs.
Caleb f. Fox. Miss Mildred Caverly and
Mrs. G.. H. Stetson, of Philadelphia, all
three of whom played fine golf to-day,
and Miss Alice Sargent, the last of the
Bostonians.
Plays Mrs. Stockton.
The match between Mrs. Gavin and
Mrs. Stockton, of course, is the best on
to-morrow's programme, but there are
several other good ones; Miss Caverly
meets Mrs. Let's, Miss Rosenthal plays
Miss Chesebrough, and Miss Stirling
will have plenty to do when she tackles
Mrs. Stetson.
