Mrs. w. A. Gavin 81 B~altusroi won
d~ecislvely in the semi final round Of
the Women's Metropolitan Golf Ass
ISOLATION championship tournament
at the Piping Rock CLUB. defeating
Mrs, II. c. PhIpps OF the home club.
S up and Z TO play. IN the final round
to-day Mrs. Gavin will meet Mrs.
Thomas Hucknall OF Forest I'M. who
reached the last bracket at the Ok
pense Of Mrs. l.. A. Wimpfheimer OF
the Century Country Club.
The honors OF the day vent 20 Mrs.
Gavin. whose mechanical strokes en-
abled her to take advantage of every
mistake OF her opponent. At no time
during tho match. which lasted only
eleven holes. did the British player
make n really bad shot. Two or three
times her drives wandered a trite'
landing her ball in trouble. but on such
occasions she generally managed to -
cover with the minimum amount Of pen
atty.
At the fourth holo a rather unusual
thing happened for n championship CONT
test. In making her swing for the
drive Mrs. Phipps missed the globe
completely. the clubhead striking the
ground several inches back Of the ball
and bounding completely over. That
blunder was discounted. however. whe
Mrs. Gavin. after a second shot to the
rough. became trapped on her third.
They halved in 9.
That. by the way, vas one OF only
three holes Mrs. Phlpps did msnage 70
hnlve during the match. Mrs. Gavin. by
going out in a.. stood 7 up at the turn.
Where the English player scored most
decisively was with her mashie and putt
ter. Practically every time her BAH
came 10 rest Just of the green's edge \
Mrs. Gavin with a deft chip shot would
lay the rubber core, " not Aosoluteiy
dead, at least close enough to enable 7
her to get down the putt. In that wAH
she won hole after hole. The matchN
ended on the eleventh green with a
half in 3. Both had fine toe shots and
laid their approach puts dead.
The gallery would have liked TO see
the winner play out the bye-holes, for
the way she has been going In all OF her
matches this week, the chances arr. that
Mrs. Gavin would have been able 70
complete the roundc close to ~.
The tendency to top her second shots
was responsible for Mrs. Wimpfheimer
losing several holes in her match with
Mrs. Hucknall. on the tee there was
little to choose between the two and
they were generally fairly straight. At
the fourth hole. however. which Mrs;
down. she got into two hunkers and
took 5 for the hole. She topped he's
second shot at the sixth. sliced her app
going to No. 5. Tho Forest Hills woman
went out In 45 and made the turn 4 up.
Mrs. Hucknalis worst lapses were at
the tenth, whore she twice found trouble
and took Z for the hole. BY sllcinR
her drive she also lost the twelfth. That
left her only 2 up. but her opponent be-
came unsteady thereafter. missing her
second shot at the fourteenth aud top
ping her drive from the fifteenth tee.
