Mrs. Barlow Excels Field.
Mrs. Barlow was a bit too strong for
the rest of the field. She was playing
consistently strong game OF golf. As
an indication of the steadiness Of her
play II may DO stated that she balanced
Q 46 out and "a in on Monday with .
43 out and q as in yesterday. She re-
ceived no benefit from any especial break
In the luck. and in spite of the great
length of two holes on the course she
was over six only once. negotiating the
612-yard ninth in a par 6.
Here is her card for yesterday:
Out fnut.............'sss ssssss.s-.:,.
II appeared at the finish Of the first
nine holes of play yesterday that Mrs.
II. G. Stetson had a very fair chance to
crowd Mrs. Barlow for first honors. She
had a very nice ~ for the first nine
holes: thereby picking up one stroke on
the leader However. she fell into
trouble aplenty on the second hole of the
return trip.
Her third shot landed in the brook,
costing her q stroke. After dropping
out. she again shot another into the
hazard. and by the time she sank the
ball In the cup she had counted up a
round ten. 1t Is a par four and she
was In a fair way to a I'VE when her
third found trouble. This hole killed
her chances
Gallery Follows Mrs. Gavin.
Mrs. w. A. Gavin and Mrs. L. c.
Stockton OF Raritan Valley, who were
paired, drew quite a following in their
round. Both were regarded fair pos
sibilities to overtake Mrs. Barlow in case
she slipped in her play for the day. Mrs.
Stockton was working back OF a handi-
cap OF one strokeJ brought forward from
Monday. while Mrs Gavin was fve
strokes back
However. neither showed enough on
the first nine holes to offer much en-
enlargement to those who were looking
for New York player to overhaul the
visitor. Both required ~ to get out.
Mrs. Gavin got home in 46, the same as
Mrs. Barlow required. But Mrs. Stock
ton. who had lost one more stroke on
her first nine, fell into bad ways in the
second half OF yesterdays play. She
took 90.
Mrs G. NJ. Heckscher. of Piping Rock.
showed the keenest Improvement over
the first days play. She had to be
content with a 81 on the opening day.
but yesterday turned in a 80 for the
round. landing her in sixth place for
the two days play. Miss Marion Hol-
Inns also clipped Ave strokes from her
first days round. getting a 90 for a total
of 1879 for the two days.
Judging from the showing in the two
| days tournament play the battle for
the Griscom Cup, which begins to-day
on the same course should prove a very
interesting affair. Inasmuch as Bos-
ton has cut no figure in the champion
| ship. It isn't expected that the distrdict
| will have team in the competition.
