Mrs. GarVln N eliminating Mrs
Ernest T. Byfeld Of Ravisloe, set
new record for the tricky course, turn
ing in a brilliant SIS. II was only
fcw days ago IN 9 practice round that
size South Shore star set the womens
figures at ST. Her round to-day, with
practically no run in the ball and in
different putting was little short OF
marvellous.
Mrs Byfeld made plucky effort to
hold her great rival, but against such
game as Mrs Garvin was reeling Off
the Ravisloe girl did we'll to escape
with s and defeat.
Victor Loses First Hole
Miss Stirling took the measure o.
Mrs. G. Henry Stetson, Huntington
Valley, BY margin Of 3 and > The
first hole, which was won b. Mrs.
stetson after the young champion had
messed up al approach shot, was the
only stage Of the match IN which Miss
Stirling was trailing.
At the end Of the first nine holes
the Atlanta golfer was leading by
up, and, although Mrs. Stetson hung
on most tenaciously coming home, the
match ended on the short 18th when
the title holder pitched her tee shot
over the swiftly flowing water of the
Binniekill 20 land 8 feet from the
cup. Mrs. Stetson. trapped on her tee
shot, made one Intellectual attempt to
get out, overran the cup on her third
and then walked across the green and
shook hands with the victor.
The second sensation Of the dav
came in the match between Miss Pea
cock and Mrs. Francis Z. Dubois, of
Raritan Valley, which was won by the
former after an extra hole match
Standing on the 18th tee Mrs. Dubois
was dormie one. Both got fair drives
and were short on their approaches.
Mrs. Dubois laid her third II feet
from the pin and Miss Peacock got
inside this. the ball coming to rest
about eight feet from the cup.
The gallery was expecting a halved
hole and a consequent victory for Mrs.
Dubois, but Miss Peacock brought
Wild cheer from the onlookers by sink
ing her difficult putt for a par g. Mrs
Dubois failed to get down. and they
stood all square.
Going to the extra hole, both reached
the green on their third, Miss Peacock
about thirty feet away and Mrs. Dubois
half that distance. hTe girl knew that
only desperate measures would sue
ceed and she studied her line of putt
carefully and then tapped the ball. The
rubber core rolled stra ght and true
for the pin. The gallery held is
breath in suspense and then when the
ball tr,ekled into the cup let loose
salvo Of applause
Good Shot" Says Rival
Mrs Dubois smiled as she said good
shot" and then made great attempt
to hole her shot. But the ball stopped
two feet short of the cup and Miss
Peacock, competing in her first big
tournament, had become q sem -fnalist
IN the national championship tourney.
Mrs. Nanderbeck gained a notable
victory over Mrs. T. Il. Barlow. Of
Merton, winning a nip-and-tuck match
or the home green by sinking a side
hill putt from 10 feet away. The ball
barely had legs" enough to trickle in
Early in the struggle Mrs. derbecA
had lead Of 5 uD, but on the last nine
holes Mrs. Barlow played remarkable
gof, reeling off 40 for the lowest
marx Of the day for the last nine holes
L IS interesting to speculate on the
scoring possibilities OF Mrs. Gavins
game to-day had the course been dry.
The heavy turf probably made d dif-
ference Of at least three strokes and
IN addition Mrs. Gavin did not sink
even one long putt. A normal round
would produce two or three such shots.
In other words had Mrs Gavin had
her snare Of the "breaks" she n ght
well have scored under 30 to-day. That
was the quality Of golf she was play
ing
The South Shore marvel was hitting
every shot cleanly and holding true TO
the narrow fairways IN the main. Let
ne cite an example IOr the distance
Mrs Gavin was obtaining with her
