IN both OF the previous contests in
which they played as fnalists, Mrs.
Feitner came out the winner In 1914,
playing over the Essex County course,
Mrs Fejtner Chen Miss Lillian B.
Hyde won in easy manner. IN that
match she got big lead going out and
settled the issue shortly after the turn.
In 1916, over the Baltusrol Club links,
Miss Bishop gave Mrs. Feitner a much
harder time in winning, as she was
forced TO the seventeenth green.
To-day Miss Bishop will again at
tempt to win from Mrs. Feitner. How
ever. from The way in which ting latter
has been playing this week, tie out
LOOK IS none too bright for the Brook
lawn star.
Train Players in Rain
The few hardy enthusiasts who
braved the rain and invited wet feet
and al to trail the South Shore golfer
and Mrs. knight were we'll repaid with
wonderful match, despite the in
clenency Of the weather and the heavy
going. Yesterday we described briefly
the play OF Mrs. Feitner and Mrs
knight, saying both played an excep-
tionany fine long game, but that Mrs.
Feitner, always a poor putter, would
probably show inconsistency on the
green's.
The way the former Miss Lillian
HYDE putted yesterday was q revela-
non. She sank every kind Of reason
able putt, from any direction. Her
work on the greens was simply I'M
ranny and was largely responsible for
her victory. Not that she didn't do
we'll IN the other departments Of the
game. Mrs. Feitner was very much
ION her game" ell the way Her long
game probably is superior 20 that Of
any other woman player in the country,
excepting possibly Miss Hollins and
Miss Stirling.
Mrs. knight also gets tremendous
distance in her drives, but yesterday
she was outdistanced from practically
every tee Due to the soggy condition
O. the soil the ball rolled but little
efrer i landed. so that the Britisher
found herself away on most OF her
drives
This put an extra strain upon her
ability TO keep pace with her oppo-
nenc, and she started to press her
game As natural consequence she
veered from her normal style of play,
ard thus found more difficulty in
negotiating the course. However, in
spite Of these psychological ANA physi-
c4l handbags Mrs Knight kept 20 her
task aai hade 4 game though vain
effort to overcome the odds.

DESPITE the fact they got into
