is record for the Belleclaire links
by woman in this section, and, we
b. woman in this country
In any event it was a wonderful
round of golf and it amply demon
strates the caliber of this British
champion. These hgures-76-de-
scribe her game yesterday better than
a volume of graphic phrases. Miss
Leitch has regned supreme among
the women golfers of England since
1918. This year she added the
French and Canadian titles TO her
list Then she came here to compete
for the United States championship
and everybody was ready to concede
men, began.
BY some queer twist of fate, which
probably never will be adequately
explained, she was eliminated in the
National meeting by Mrs. Fred c..
Let's and last week following the
National she was again beaten by
Glenna Collett. To-day Miss Leitch
will have chance 70 avengc her de-
feat ct the hands of the young Provi-
Gence star, as they will meet in one
OF the sem-fnal matches.

Ordinarily this would be great
struggle. but Miss Collett, despite
she f~ct she has been winning her
usual game this week. However. shc
may get into her stride to-day and, if
she does, the contest will be one that
will be worth travelling a long dis
tance to see.
Miss Leitch is apparently in q
determined frame of mind And
nothing but phenomenal golf will
stop her. On Monday in winning the
qualifying round she had an ST.
she got an even so, and nearly
equalcd the record Of the course of
rs held by Mrs. William A. Gavin.
Yesterday, despite a poor start, she
quickly settled down to her real game
and began reeling off par figures 80
rapidly and so steadily those following
here were dumfounded The gallery
will never forget the performances of
this golf marvel on the incoming nine
holes At the turn she was swinging
along at her fastest pace, and, once
the turn was made, she cut loose with
the very best golf she possessed.
Made No Mistakes
Her performance on these last nine
as any man could show. She did not
maze a mistake on the homeward jour
ney ard finished with g. par 81. which,
with 80 going out, gave her & record
score OF rs. Going out she had one
bird" and five par holes, and coming
back she had par scores on seven holes
and one bird"
Against such golf it was astonishing
that Mrs. Heckscher was beaten by
VA nd r. ~. u,
Rock club entry played a fine game
herself; she had to, in order to keep
pace with her English opponent 1t
is quite certain Mrs. Heckscher will not
travel such a dizzy golf pace again for
some time.
On the first hole Miss Leitch missed
her second shot, a brassie wallop, and
then, after reaching the green in three
slipped up on small putt. Mrs
necNseher. had a Ave and won the hole
Miss Leitch topped her second shot or
the second hole, but got par fou,
and squared the match. At the thirc
she sank long putt for bird three
and took the lead.
From then on she gradually drew
away to a comfortable lead. At the
turn she was four up.
