tered the fourth round included r-iss
Mollle Griffiths, runner-up last year.
Though the showing of the Ameri.
can invaders was distinctly disap-
pointing to them they had no com
plants to offer. They are frank to
admit the standard of play is higher
mere, though Miss Alexa Stirling and
Miss Marion Hollins are equal to the
best of them when at the ton Of their
game.
The match between Miss Cummings
the capable little miss of the Onwent,
sia club, of Chicago, and Miss Winn
was the best in which the Americans
participated. Miss Cummings PLAYED
finely on the outgoing journey and gave
het opponent hard struggle and made
the turn on even terms with her. The
incoming trip was also nip and tuck
affair up to the seventeenth hole, where
Miss Winn clinched the issue.

Miss McCulloch started topping her
shots, and continued missing them the

advantage and being all square at the
end of the first nine holes. Coming in
Miss Leitch was steadier and played
much better golf to gain her victory.
