telephone Sunday DR.. Worth pointed
out that the point in the lower pond

English Woman
Threatens to Take
III. s. Golf Title

Deal, n. j., Oct 4-(By the Asso-
ciated Press danger Of the
woman's golf championship of the
United States being captured by an
English woman increased today
when three representatives of that
team, survived the first round of
matched play of the national tourna-
ment in impressive style at the
Hollywood Golf club.
Miss Cecil Leitch, champion of
Great Britain, France and Canada,
won by eight and seven. eliminating
Mrs. r. II. Hammer of New York.
Miss Leitch had an easy opponent,
but her trip to the turn in Al against
a head wind increased respect for her
Babe Ruth-like driving power
The greatest upset of the day was
the defeat of Miss Glenna Collett of
Providence( who had tied for the
qualifying medal. by Miss Edith
Leitch. sister of the British cham
pion, three and two. Miss Collects
poor putting and one shot into a
ditch were to blame.
The closest match was that be-
tween Mrs. Latham Hall of England
who had tied Miss Collett in quail
flying and Mrs. w. A. Gavin of New
York, which went to 20 holes. Mrs.
Hall won as the result of Mrs. Gavin
unthinkingly tamping her footprints
in q bunker with her club before she
hud played out.
Miss AleXa Stirling of Atlanta, the
defending champion, had no trouble
in surviving.
OF the other American favorites,
Miss Mildred Caverly of Philadelphia
had the greatest difficulty. defeating
Miss Bessie Fem of Portland, Me,
at the 10Th hole A tee shot out of
bounds by a hair at the 18th possibly
cost Miss Fem the match as she was
one up after playing the 18th.
