Some Beautiful Drives
Mrs. Gavin was driving beautifully
long, straight ball, which generally
carried further than Miss Conroy's.
ana her short game left little to be
desired She was pitching her shots
dead on to most of the greens, so that
she was able to win decisively, mas
much as Miss Conroy was somewhat
erratic with her iron shots. Fine put
ting enabled the Staten Island miss to
make real struggle of the match,
although Mrs. Gavin was very efficient
herself on the greens.
Thus it is rather surprising Mrs.
Gavin did not win by a larger tally.
Miss Conroy won only the sixth hole,
yet so well and so evenly were the two
playing on the outgoing round that the
Belleclaire woman was but / up at
the turn.
Mrs. Gavin took the lead at the very
start, winning the first hole with fine
four, while Miss Conroy, in the rough
on her second, took a five. The next
four holes were halved, both women
playing steadily and soundly. Miss
Conroy squared the match at the sixth
where she played q beautiful approach
shot from twenty yard off the green
to within foot of the pin.
Mrs. Gavin came right back and took
playing fine chip shot from out of q
trap in front Of the green to within
twelve feet of the cup. Miss Conroy
missed an easy two-footer for half.
Plays Tenth Hole Poorly
Miss Conroy, who had been playing
the eighth hole perfectly all week, get
ting two rs on it, barely missed getting
another yesterday. She pitched to
Mrs. Gavin went over the green into
several mounds. She recovered won
derfully we'll, almost holing out, and
managed to get for half. On the
ninth, after Mrs. Gavin had barely
avoided trap on her second, she
pitched to within three feet of the
pin and halved the hole.
Miss Conroy played the tenth poorly
She drove into the rough and barely got
out on her second shot, went into 8
trap on her third and got into an
other pit on her fourth shot. Mrs
Gavin, playing steadily, won the hole
5 to T. Mrs. Gavin sank a ten-footer
on the thirteenth for win and
clinched the issue at the fifteenth by
playing down the line, while Miss Con-
roy swerved from the line and got into
trouble.
