Better or more courageous play was(
never before seen in womens meet

better to-day than she has been in her
previous matches this week. The rest
of her game was played with her usual
fnesse. In golf form Miss Stirling
Is the acme of perfection and she
played beautiful game from tee to
green on most of tho holes this
morning and afternoon.
Mrs. Vanderbeck was generally be-
hind her opponent in driving, but man
aged to keep pace with n grand short
game and with good and nervy putting.
Miss Stirling was more at ease than
her opponent, who is inclined to be
nervous About four years ago Mrs.
Nanderbeck was forced to give up the
game in order to save her nervous sys-
tenn from becoming shattered How
ever, although she appeared slightly
nervous in her action to-day Mrs.
Nanderbcck played spendidly and gave
wonderful exhibition of gameness.
The match started with each getting
5 on the first hole. On the second,
after a good drive, Miss Stirling
smashed Aer second shot into trap

heck was on nicely with three we'll
played shots. Miss Stirling in playing
out of the trap did not get under the
ball enough and skidded across the
green to the other side. She also hit
aer next shot too hard and finally lost
the hole
