FlNEHURST, N. G.. March 2S.-Two
close matches were played to-day in
the second round of the woman's North
and South golf championship. In one
OF these Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd.
the present holder Of the title, was
forced to play her best game in order
to win from Mrs. Hope Gibson, of the
Hamilton Golf Club, of Canada, by a .
and l score.
The second close match provided one
Of the upsets of the meeting, for Mrs.
John d. Chapman. of Greenwich, was
rot expected to eliminate Miss. Sarah
Fownes, of Pittsburgh. These PLAYERS
engaged in a match which did not end
until Miss Fownes missed a ten-foot
putt on the home green, giving Mrs
Chapman the match, one up.
The golfers who participated in
these matches had the lowest medal
scores since the play started, all be-
ing we'll under 90.
The gallery followed the Hurd- Glib
son match, and when these players
reached the fourteenth tee and it was
made known in the clubhouse that Mrs
Bibson was leading Miss Hurd Up
the size of the crowd follos :, was
more than doubled.
Mrs. Gibson Weakens
Mrs Hurd hit very damaging shot
at this hole, G shot which in the minds
of many of the spectators discouraged
Mrs. Gibson so that she weakened in
the final effort she had made TO keep
level with the champion. Both drove
well and Mrs. Gibson played smart
iron shot to the green. Mrs. Hurd
then whaled brassie shot to within
two feet of the pin, to win the hole

Mrs. Hurd also won the fifteenth
with 3, taking q 1-up lead. Mrs.
Gibson had splendid opportunity to
get even at the sixteenth, being just
short Of the green in 2, with Mrs.
Hurd's third shot trapped. Mrs. Hurd
chipped out for and Mrs. Gibson took
puts. The seventeenth hole as played
by the two women was what Pat Doyle,
the Deal professional, would call
weird"
Mrs. Hurd pushed her tee shot into
miserable lie at the foot of tree
and Mrs Gibson drove into trap short
of the green. Mrs. Hurd made an eff
fort to get her ball free, but failed.
Then she played it back, just getting
it free from the tree. She pitched her
fourth within four feet of the, hole.
Mrs. Chapman Trails
With four to win all Mrs. Gibson
needed was to get out Of the trap
with her second and get down in two
more Her ball was we'll placed in
the trap, but she failed to get it over
the embankment and it rolled back.
Her third effort aent the ball over the
green into a trap beyond and she re-
finally conceding the hole to Mrs Hurd.
Mrs. Chapman trailcd Miss Fownes
most OF the way, and was one down
going to the seventeenth, but she won
this hole with and the eighteenth
with s. In the other matches Mrs
j. S. Pritchard and Mrs. F. c. Let's
ir. won easily. Tomorrow Mrs. Pritch-
ard, former Western champion, will
