Miss Leitch played Barnes In the
afternoon after defeating Miss Aleaa
by 2 up. The English woman's card

Barnes Has Hard Task.
Barnes would have won by six and
four in handicap match. but
the slX-bisque handicap. form OF
play in which Miss Leitch frequently
engages with professionals. Was a
great obstacle for him to overcome.
II meant that Miss I.eitch could elect
al any green. after the puts Were
sunk. to subtract from her strokes
for the hole one or any of the
strokes advantage permitted her for
the match. She usually took bisuue
to halve holes which Barnes had won.
AT the turn, Barnes, having played
In one under par, was two up on
actual play. but the match was even.
because Miss Leitch used two of her
bisques to halve two holes, which he
had played in ono under par. Barnes
had one eagle and six brides; he
holes in one over par. He went out
in 36, one under par, and came home
In 80. five under par.
While the match ended at tho sev-
enteenth green, the bye hole was
played to permit the record. A tee
cost him a SIX one over par, and at
the par foui sixth, his long drive
bounced back from q hill. requiring
him to play his second shot ahead of
Miss Leitch's for the first and only
time in the match. His second left
him with a bad lie near a stone wall,
just off the green.
On the way home Barnes had an
eagle three and three brides. He
missed an eagle two at the home
green by a hair. He might have had
birdie instead aseSt of par the fs fc at ha
he inadvertently played his second
shot to the eighth green. which ad-
joins the seventeenth.
Does Some Great Driving.
The feature of his work was his
drives, which were from SO to 100
yards longer than the efforts of the
female Babe Ruth of the tee. His
drives had not only length but con-
troll: For instance; at the 466,yard ;ir
erately hooked his tee shot around
trees, getting a distance of at least
275 yards, which paved the way for a
birdie three, while Miss Leitch drove
into the trees and required seven
strokes to sink. her worst hole of the
match. His ability to hook at will
enabled Barnes to get birdie three
at the 310-yard 'dog-leg" second.
His tee shot here curved around trees
and went into trap, 10 yards short
of the green.
At the 525-yard fourteenth hole
Barnes got an eagle three by a
mighty drive that was said by an Of
fetal who measured it by pacing
to be $40 yards long. Barnes here
put his second shot 6 feet from the
pin. An accurate index of his driv-
ing power was the home hole, 274
yards, where his tee shot made the
green. 20 feet from the cup and be-
yond it. His first putt SKINNED past
the hole by a hair. Miss Leitch here
was 60 yards short of the green
with her effort from the tee, but had
an excellent second iron shot. In
deed, her approaches were one of the
brightest spots of her days work.

Barnes was the better putter, taxi
ing 80 strokes on greens to Miss
Leitch's 35. He had one remarkable
chip shot from trap. At the 366-
yard eleventh hole. though outdriven
by seventy-five yards, Miss Leitch
made the green in 2, twenty feet from
the cup. while Barnes put his second
into trap. He Clipped from the sand
