Had the putting greens been anything

even this fine card by a stroke or two.
As one glaring instance. there was the
putting travesty at the second hole
which cost him when he thought he
was dead on his second. As a matter Of
fact. the putt was so short that he
might have put it In blindfold on the

The big field lined up for the race In
shallow water while foaming ebb tide
was flowing. But wind conditions were
not SO favorable. A stiff breeze which
blew at right angles caused the water
to become choppy and the going diff

get under way was given by the starter
Miss Bleibtrey went into the lead She
was quickly followed by Miss Wood

was clear Of her nearest opponents after
racing two hundred yards. Her margin
at that time was small. but she increased
little by little from that point to the

Woodbridge were racing neck and neck.
Miss Wainwright was fourth and Miss
