thellyn Cup Final.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YonK ifnRALp.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 15.-The last
nine holes of the Huntington Valley golf
course here seem to have a special at
traction for Miss Glenna Collett or
Providence, r. I. She won the Bertnei-
lyn cup here to-day by defeating Mrs.
w. A. Gavin of Delleclairo n. Y. by
the topheavy score OF s and 3. But II
was not until Miss Collett reached the
turn that She drew level and she was
never UP until the eleventh.
II has been the same story In every
match she has played In this tourna-
inent. Miss Col,ett has had many trials
on the first nine and has looked like a
possible loser up to the turn nearly every
day. But once she has started the
ascent of the tenth green everything
has come out nicely. After the tenth
Miss Collett won five straight holes
against Mrs. Gavin and annexed the
match.
Yesterday she won fve of the six
holes played after the turn. She was
2 down and to play against Cecil
Leitch on Wednesday and won at the
eighteenth Miss Collet was also
down and s TO play against Miss Caverly
the next day, only to win out on the
seventeenth.
A huge gallery followed the match
to-day, huge considering that It was not
q national tournment. Mrs. Gavin
started at a pace which promised to win
for her in short order. She took the
first two holes with putt for n birdie
on both. She lost the third. but won the
fourth and fifth. That put the Metro
politan player 3 up and she then was
going with deadly precision. But Miss
Collett braced and won three on the
4ho fttrn r "
the match. In fact. from the sixth hole
Miss Collett won eight OF the next ten
holes.
Vow Among America's Best.
The victory OF Miss Collett In this
tournament places her among the fore
most players in the country. She gained

Boston district and Providence titles.
but her triumph here is the most glow
ing of all her victories. for che survived
In a field OF national and international
stars.
The driving OF the Rhode Island Won
der was one of the big features OF her
play. Often she made long shots from
the tee that will rank among. the best
emf golf all the way and her nerve and
gameness are factors which combined to
make her airnos, unbeatable. Miss Col
lett went out to-day in a.. against 43
