remarkably steady putting, was able to reach the home green all even with her famed oppoent.
 Mrs. Let's Wins
 Each of their balls lay on the green about 40 from the pin. Miss Leitch over~rau by about It feet with her approach putt. while Mrs. Let's was short about 10 feet. Miss Leitch missed her next putt and walked away disconsolately. Mrs. Letts, con- fident and smiling before a gallery held breathless by the tenseness ot the second putt for par four
 Scarcely had the click of the ball dropping in the cup died away befors the gallery burst into a tremendous cheer and rushed to congratulate the victor. Miss Leitch was graceful, even in defeat, warmly clasping the hand of her successful rival only a mo- ment before the American woman was lifted to the shoulders of several oth- CT Chicago players and caTried to the clubhouse. The reason for the great est upset in the history of wom4ns golf is best epitomized in the words of the defeated star herself--"I had a wonderful opponent, who didn't crack"
 Mrs. Let's played marvelouslyl steady game" Miss Leftch said. "Her consistent playing was really beauti- ful after She lost the first three holes. Her par three at the fourth hole was particularly good, not to say amaz- Ing. for she holed a long approach after being in tpa bunker with her drive and short with her second. Her putting-well. I only wish mine had been as good.'

 The defeat of Miss Cecil Leitch re- moves the most dangerous foreign contender for the American cham pionship. There is still a possibility of the title going abroad Miss Edith Leitch, sister of the defeated star, today displayed the best ap- preaching and putting of the tourna- inent by defeating the clever Miss Mildred Caverly. and g. Her re> coveries and her chips from traps, dead to the pin, amazed the gallery, At one trap Edith, conqueror of Miss Glenn collette of Providence. who was tied for the qualifying medal, played practically in the footprints of her noted sister. and succeeded where she failed.
