TURNBERRY, Scotland, June This
here, for all four-Miss Edith Cum
mings of Chicago, Mrs. Quentin T.
Feitner of South Shore, l.. l.; Mrs.
Ronald II. Barlow of Merton, Phila-
delphia, and Miss Sara B Fownes of
Pittsburgh-were eliminated in the
third round of the British women's
championship. Miss Cummings. how
ever, lost by only 2 and l to q strong
player Miss Joy Winn of Aldeburgh,
and both played exceedingly well.
Miss Cummings certainly is a val
liant golfer. She pitched one of the
most perfect stymies imaginable. and
after being down with to play won
the sixteenth hole and made a heroic
effort to win the seventeenth as we'll
but Miss Winn's putting was just too
steady for her.
Miss Cummings looks to me to have
the markings of a champion. like her
nice upright swing, which is so well
under control. and she can do with all
her clubs what many women can do with
none of them, namely, get the ball well
into the air.
Mrs. Feitner was completely outplayed
by Miss Janet Jackson, the Irish cham
pion, who is just now at the top of her
game. The other day in the interna-
tional matches she was 4 down to Miss
Cecil Leitch, the British woman cham
pion. at the turn and won by and l..
Since then she has been playing an in
vincible sort of a game. She was out
in thirty-nine to-day, which is very good
indeed.
Mrs. Feitner's style looked as good as
ever but she wasn't doing things right.
and nothing but the best would do. Miss
Jackson overwhelmed her by some seven
holes.
Mrs. BarIow's Gallant Fight.
Mrs Barlow made n gallant fight
against Miss Joyce Wethered of Wor-
plesdon, who Is generally reckoned as
next best to Miss Leitch in this country.
Mss Wethered Is tall and strong and
only 10 years old. Mrs Barlow, II 1t
isn't ungallant to say so, had to give her
n good many years. But she stuck to 1t
wonderfully for long time. There was
very little in It, Mrs. Barlow hanging
on like grim death only hole behind
Miss Wethered, who, however, never let
get away at once. and drawing ahead on
the way home, she polished her adj
versary neatly of at the fourteenth hole.
The first big surprise OF the meeting
came after this, when Mrs. Temple
Dobell of Bromborough. formerly Miss
Gladys Ravenscroft, and who was both
American and British champion in 1918,
was beaten by two holes by n young
Scottish lady, Miss Scroggie. With the
match all square and two to play. Miss
Scroggie finished in 4 and 3. which was
good enough. This match was played
in a most light hearted spirit. and both
partier laughed aloud at any particu-
lar' arnatic incident in their match.
7,s sitch started by losing the first
three holes against Miss Jean McCul-
lough. who Is local champion. The
Scottish lady began we'll and Miss Leitch
putted weakly, but she was soon pulling
holes back again, and Miss Mccullough
hardly looked big enough to stand up
against the champion. Gradually the
holes came back and the match was
squared at the turn. Miss Leitch was
not playing very convincing golf and
she was very uncertain on the greens,
but she could afford to miss some puts
because she was gaining so much from
tho tee. She won in the end comfort
ably, IL not easily, at the seventeenth.
The last American was beaten when
Miss Sara p. Fownts Of Pittsburgh lost
70 Mrs. Cautley by and + to play. Mrs.
Cautley is as long n driver as we have
and she carried rather too many gums"
Once again with the bloc sky shining
on Arran and Ailsa Craig. one cannot
help bitterly regretting that Miss Leitch
and Miss Stirling did not have Just such
q day for their battle.
