dian Opponent After Chap
ter Of Accidents.

Special Despatch 10 THE New York HEnALp
PIs,EHuRsr. n. c., March 2s.-"That
was the hardest match l have played In
many year" was Mrs. Dorothy Camp
bell Hurd's answer to the rush OF con-
gratulations and questions that over
whelmed her at Pinehurst to-day at the
end of the great second round match In
the North and South tournament be-
tween the former national champion and
Mrs. Hope Gibson of the Hamilton
Golf Club.
Mrs. Hurd won by up on the seven-
teenth green, but it was anybody $
match up to the moment IL ended.
The finish was a dramatic one. One
up. on the seventeenth tee. Mrs. Hurd
sliced her drive into the woods and Mrs.
Gibson reciprocated by driving into a
bad spot in a trap bordering the green.
Two or three minutes elapsed before
Mrs. Hurds ball was located. 1t was
finally found deeply imbeded in bees
nest wedged In among the roots of a
tree. Her first attempt to get it out
removed the ball from its new home, but
left 1t in lie which could only be got
at left handed. Mrs. Hurd played the
shot with her right arm around the trunk
of the tree to steady her and managed
to extricate the ball, although she could
not play II in the direction of The green.
Her fourth shot was a brilliant recov-
cry to within four feet of the pin, leav-
ing her an easy putt for n 5.
Mrs. Gibson wrs waiting in the trap
all this time and the longer she studied
the lie Of her ball the worse 1t looked to
her. With two shots TO spare to reach
the vicinity of the cup for win. she
played her ball into better position and
then shot II across the green into a trap

to get out and ON. and she missed a long
putt for q g. which at best could only
havo halved the hole even in the event
OF Mrs Hurd's missing her own shot for
the cup.
The match. staged on the champion
ship course was a great one from start
to finish, as Is well known by the fact
that Mrs. Hurd went around In 41-42,
SO, and Mrs. Gibson In 40-4s s6, in
cluding her losing on the short seven
teenth and some careless playing on the
bye hole.
