On the Homeward Half.
Starting the nomeward half OF the
course Miss conroy's game took a slump,
with the result that she lost three in a
row. Such an advantage coming at such
q critical stage made X appear certain
10 the gallery that Mrs. Jackson was to
qualify for the semi-hnal. With only
Ave holes left to play, the former ma
tlonal champion still was up.
There is an old superstition that the
golfer who Is UP and s to play has
something other than victory coming to
him or her. Mrs jackson, however was
beyond the stage where the superstitious
bad cause to worry for her safety. She
was up with only TO play wanted
only three halves In these holes to win
the match.
At the fourteenth Miss Conroy sank q
nice putt TO cut her opponents lead TO
up. Still up with TO play takes
some beating. However. 40 the short
fifteenth Nfiss Conroy won another hole
back. leaving Mrs. Jackson with only
OF her lead both had been bunkered
here, but with an eighteen foot putt the
Fox Hills girl claimed the hole IN a
par 3.
In the heat OF that sweltering day the
faithful gallery again had caught the
scent or battle, but the match was con-
s,dered TO be as good az over when play
ing the long sixteenth Miss Conroy lost
shot by getting into the mounds at
The left OF the green. while with the like
Mrs. jackson laid long putt Of twenty
i've or thirty feet stone dead. That
settled H. Mrs Jackson was dorfnie 9.
sliced drive gave Mrs. jackson
something to worry about at the seven
teenth. A hsfty iron shot sent her
ball back onto the fairway. and as
this seventeenth is three to the green
for woman, little was lost by the
slice. 1t was the approach shot that
made all the difference. for while Mrs.
Jackson reached a bunker to the right
OF the green. Miss Conroy laid her ball
stone dead on a long mashie shot.
Last Tee BADLY Placed.
While many OF the short tees are
BEING used this week. the eighteenth
hoe IL an exception. Unfortunately
this Is Just where the women ought to
be given the benefit of the forward
tee, for as the hole now stands the
LONG driver is forced to sacrifice her
distance and TO play short OF tho bunker
with her second shot just like the
player gifted with only average hitting
ability.
Although driving nice ball. Miss
Conroy could not take chance. oven
n she had rsen on the fairway. She
was In tho rough, but she placed her
ball nicely and then had TO trust to
beating Mrs. Jackson on the short
game.
When the puts came to be made II
was found that while Miss Conroy was
thirty feet beyond the pin. Mrs Jack
son was hole high. fifteen feet away.
Miss Conroy gave the ball a chance. but
failed 20 hole. and when Mrs. jackson
leid her sphere UP within about eigh-
be all over but the shouting. Instead
OF surrendering then and there the Fox
Hills girl stepped up and sank n fine
five foot putt. IL did not seem possible Q
that Mrs. Jackson could miss her putt,
but this Is exactly what happened. and
II became necessary to play an extra
hole.
While driving may not bs everything
IN golf. Il sometimes Is a great part OF
the battle. In this particular match II
WAS everything. for, while Miss Conroy
placed her ball down the centre OF the
fairway. Mrs Jackson found trap.
The ball lay cleaniy. but with her nrst
attempt Mira jackson hit the bank and
she had 70 play n second from the sand.
This time she was successful, but before
Miss conroy found II necessary TO lift
her club for her approach Mrs. Jackson
had played four
Miss Conroy hit the mounds on her
approach, but she laid her third close.
ard after playing five and being stil
wide OF the cup Mrs. Jackson congratu-
lated her oonaueror.
