women's national golf championship,
now progressing over the Greenbrier
links, to-day was swept clean of
it's metropolitan representatives, and
two remaining, one does not have to

large that by the end of the third
round tomorrow only one contestant
will be left to carry on for New York.
That there will be one and only one

not be controverted. inasmuch as the
two survivors. Mrs. III. Arnold Jackson

Mrs. Quentin Feitner of South Shore.

ton.
In the top half there were two Metro

Miss Glenna Collett of Providence by
5 and 8. while Mrs. Toergc, after gall
liant fight lost the sixteenth and seven
teenth and fell by that margin to Mrs.
r. G. Let's. Jr., of Onwentsia, the clever
little star who last year at Hollywood
caused the sensation of the champion
ship by eliminating Miss Cecil Leitch of
England.
The former British champion, Incl
dentally, has been an interested spec

To return TO the two Metropolitan

consecutive day eliminated a former

From this II is seen that IL has been
the fortune or misfortune of Mrs. Jack
son to engage players from her own dis
trict in successive rounds. To survive

tournament she had to .all up GIL OF he-

Mrs. jackson played right on top OF
par on these last four holes. She Just
had to do IL. for in the previous thir-
teen she had been able to defeat her
opponent only once. And at that par
ticular hole. the fifth. IL was a biriie
that caused Mrs. Heckscher to relin-
quish the honor which had been hers
throughout by virtue Of success at the
fret and fourth.
But on that fifth, $40 yards and
slightly upgrade on the drive, Mrs. Jack
son laid her second shot stone dead. The
last four holes outgoing being halved,
Mrs. Heckscher turned for home 1 up.
At the eleventh, where her opponent
was in trouble. tho Piping Rock woman
added one more. TO make her lead two
holes. Then Mrs. Heckscher trapped ner
tee shot at the fourteenth. The stroke
lost through this mistake cost her The
hole. At the next, 100 yards over the
stream, Mrs. Hcckscher was short. She
made a fine long run up. but failing to
get down In two puts she lost to Mrs.

IL did appear at this stage as il Mrs.
Heckscher became just a trifle unnerved.
Mrs. jackson hit long tee shot over

Heckscher topped into the water and.
dropping on the bank, played still an
other ball into the hazard. She gave up

Mrs. Feftner Raises Hopes.
The continued fine golf OF Mrs. Felt
ner cas- raised high hopes that in this
tour narnent the many times winner OF
the Metropolitan championship may at
asst have discovered the field where
glory awaits her. Against Mrs. Hurd.
who at one time was champion not only
of America but Of Great Britain and
Canada as well. Mrs Feitner gave an
even more polished exhibition than she
had done In the match OF the previous
day In which she had dethroned the
title holder. Miss Marion Hollins.
Mrs. Feitner's magnificent driving
gave her very decided advantage
against Mrs. Hurd who, II seemed. was
unable to restrain q very natural desire
TO press.
Mrs. Feitner found as she approached
the first green that she had left her put
ter behind at tho clubhouse. Fortu-
nateiy the South Shore star did not have
any call for such a club at the first hole,
where she Clipped dead and won easily.
BY the time shc had reached the second
green, where IL was necessary TO putt,
thc~caddie was back with the missing
club. Then Mrs. Feitner ran her ball
dead from the corner OF the green and
promptly became 2 up. Mrs. Hurd was
unfortunate TO overrun the green on q
fino brassie shot. She missed her hrst
recovery attempt, but with the next she
laid the ball close.
Mrs. Teitner lost the fourth hole,
where on putting for a 4. she overran
and missed coming back. This was
practically the only mistake which ihey
New York entrant made on the green5
all through the round.
Mrs. Hurd really did deserve 20 win
tho fourth hole. for while shc was un-
fortunate In having splendid drive stop
for a hanging lie on the side OF a mound,
A topped stroke by Mrs. Feitner came
out clear on the fairway.
On the afth green Mrs. Feitner left
herself Ave feet short on the runup AM
then proceeded to sink the putt to win
the hole with 4. Mrs. Hurd had been
