Defeats Maxwell r. Marston,
Former New Jersey Cham

MISS CUMMINGS MAKES 81
BY KERR N. PETRIE.

Judging by the result of the con-
test decided yesterday on the links Of
the Garden City Golf Club good male
golfer is toying with his reputation and
counting disaster when he starts out for
a round allowing one of the stars Of the
opposite sex the handicap known to
the game as six bisques. A year ago
Jim Barnes of Pelham, then the ma
tional open champion, had to break
his course record to give Miss Cecil
finish ahead. Certain amateur stars
of prominence had the temerity to try
it in the Garden City match mentioned
above, and it is a fact that but for
some excellent playing orr the part of
a few of their leading men they would
have had to surrender the laurels to
their fair opponents.
On matches lost and won the count
favored the men by 4 to 3. However,
as Frank W. Dyer of Upper Montclair
failed to report the female of the spe
o'es counted one point on default,
making the tally all. 1t was not
known whether Dyer had taken to heart
the defeat of his team In the Lesley cup
matches. whether he did not like the idea
c; having to defeat woman or whether
lie had just plain forgot. In any case
Dyer's failure to report left Mrs. Doro-
thy Campbell Hurd without a match
and at moment of her career when she
was all primed by success in the Berth
ellyn cup tournament.
MAXWELL r Marston of Marion for
nier New Jersey champion. who was
primarily resonsible for the match had
an experience which he is not likely
soon TO forget for despite the fact that
he was around in the fine score of "a he
lad to admit a one hole defeat at the
hands of Miss Edith Cummings of On
wentsia. Marston cannot be blamed for
thinking that he had the match as good
as won when he stood l up with 5 to
play and with no more bisques to give.
But on these last five holes Miss Cum
mngs actually beat Marston on even
terms. winning two holes and finishing
the round ! up.
Miss Cummings Makes 81.
1t was found that Miss Cummings
had played these last nine holes In 40.
Moreover. she was out in Al with
on the short second where the par Is
and three puts on the eighth.
Far from being disappointed at this
urtoward turn of affairs. Marston has
decided that the battle of the sexes is
golfing treat that warrants a perma-
nent place on the years calendar.
Therefore 1t has alreadys been arranged
that it will be played again next year
at Merton and, as this year immediately
following the annual Lesley cup
matches
Another match with a whirlwind fin
ish was that In which John G. Ander-
son lost to Mrs. III. Arnold Jackson OF
Greenwich, twice former national cham
pion. and one OF the semi-finalists in
this years meeting at White Sulphur.
In this set-to the female of the species
proved the more deadly on the last
green.
As Miss Glenna Collett, the NATIONAL
women's champion, was little late I'm
arriving and as Jesse Sweetser of ST.
wanoy, the mems national titleholder
had an engagement for match at
Wykagyl in the afternoon, the latter was
sent away with Miss Alexa Stirling of
Atlanta. Sweetser started to play bril-
liantly, and although Miss Stirling was
going for an SO she was beaten, bisques
and all, by 4 and 2.
Sweetser was out in 36. AS he was
ohN''uo W Ect away 10 WESTMINSTER
he did not complete the round. Had he
done so, however. he would have had
something close TO even fours for the
entire eighteen holes.
Miss Collett played against Rude
knepper of Princeton and lost by and
] despite an SO. In fourth place were
Gardiner w. White and Mrs. Quentin
Feitner. The former won by 4 and 2
Miss Marion Hollins used her clubs
and her bisques to such advantage that
she had Reginald NJ. Lewis down most
OF the way. but in the long run the
Greenwich star came through and won
by UP and 1\to play.
In the last two matches of all Mrs
Ronald III. Barlow won 2 and | from
Grant "A. Peacock. while Mrs G.. M.
Heckscher Of Piping Rock finished all
even with James d. Standisb. Jr. of
Detroit.
