Gavin approached into the trap in front
OF the green and the match came 10 an
end.
Mrs. Gavin's card of something over
80 is proof enough OF how badly she
was off her game in the early part of
the day. Many holes were approx
mated, for the English woman got into
SO much trouble that she had to pick
up repeatedly.
In the morning round Miss Collett
had three skies on the first four holes.
At the fifth she began to work closer
TO par. By the time she had reached
the turn the Providence lass was going
at her best pace. playing against the par
course usually and allowing Mrs. Gavin
to beat herself And this the English
woman proceeded to do most effectively.
Mrs. Gavins only really dismal show
Ing on the first nine holes OF the morn
ing round was at the sixth. where she
dropped her approach into trap ana
came out into another trap. finally
reaching the green on her sixth. Miss
CoIlett was on in three and 1t was not
necessary for her to play more. This
squared the match, Mrs. Gavin having
been In the lead at the second and again
at the fourth.
For the first time Miss Collett went
into the lead when she Clipped up from
the edge of the eighth green and holec
for a par g. Mrs. Garvin here was un-
able to reach the "redan" green.
Five I'm n Row for Girl.
There was no further change TO the
eleventh, but from this stage on to the
sixteenth Miss Collett won five holes.
And but for an iron that hooked slight
iy and skidded into the trap on the
side Of the thirteenth Miss Collett might
have made 1t six straight. On this hole
the Providence girl outhit her opponent
by forty yards. She had the pin well
within reach Of her iron. The shot
seemed to be perfectly hit, but around
the ball came. But for this Miss Col
lett undoubtedly would have won with
a par f. as Mrs. Gavin was short Of
the trap which guards the green on her
second.
On this hole in the semi-hnal Mrs.
Gavin had hit her only bad shot. How
different it was this time. 1t was con-
ceded at the start of the match that
to hold Miss Collett Mrs. Gavin would
have to be hitting the ball with all the
crispness and rover at her command.
Possibly Miss Collett's fine driving and
hitting through the green may have had
a disconcerting psychological effect.
On one or two holes such as the
sixth and tenth Mrs. Gavin had her op-
ponent playing the odd. This. however,
was because of a three quarter top on
the first of these and a hook TO the
rough on the other. When Miss Coliett
did connect perfectly. which was often,
she was we'll ahead. And when against
one of these magnificent tee shots Mrs,
Gavin failed to get the clubhead 10 the
rubber core properly, the hole some
times looked to be won before II was
we'll begun. -,
AS a golf match this Anal was DIS
appointing Some had conceded Mrs.
Gavin a fair chance of winning ana not
many had believed that she would be so
easily defeated. Whatever tang the
match had over the first few holes II
had lost long before the finish OF the
morning round. AnG despite Mrs. ia :
wins afternoon rally all realized that it
was merely a question of waiting for
the end. The champion had been virtu-
al1v crowned before the sun had mounted
to the zenith.
Miss CoIIett Begins Poorly.
Tho morning play opened none too
auspiciously for the American. Miss
Collett hit far and away the better
drive on the first. but her fine brassie
second bounced off the green TO the
right and finished in tlNa trap. With her
first recovery shot Miss Collett hit the
ball to the green. However. the sphere
came back to her down the slope and
settled on the rough OF the bunker. Mrs
Gavin was short in 3 and over in A.
The hole was halved In 6.
Miss Collett's drive at the second was
