Careless at Start
Mss Collects short gas was some

i. eventually she frightened up in this
pspect And when she began playing
self from tee to green-as she did on
he incoming nine-there was nothing
n the contest but a lalrade. In jus
tie to Mrs. Gavin, it must be stated
hat she was not playing up to her
ssuaI game or as we'll as she has played
sjn her previous matches here.
Undoubtedly, her opponents long
irving was disconcerting. There is
10 Joy in having to play the odd all
shem time. And Mrs. Gavin had to do
exactly that OH virtually every shot.
Experienced as she is in tournament
plsy and despite her keen resourceful-
ness, the Englishwoman eventually got
10 pressing in hard trying to hold her
cwn. She probably tried hard not to
do so. But when you see your oppo-
nent yards ahead of you constantly
The temptation to press is generally too
strong. AS the match progressed Mrs.
Gavin could not refrain from hurry

she overswings in coming back she
must always time the stroke perfectly

Yesterday, playing against Mrs. Jack

perfect and she was scoring exceed

settled down to steady-going albeit
brilliant game after the turn in the
morning, there was little doubt as to
the result of this struggle.
Miss Collett started badly and play

shots with the wood.
Mrs. Gavin struggled to get home in

from distance of thirty yards.

But, turning home, it was different
story entirely. From there on Miss
Soiiett not only continued to drive
well, but she was ramming her iron
shots right to the pin and PLAYING a
bsautlful short game. Then Mrs.
Gavln relinquished her own game and
proceeded to attempt to rival the hard
hitting Providence girl. In SO doing
she e, made a fatal mistake.
