was not reached until with her third
Miss Stirling laid her bali on the seven
tclnIA green. This is o 475-yard hole.
ASA 0avin's third was short and in the
rough. She was further away on her
fourth than Miss Stirling was on her
third. The latter won the hole with
something to spare. The story of the
eighteenth has already been told.
Summing up, 1. was hard match for
Miss Stirling to lose. But, had Mrs.
Gavin been defeated after her fine work
the blow would have been equally cruel.
Nevertheless, the tragedy of that sty-
nie rankles. There is no denying that
cften the stymie is a delightful shot.
When 1t settles a match as 1t did to-day
ths most rabid defender would be hard
put to it to stifle the dictates of his
conscience.
Over the first nine holes the play was
always interesting. Miss Stirling laid
half stymie to win the first, coming
from the back of the green. But at the
second she topped her second and then
took three puts. At the third Miss
Stirling sank a thirty foot putt The
fourth was halved in a poor six, Miss
Stirling being twice in the rough and
Mrs. Gavin in the mounds. Mrs. Gavin
missed putt of less than a yard on the
fifth after outplaying Miss Stirling, and
three puts cost Miss Stirling the sixth.
The seventh went to Mrs. Gavin and
at the ninth Miss Stirling was on in two
400 yards-with drive and iron, and
squared the match with four.

Mrs. Feitner was playing finely going to
the ninth and here she should have won

seventh. Mrs. Feitner was within reach
OF the green with an iron.- Failing to
get hold of the ball. she had to play
her third from the rough. And this

Jackson was in the rough from the tee
