for Pinehurst Final by De-
feating Miss Cummings.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
PINEHuRsr. N. c.. March 2S-One
never can tell what is going to happen
in golf and no member of the Fownes
family OF Pittsburgh is ever whipped in
match until the official scorer has
set that fact down on the bulletin board
inside the club house.
Nearly everyone here figured that
Miss Edith Cummings of Chicago and
Miss Glenna Collett of Providence would
meet in the final of the North and South
championship tomorrow, but when Miss
Collett steps onto the first tee in the
morning her opponent will be Mrs. M. j.
Scanned of Uniontown, daughter of
H. G. Fownes of Oakmont, and sister of
w G. Fownes. Jr., former national
amateur champion, and captain of the
American international team.
Mrs. Scammell defeated Miss Cum
mings In the most interesting match of
the tournament. the contest ending on
the sixteenth green. with Mrs. Scammell
2 up and l TO play. Miss Cummings had
defeated Miss Sarah Fownes of Oakmont
and a cousin OF Mrs. Scammell yester-
day in the first round. but the Fownes
family had revenge to-day.
Many here consider that Miss Collett
will win the championship, but Mrs.
Scammell has played some very low
rounds on the championship course and
is capable of playing we'll enough to
win. Miss Collett entered the final by
defeating Mrs. C. F. Uebelacker OF
Arcola. 5 and 7. The Providence golfer
was out In 81, which was too fast a
pace for her opponent.
The gallery selected the Miss Cum
mings-Mrs. Scammell match as the
proper one to follow and the judgment
of the mass was correct. They saw
Mrs Scammell come from behind and
win. The ending came when 1t was
most unexpected. Mrs. Scammell led
by 1 up at the seventeenth tee, but
pushed her tee shot to this short hole
into trap.
Lays Fine Iron on Green.
Miss Cummings laid a fine iron shot
on the sand green, then Mrs. Scammell
played brilliant explosion shot from
the bunker, the ball striking the sand
with sufficient spin to hold II. 1t ran
to within eight feet Of the cup. Miss
approach putt by five feet. Mrs. Scam
nell then sank her putt for three and
Miss Cummings missed.
Miss Cummings was 2 up at the tenth.
but lost the eleventh and twelfth, when
shs took three puts on each green. The
thirteenth and fourteenth were halved
and Mrs. Scammell took the lead at the
fifteenth with a fifteen foot putt for a
three. The sixteenth was halved in
fives, and then Mrs. Scammell obtained
the unexpected win at the seventeenth.
