DEFENDING CHAMPION AND CHIEF RIVAL, MISS STIRLING
 WIN OUT BY EASY VICTORIES
Miss Cummings Also Comes Through In Opening Play Of The National Women'S Golf Championship

RYE, N. Y, Oct. 2.-(By Associated Press. )-In a gentle breeze that fol- lowed the gales of yesterday and brought the finest sort of golf. the first round of the Womens national championship was played today over the undulating course of the West chester Biltmore Country club. The play resulted in easy victories for Miss Glenna Collett, the defending champion, and Miss AleXa Stirling, her chief rival, and other stars.
 There were but two upsets, the de- feat of Miss Louise Fordyce of Youngstown, the Ohio champion, and of4.Miss K. German of ParkersburG, West Virginias title holder.
 The golf of Miss Collett and Miss Stirling was of the first water. There were few faults noticeable in the game. From the tee, excellent with their irons and up to the standard in their putting they were we'll up on their opponents all the way round.
 Miss Collett defeated Mrs. Fred c. Let's. one of the keenest match players in the tournament, 4 and 5.
 Miss Stirling won and 4 from Miss Marjorie Anabel of Montreal, one of the leading women players of Canada. Miss Cummings won and 4 from Mrs. Quentin Feitner of New York, veteran tournament player.
 Miss Miriam Burns, Kansas City, the western champion. was taken to the eighteenth hole before she de- feated Miss Bernice Wall of Oshkosh, Wis, 1 up.
 Miss Dorothy Campbell Hurd won at the nineteenth hole from Miss Bessie Fenn, Poland Springs, Maine.
 The defeat of Miss Fordyce was the great surprise of the round. She was at the height of her game on the outward journey and made the turn up on Miss Audrey Faust of St. Louis. Her troubles began, however on the tenth when she sliced her tee shot out of bounds, and when they went to the eighteenth tee the match was all even. Miss Fordyce was un- cer the brow of the hill guarding the green in two. Her third went over the green into a sand trap and in re- covery she kicked the ball across the green and down to the bottom of the Hill again. Her fifth was dubbed, the bali rolling about five yarHs. Her sixth made the green and by holing 15-footer she could have halved the hole. as Miss Faust also had taken six to get ten feet from the cup.
 Mrs, Melvin Jones, eliminated west yirginian, Miss German, at the elghh- e nth hole 1 up. Miss Maureen or cutt. the 16-year-old flaxen- haired miss from the White Beechss ctuD' played brilliantly against Mrs. C. B. Vanderbeck of Philadelphia but lost' l down. At the turn Miss Orcutt was 1 down but on the twelfth and thir- teenth she evened the match and be- came 1 up. A badly placed mashie shot on the fifteenth cost her the hole and the best she could do on the re- mafning holes was to halVe.

pose the move on the part Of the

NO EXCUSE FOR BRACE AVE.
DETOUR, MAYOR SAYS

Referring to the condition of outer
Brace avenue, now being used as =
detour by the traffic between this
city and Fords, Metuchen and New
Brunswick, as a disgrace to the city,
Mayor William c. Wilson last night
urged the aldermen to secure bids
for the placing of this detour in pass
able condition if the street depart
ment is not able to take core of this
matter.
"The road now being used as a
detour is in deplorable condition
and is disgrace to the city," the
mayor says. The street is such that
local automobilists are complaining
of the route which must be taken at
a great sacrifice to cars, heavy trucks
have been stuck in the mud along
the road and it is a poor advertise
ment for the city as far as out-of-
town motorists are concerned, the
mayor declares
81 cannot see any reasonable ex-
cuse fro permitting the present con-
dition to exist" the mayor says. add
ing that If the street department
cannot remedy conditions no time
should be lost in having the work
done by a contractor who could
place the road in assab1e condition
during the time it must be used as a
detour. The mayors letter was re-
ferred to the street committee for
action.
