NdydtlJ ts. I.b sept. o.--hllSS hdTy K. Browne, Pacific coast tennis star who is playing national golf for the first time furnished a great surprise today by defeating Miss Glenna Col lett of Providence, former champion and favorite to repeat. The match went to the 18th hole.
 The masterful shots in the pinch gave the former tennis champion the victory. One down playing the 18th she put a spoon shot of 175 yards through two trees to within five feet of the pin thereby winning the hole. At the extra hole, Miss Browne sank putt of IS feet, her ball caroming off Miss Collects into the cup after Miss Collett had just missed putt two feet longer.
 In the final round tomorrow Miss Browne will meet Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd of Philadelphia who in the other semi-final match to- day defeated Mrs. c. H. Vanderbeck of Philadelphia ? and 1.
 The competitive spirit had car- ried Miss Browns through to the semi-fnal round despite what she says is her inferior knowledge of golf. and it was this spirit which enabled her to triumph today against the young player of the home club, whose technique had been rated by experts as unsur- passed. Miss Collett won the quail flying round with 79, the first time a woman had broken 80 in the tournament, while Miss Browne took 96. . ....
 Miss Collett went out in 40 to- day, two less than Miss Browne, but was only one hole ahead. Miss Browne squared the match at the 18th hole, seeing her chance when Miss Collett took three butts. Miss Collett went into the lead again at the 14th when Miss Browne had trouble approaching plateau green.
 On the 18th Miss Browne had a break. A wild slice from the tee started out of rounds, hit a mem- Der of the gallery and came back. with. the result that she got a five. while Miss ColIett, in trouble with traps, gave Miss Browne the hole. They halved the 18th and Miss Col lett went into the lead again by putting her tee shot dead to the pin at the short 17th while Miss Browne over-shot.
 Then came the big sensation, A slice from the tee left Miss Browne in the rough styn1ied by trees. Miss Collett failed to get near the green on her second shot and Miss Browne saw her chance and took it. The spoon club, which had not worked for her very well. was brought into play. Through the trees, parting the leaves with loud snip, went her ball, stopping near enough for a three if necessary. It was a carry of 160 yards and IS more yards up hill roll. On her fourth shot Miss Collett was still away and failed to sink her fifth. Miss Browne almost went down in four, and the winning five came easy.
 The 18th hole saw a masterful winning putt. Each had 225-yard drives down the fairway, and each hooked her second into trap. Each got on the green from the sand in three, and Miss Collett was far ther away from the pin. Her putt just missed. Miss Browne sunk hers, Is feet long on slight side hill, her ball sliding off Miss Col let's Into the hole.
 The medal for the round was SS for Miss Collett to S9 for Miss Browne. and on the extra hole Miss Browne took four to Miss Collett's five. Miss Browne's long shots from the tee were usually equal to her and sometimes longer.
