 The story of the match for Mrs. Geismer is one of the continual trog- ble She made a seven on No. afteE shooting out of hounds, she was fefe over par on two, on No. 3. she played steady five to win, squaring. the match. On No. she laid Mrs. Mayer a stymie to win and go on up. On the short No. both players were all about the green in the traps but Mrs. Geismer managed to win with a five. On No. 6 Mrs. Geismier drove into trap and Miss Mayer out of bounds again. They had trouble getting on sthe fairway but Miss Mayer finally won thes hole. Mrs. { Geismer was her regular self on 607- yard seven getting on in three and holing out in two for win, Miss Mayer played around a stymie to win No. 9 in four when Mrs. Geisner took four shots on the green. They turned with Mrs. Geismer two up.
 Match Is Squared
 They halved ten in sizes Miss Mayer having trouble on the green, Mrs. Geis- mer finding it hard to get to the green. Mrs. Geismer went into the rough at Il, and Miss Mayer won with a par four. They halved the 368-yard twelfth after taking three each to get on. Miss Mayer squared the match on mid get IS with beauty putt for a par three after Mrs. Geismer had topped her drive.

Then on eighteen, after Mrs. Geismer missed long putt, Miss Mayer holed twelve footer for a three to win.
 Mrs. Leihold, playing in the cham pionship consultations, won at the twen- ty-third hole one of the most remark able matches in the history of the tournament. Mrs. Frank Dooley of Memphis was the loser and observers say that this is the only time on re- cord in the southern that five extra holes have been played in a match. They turned with Mrs. Dooley two up, in 43, and Mrs. Leibold with 45, com ing in, Mrs. Dooley maintained her advantage up to the seventeen hole, each shooting B for the seven. At seventeen, Mrs. Leihold shot a pretty par four to win and on eighteen squared the match when Mrs. Dooley was wide with her second, Mrs. Lei bold making four. Going to the extra holes they halved one and two in lives, three and four in sizes, both having enough trouble on short and pesky No. to cause them all but drop dead after their hard round. Ms. Liebold kept her nerve, however, and played the short fifth hole perfectly with d tee shot to the green; a Iayup for a par three to win the hole and amtch as Mrs. Dooley took two to get on.
