YANKEE GIRL LOSES
 10 BRITISH EXPERT
Miss Wethered Eliminated Miss Collett Four Up, Three to Play

Troon, Scotland, May 2o.-(AP)-- Miss Glenna Collett. youthful Amer lcan golf star, was eliminated from the British ladies' open tournament today by the champion, Miss Joyce Wethered.
 The final score was four up and three to play.
 The British champion played in- vincible golf, turning in even 4s for the fifteen holes and setting her American opponent q superb stand ard which made every one of the 1 latter's errors fatal.
 Miss Collett lost the match in q series of slips on the ninth, tenth and eleventh holes. After Icing all square at the eighth she topped her drive at the ninth, sliced her drive and topped a maShie shot on the tenth, and was caught in bunker fronting the eleventh hole.
 Miss Collett's first chance 10 win back one of the lost holes came at the short Of lT5-yard fourteenth. Both players placed their tee shots within eight feet of the cup. Miss Wethercd missed her put, giving Miss Col1ett an opportunity to slnl, hers and win with a birdie 2.
 Miss CoHatt. however, not only missed but ovcrran the cup by twelve inches. She failed 10 sink even this tiny putt, and the cham pion took the hole with a 3, making her dormie 1.
 Professional golf critics here who have seen Miss Wethered's impor- tant matches since she became q notable figure in golf. expressed the opinion that she played better golf today that she ever played, There was not a single error in the entire l5 holes on her part, and only two strokes that could have brought the slightest disappointment to even her most ardent admirers or partisan supporters. On two greens, the fourth and the eighth, she took three butts. but otherwise her play from start to finish was perfection itself.
 Miss Wethered played par golf or better on every hole except the fourth, of 450 yards, and the eighth, Of 120 yards. Nevertheless, t would not have been too hot pace for Miss Collett had made the same figures on the homeward tourney that she got yesterday. There was strain and tenseness in the match.
 It was played in calm. muggy, humid weather with q large and not Very well behaved or thoughtful gal lcry raging all over the fairways, despite the efforts Of a large corps Of nagmcn. Observers felt from th" start that these conditions must tel on somebody and if was Miss Col lett who cracked under the strain.
