f'-MlSS DofOlhy campbell
 liurd, Philadelphia. won her
 way into the sixth round of the
 British Women's Golf champion
 ship by defeating Miss Doris
 thambacS. former British
 champion, up and to play.
 Hlnstanton, Eng, May IS tP - Inability to cope with English spring weather at it's worst and the steadi- ness of Mabel Wragg, determined little Yorkshire woman, today re- moved Glenna Collett from the British golf championship in the fourth round. The America girls ambition to take the trophy to the United States for the first time was shattered when she lost up and , to play in match in which she never was on her game.
 Great Upset
 Miss Collects defeat, one of the greatest upsets of British golf, was due in part to the weather condi- tions which included hail, rain and a cold gale, but it is only fair to say that the English girl adjusted her game to the prevailing condi- tions better than the American play CT.
 The American challenger migh, have woathered the storm and won If she had been able to sink some of her puts early in the match. But her hands were numb with cold, the butter grip wet and slippery and her putting on the outward holes con- tributed to her later defeat.
 The storm also swept Miss Eliz- abeth Curtis, Clinton, Iowa, and Mrs. Stewart Hanley. Detroit. out ol the championship. leaving Miss Dor othy Campbell Hurd, of Philadelphia but born in Britain, as the lone American challenger.
 Loses On 16th Green
 Miss Collett's defeat came on the lGth green where she so decisively knocked out Mrs. Temple Dobell yesterday. After being three down at the 1lth the American had stead jed to win the 12th and halve three holes running. Hope ran high among her friends that she would yet pull herself together and climb out of the hole she had dug for her self. Then to their dismay she stood on the 18th tee. high on a ridge fac SiH1, ha l, wind swept, took a wood club for the shot 10 the green 155 yards away. and half smothered her ball. Miss Wragg seized the unexpected opportunity. She laid a perfect shot six yards to the left of the pin. After that only a golting miracle could save Glenna and she was not per forming miracles today. She sent a mashie niblick to the green and put ted past the hole. Miss Wragg laid her approach putt dead and Glenna ran across the green with both hand outstretched in congratula- ton.
 The American seemed to welcome AllI ttIltI II oIil tllc dSpliS ol pldS ing under such conditions. The little gallery which had struggled through the storm with the players applauded as much for Miss Col lett, who did not know that golf could be played in such weather and never before had attempted it. as for the English girl Who had beaten the girl picked to win tho title.
 Weep Over Defeat
 Miss Collects mother was the first to greet her as she stepped off the green. Miss Curtis and the other Americans actually wept over the defeat of their star. Glenna's eyes dinmed too. but with dissatisfaction at her unsuccessful attempts to con- trol the ball rather than at losing her chance at the championship.
 Rotten Golf"
 When told that she had put up a plucky fight under the most trying conditions. she replied:
 Hike fun, did. I never played such rotten golf in my life."
