Leads All the Way
Miss Dunn was never down in her
match with Miss Abbott today, fin
ishing the first nine l up, winning
two and the nine holes, losing one
at the eighth, and halying six. Her
medal score was ~. against 43 for
Miss Abbott. Miss Dunn went two
up on the tenth hole, lost the
eleventh, and then lost three con-
secutiye opportunities to win the
next three holes by missing short
puts.
She finally won the sixteenth hole
when Miss Abbott took four puts
from the edge of the green. Play
ing the seventeenth hole in par after
the match was dorrnie, Miss Dunn
made the victory more decisive, WIN
ming that hole.
Miss Abbott took three puts on
the second green, made a beautiful
shot onto the seventh green after
being in trouble, passed an oppor-
tunity to win the eighth when she
Clipped short and nearly holed out
an approach shot which would have
squared the match.
Putting Weakens
In making an eight on the seventh
hole, Miss Dunn sent her drive into
the rough. Her putting, which gen.
orally was good all through the first
nine, was weakened on the second
nine or the match would have been
over sooner. Their cards.,

Miss White started like house
afire in her match with Mrs. Abbott,
winning the first three holes, the
first with a five-foot putt for a
birdie three. She lost the fourth
hole when she missed a tWo-foot
putt, and took six on the short par
3 sixth hole, when she got into a
trap. She lost the ninth hole when
she drove into the trees. Mrs. Alb
bott won three holes of the first nine
because she was able to send her
approach shots close enough to the
pin to require only or1e putt to get
down.
Square on Seventeenth
Leaving the tenth tee one down,
Mrs. Abbott halved the next three
holes, and then won the thirteenth
hole when Miss White went over the
green after driving into the rough.
Bad putting cost Miss White the
fifteenth hole.
The match was squared on the
seventeenth green, when Miss White
fired straight down the fairway and
got down In a par five.
She won the eighteenth hole and
the match by sending her tee shot
to the green, and approach-put-
ting up to within three inches Of
the cup. Mrs. Abbott was wide of
the green on her tee shot, slipped
up on her approach and then missed
long putt for a half by inches.
