Four down at the turn, Mrs.
Cheney played smooth golf on the
way home, whereas her opponent
blew up and overstruck virtually
every hole.
Scotch Girl Steady
Miss Orcutt's elimination by
Miss Hamilton. a Scottish lassie,
who has played most of her golf
in England, was complete sur
prise. She was too steady for
Maureen, who never found her
touch on the green's and always
was too shaky with her second
shots.
Miss Hicks defeat was due
mainly to the superlative iron play
of Miss Park, a member of the
British team which went down to
defeat before the American aggre-
cation at Wentworth recently.
The American girls approach
shots were her great weakness.
Moreover, despite her reputation
as hard hitter, she seldom out
drove her simmer opponent. Miss
Park was inside on the green
with her approaches at every
hole.
Mrs. Cheney Heroine
Mrs. Cheney was the heroine
of the American team, which
ended the days play with only
three survivors.
Mrs. Coats was unable to win
more than one hole-the eleventh
from Mrs. Ware, who shot par
golf throughout. She went out
in 38. leading 7 up at the turn,
but polished off her opponent
mercifully. conceding her a six
yard putt for a half and winning,
and 6.
