Most Of the woman golfers Of the
city watched the amazing eth bition of
long hitting which. Maurse1 Orcut.,
North and South champicp, showed in
several matches here over tie past week
end. Men and women alike were
astounded at the power which the
sturdy New Jersey girl puts into her
tee shots. She Is as long from the tee
as most of the better male players,
getting a tremendous carry with a
well grooved swing, in which the main
action comes from pair of powerful
wrists, hitting through the ball with a
flick reminiscent of that of Tommy Ar
mour, and the same roll of the hips
that gives Bob Jones such great power.
Miss Orcutt has mastered the long shots
of the game. but the golf she showed
here revealed q weakness that may
have resulted from constant play at
Pinehurst, where high pitch shot is
not needed at all. Miss OrcLtt pre-
ferred to play low pitch shots and
pitch-and-run shots rather than the
high lofted shots which are the stand
bys of the better players among the
men. Perhaps her lack of practice

play at Pinehurst to sand greens stop
ped her from playing the shots while
here. But the fact is that she did
not attempt to play many of them, and
those she did try did not come of.
