some and three singles matches, and
one foursome ended in draw.

with smashing 7-and-5 conquest of
the veteran Mrs. Opal Hill of Kansas
City. The team score now stood
! Great Britain, 312; United States, 2l5

N. j.. defeated young Pam Barton,
l934-35 runner-up in the British
championships, l up.

Gables, Fla, conquered Mrs. J. B.

The United States and Great Brit
tition for the Curtis Cup all square,
each side winning one match and the
other being tied.
After Wanda Morgan, the British
champion, and Mrs. Marjorie Ross
! Garon had won the last hole to tie
Mrs. Glenna Collect Ware, Philadel-
phia, and Patty Berg, Minneapolis,

The cup series was inaugurated four
years ago at Wentworth, where the
Americans triumphed, 51a to 31a. In
1884, at Washington, D. c., Uncle
Sans players successfully defended
it by the lopsided score of 612 to 212.
Tie Blasts U. S. Hopes.
The biggest blow to American hopes
of retaining the cup occurred this
morning. when the highly favored
combination of Mrs. Glenna Collett
Ware. American champion and team
captain, and, her youthful partner,
Patty Berg Of Minneapolis. were held
to a tie by Wanda MI0rgan, British
champion, and Mrs. Marjorie Ross
Garop.

players stroking the ball alternately,
Mrs. Manreen circuit Crews of Coral
Gables. Fla, and Mrs. Cheney defeat

2 and /, while Miss Anderson and
Mrs. Helen Holm, 1884 British title
holder. vanquished Mrs. Opal Hill of
Kansas City and Charlotte Glutting
of South Orange, N. J. and 2.
The American victors in the singles
were Mrs. Crews, Miss Glutting and
Mrs. Ware. The losers among the
foreign contingent, in addition to Mrs.
Cheney. were Mrs. Hill and Miss Berg.
Mrs. Ware Wins, 3 and 2.
Mrs. Ware defeated Miss Morgan, 3
and 2; Mrs. Crews nosed out Mrs.
Walker, up, and Miss Cutting
triumphed over Miss Barton by the
same score. Mrs. Hill bowed to Mrs.
Garon. z and S, and Mrs. Holna
trounced Miss Berg, and 3.
Miss Anderson was showered with
kisses by her teammates after her long
putt on the home hole disappeared
into the cup. The Americans, while
naturally disappointed. gave Mrs.
Cheney, who is about twice Miss
Anderson's age, an almost equal ova-
ton for her plucky fight after losing
two of the first three holes of the
| match.
