appearance in this tourney had
been only one over par.
= Miss Murray, IL Over Par.
Today, Mae. the daughter of a
Rutland pro. was a staggering IL
over par for the 33 holes played.
Polly, on the other hand, me-
thodically ground to a seven-over-
par for the distance.
The best Miss Riley ever did
previously in the tourney was
reach the 1948 finals, losing to
Dot Kielty.
Mae still had a chance after q
holes when she trailed by three
holes. But miserable luck with
her putter. including four taps
from eight to IL feet which Tipped
the cup on the last 18, cooked her
goose.
Dying Bid On 31st.
Polly won the 28th and 29th to
go five up, and Miss Murray made
her dying bid on the 31st, sinking
an eight footer for a winning par
three. They halved the next two
holes with fives, ending the
match on the 33rd.
After trailing by three holes in
the morning 18, the closest Miss
Murray could get was two behind
her efficient opponent. That came
on the 23rd and oath holes which
Miss Murray won with par foui
and birdie three, respectively.
