VOL. XV, NO. 18 SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL G, 1912 FIVE CENTS TOURNAMENT OF SURPRISES Women's Play in "United" Champion ship One of Sensational Thrills Mm. JT. It. Price Defeat XMUm Van Oittrand, Victorious Over mi mm Campbell, In Final Round SURELY the Women's event of the "United" Golf Championship goes on record as a tourna ment of surprises, the sensational defeat of Miss Dorothy Campbell, British and Canadian champioD, by Miss Kate Van Ostrand of Watertown, culminating in the final victory of Mrs. J. Raymond Price, the Oakmont champion. In her opening match with Mrs. Frank Hayes of Englewood, the nineteenth green decided it ; an eight and six victory over Mrs. C. S. Waterhouse of New York advancing her to the semi-final which she won, six and four, from Mrs. W. C. Fownes, Jr., her club mate. In the final with Miss Van Ostrand, Mrs. Price was at her best, having the game well in hand from the start, winning the first, third, sixth, eighth and ninth holes and turning home, five up. Miss Van Ostrand reduced the lead on the tenth, halved the eleventh and twelfth, won the thirteenth, halved the fourteenth, but lost the fifteenth and the match, four up and three to play. Miss Van Ostrand's three and two win from Miss Mary Fownes of Oakmont, United winner in 1910, drew immediate attention to her as a favorite; the de fault of Mrs. Raymond Farr of George town, S. C, advancing her to the semi final with Miss Campbell and the most sensational contest in the history of lo cal golf which ended in the spectacular eighteenth where Miss Van Ostrand's raashie approach struck the pin and fell dead, winning for her, four rive. Throughout the match was one of thrills, the steady game of the Canadian giving her a slight advantage which was offset by the brilliant long game of the American. Miss Campbell had trouble on the first hole recording a seven, to four for her opponent, and she did no better than a halved six on the second ; losing the third, five six. On the fourth, the approach shots both made the traps beyond the green. Miss Campbell was out in one, while Miss Van Ostrand took two, only to make a second trap and give up the hole. A pair of sixes halved the fifth, and Miss Campbell evened the score on the sixth, four five. The seventh was Miss Van Ostrand's, six seven, and she maintained the lead to the turn with a halved five on the eighth and a four on the ninth. The tenth, five seven in Miss Campbell's favor, squared matters again, and the eleventh was halved in five. On the twelfth Miss Van Ostrand'3 brassie made the green from which she went down in two, while ber opponent required an extra stroke. six ; Miss Van Ostrand making the trap on her drive. The eighteenth and decis-r ive hole was splendidly played, both just short of the green in three. Miss Van Ostrand's approach, struck the pin and fell dead, and it was merely a question as to how far the ball might have gone or whether she would have halved or lost the hole.
