MISS RAVENSGROFT
S GOLF TITLE
WN
National Women's Champion
ship Taken by Briton
for Third Time.
MISS HOLLINS ERRATIC
Plucky Game Is Played .by Amer
ican Woman, Who Loses 2-TTp
After Sharp Contest, With
Both .Shining at Times.
WILMINGTON. DeL, Oct. 18. For the
third time in five years the women's
National golf championship has been
won by a player from the British Isles.
On the course of the Wilmington Coun
try Club today Miss Gladys Ravens
croft, of the Bromborough Club (Eng
land), ex-champion of Great Britain,
defeated Miss Marion Holllns, of AVest
brook, L. I., this year's metropolitan
titleholder, two up, after a sharp con
test, in which both played good and
bad golf.
The match was interesting from start
to finish. Both players were nervous
at times, but Miss Ravenscroft was the
steadier. Miss Hollins, feeling the re
sponsibility of trying to keep the
American championship at home, played
a plucky game. She got into frequent
trouble by making bad drives, and
would come up strongly and get into
the game again with shots that won
applause. She, however, could not take
advantage of the bad breaks made by
her English rival. "
Her inability to do this helped her
to lose the championship.
Both Wenk In Putting.
Both M.Iss Holllns and Miss Ravens-
croft were good in their long game, but
were uncertain and at times weak In
their approaching and putting. Not
withstanding the fact that Miss
Ravenscroft at several periods was off
her game, she covered the 18 holes in
86, the best score of the tournament.
Miss Holllns' total score was 91.
The American player opened the
match badly. She had the first hole
practically won, as Miss Ravenscroft
got into a bunker and lost a stroke.
Miss Hollins played her third stroke too
strongly and overshot the cup. and the
Desi sne coma io alter that was to
halve the hole.
Miss Ravenscroft won the second.
three to four, and Miss Holllns squared
the match on the thirdr 6 to 8. The
next three holes were halved and on
the seventh Miss Ravenscroft was one
up. The eighth and ninth were halved
coming in, Miss Holllns squared the
match on the tenth, only to go one
down again on the succeeding hole. The
12th and 13th holes were halved and
Miss Ravenscroft took the 14th. which
made her two up. Miss Holllns took the
15th, 3 to 4, making her one down and
the next two were halved.
Bull Fall In Ditch.
With one chance left Miss Hollins
drove into the brook ditch on her 18th
and took two to get out. On her fourth
she was upon the green and as her
case appeared hopeless she did not play
out the hole. Miss Ravenscroft was
Just short of the brook on her drive
and Itched over in her second so close
ly that she had a chance for a par
three, had she tried to hole out.
'Despite, showers falling Intermittent
ly during the play, the largest gallery
of the week followed the two players.
After Miss Ravenscroft had been felici
tated by Miss Holllns, the gallery
rushed forward and showered congrat
ulations upon the sterling British
player. She had to do much handshak
ing on her way to the clubhouse and
for a long time after s-he reached
there. Miss Muriel Dodd, the present
British and Canadian champion, who
was defeated by Miss Ravenscroft In
the semi-final round on Friday was
one of the most enthusiastic of those
who greeted the new title holder.
The prise, which now goes to England
was held by Miss Margaret Curtis, of
Boston, who won the National title in
1911 and 1912. Miss Curtis entered the
1913 championship, but was defeated in
the first round last Tuesday by Miss
Caroline Painter, of Chicago. Prior to
Miss Curtis' possession, the American
championship was held by Miss Dor
othy Campbell, the former British
champion, who won it In 1909 and
1910.

Vancouver High Has $4000 Athletic
Grounds.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 17. (Spe
cial.) The new athletic field at the
new high school has Just been com
pleted, at a cost of nearly $4000, and
Its appearance is creating much favor
able comment. -
The field is on the high school prop

with street intersections included, at
Twenty-fourth and Main streets, and
contains, a track for racing, 15 feet
wide ami designed for five laps to the

the tennis and handball courts can be
used as a field. Is the baseball diamond.
In front of the concrete bleachers, or
stadium, is a straightaway track, 20
feet wide and more than 400 feet long.
The concrete bleachers are two in
number, each being 50 feet long, and
five rows deep. There is a concrete
wall around the seats, with an entrance
and one exit, so that tickets may be
taken with the greatest ease. Cushions

Leaders Clan B League to

The first two weeks of the Class A
Bowling League, of the rortland Bowl
ing Association, have resulted in some
high averages. Should the season see
an Improvement in any of them, or
should they be maintained, they will
probably set a new mark for bowling
on Portland alleys.
Tom O'Donnell, captain of the J. E.
Kelly team, and Heffron hold the high
mark for six games, with an average
of 200 1-3. Franklin Is next with an
average of 199 1-2.
There are several others well in
keeping with the high marks set by
these leaders. All the way down tne
columns it appears that the teams havo
been well selected, for the averages
are well above tha limit which ciusscs

The opponents who will meet them
In the local exhibition matches havu
not been selected. 'The golfers would
like to see H. B. Davis and Chandler
Egan, the latter several times cham
pion of the United States, oppose them.
Jlr. Egan is living on his farm near
Medford and if conditions permit hu
will come here probably. He has not
played much during the Summer and
is somewhat out of form.
Mr. Davis has been playing wonder
fully consistent golf during the past
Summer. Both men are admittedly
star golfers and an exhibition match
against the cracks from England
would give the Portland followers a,
chance to see Just how great they are.
The Oregon golfers will have every
opportunity to make a good Bhowing
against the cross-pond stars. The
Waverly Links are not too sporty and
give the average player a better chance
to make good against a star. They
are in excellent condition.
Both men have been playing almost
every day on the Brooklyne links and
are said to be in the best of form.
Kay's drive is a treat for golfing
eyes. Throwing all the power of
arms, body and legs Into his tee shot,
he seems to have wonderful control
over the ball.
The drive is not the only wonderful
shot in the Ray bag. He uses his
nlbllc where the average man uses
his mashle. A 150-yard niblic shot is
not unusual for him. His play delights
spectators.
