The latter match promises to be the best of the bunch and a close result is looked for. The Portland Golf club four-man jteam defeated the Waverley quartet jin the finals of the Davis cup com- petition by two up, yesterday after- jRoon. Play was far below the stand- jard expected and the large galleries |which followed the two matches had [little to enthuse over. Kay and Wat- son far outshone their teammates, Wilhelm and Griswold, at every stage of the play. | FIVE SEATTLE WOMEN QUALIFY The qualifying round for the wom- en's championship was played yester- day afternoon and five Seattle play- ers qualified In the select 16. Mrs. F. Jackson, 95; Mrs. H. G. Hotchkiss, 100; Mrs. E. Wheeler, 103; Mrs. H. B. Young, 103, and Mrs. D. H. Moss, 105, are the representatives. The two players who are given the best chance to cop the title tied for medal- ist honors when Mrs. V. G, Hutch- ings, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. 8, C. |Sweeney, of Vancouver, the 1920 |ehampion, each scored a round of 89, Miss Doreen Kavanaugh, the California state champion, had a 95, the same score as Mrs. Jackson, the Barlington crack. The women found the Colwood course a hard one to score on, Besides having four water hazards, it is severely trapped, on many holes long carries are re- quired to avoid trouble from the tee. Miss Maud Kegley, one of Califor nia’s leading players, found so much trouble that she became disgusted ‘and dropped out of the competition.
