ar ewe sf ’ WOMEN’ ALEXA STIRLING MEETS S 6 MRS. WCKSON FOR TITLE Ex-Champion Players Clash Over 36-Hole Course at Morris County. “By William Abbott. LEXA STIRLING and Mrs. H. A. Jackson in the 36-hole finals to-day will seek the Metropolitan golf title defaulted by Mrs. W. A. Gavin, who is absent in England. Miss Stirling and Mrs. Jack- son survived a formidable field that started in the “Met” tournament at the Morris County Club so easily that their contests were hardly moro than practicing jaunts. They were the class of the meet and rightfully fo. Miss Stirling on three different occasions captured national honors, while Mrs. Jackson lifted the pre- mier title twice. In addition Miss Stirling won many sectional trophies, but not untl! changing her address from Atlanta to New York could she take a shot at metropolitan laurels. Now it wil! take a very large upset to prevent the former Southern girl from add- ing the “Mct’’ title to her long col- lection, Mrs. Jackson is a high-class Player, but she has little chance of checking Miss Stirling if the former champion continues the game she has flashed this week. Miss Stirling fig- ures victory to-day will merely be a running start in a grand comeback that will culminate in the recovery of the national crown that Marton Hollins separated her from last autumn at Hollywood. The Morris County links with {ts steep grades and long carries is a tough course for the ladies, but numerous kinds of trouble never seemed «to seriously concern Miss Stirling. In each round she'd better her scores and in the semi-finals yes- terday the little miss with a big wal- lop came through with a record, Miss Stirling had for opponent Mrs. Thomas Hucknall, one of the best players In this district, who had de- signs on the title herself. Mrs. Hucknall entered from Morris Coun- ty also had the support of an enthus!- ic home gallery, but what’ she most needed was more distance in her shots. Mrs. Hucknall soon found it was useless to spot her opponent any where from fifteen to forty yards off the tee and then hope to make the handicap up later because Miss Stir- ling was equally strong with her irons and on the greens. The former champion played prac- tically faultlessly until the match terminated on the fifteenth green, where she won five and three. ‘Then in the hope of breaking rétords and with all strain off Alexa changed the deal and showed how easily strokes could be missed. Extra shots were necessary when her drive on the sev- enteenth was badly topped and the drive on the eighteenth went sailing far off to the left to land fn a batch of trees. Even with these late mjs- takes Miss Stirling fetched in a s¢ore of 88, which is accepted as a new woman's record for Morris County, # Mrs. Hucknall was outclassed at every department of the game but gameness. The little Jersey woman struggled gallantly for every stroke, but the odds were too much. In the entire match Mrs, Hucknall won only two holes, the second and tenth, where her playing was per- fect. The first hole was halved in HUTCHISON ON WAY ABROAD TO DEFEND OPEN GOLF TITLE Minus his. deep-faced mashie, which raised such a storm of ob- Jection abroad last year that: its use has since been barred by the powers that ho in golf over there, Jock Hutchison, the British open champion, 1s now on his way across to defend his title next month at Sandwich. Accompany- ing Jock was a replica of the fa mous cup which became his prop- erty after the play-off with Roger Wethered, the British amateur—a bit of silver, not impressive in appearance, but as historic a piece of competitive bric-a-brac as is to be found anywhere on the globe Hutchison is the first of the stellar trio to leave for the title event. He will be followed shortly by Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes, both of whom competed at St. An- drews a year ago. Mrs. Hucknall took the second and {t was tho only time she held the lend. Miss Stirling recovered briskly and began a winning streak at the fourth that finally yielded a four-hole advantage at the turn. Mrs. Huck- nall temporarily checked this display by taking the tenth, but Miss Stirling annexed the eleventh. Mrs. Huck- nall, still determined as ever, man- aged to half the next three holes. Miss Stirling with a great second shot captured the fifteenth easily, which ended the show. Mrs. Jackson, winning three and two, encouuntered unexpected _re- sistance from Mrs. Toerge of Piping Rock. Mrs. Toerge drove beautifully and this considerably worried her more experienced opponent, but the Piping Rock woman more than offsct her driving advantage with frequent miscues through the fairway and on the greens. It was this weakness that brought about her defeat. It was a case of give and take at the early holes, but Mrs. Jackson was the first to steady down and ran up a three-hole lead at the turn. This was further increased at the tenth. Just when a walkaway match seemed imminent Mrs. Jackson started to en- counter trouble wheff one shot landed behind a tree and a drive on the twelfth found the woods. Before thq spell of misfortune was over Mri Jackson lost three consecutive hole: With visions of victory looming up Mrs. Toerge then slumped, putting weakness costing her the fifteenth and sixteenth and the match.

He aver- aged 239.60 for his five games, winning for himself high average away from home, His record bowling of last night stands as the feature of the tournna- ment, as Stelter, his victim, was the former high average man and one of the most seasoned veterans of the bowl- ing game. The Bronx Centrals were the victors in the three-man event, beating the Or- pheums in both games. The second game between+ these two teams went twelve frames, the Bronx Centrals win- ning out in the twelfth with a score of 66 to their opponents’ 47. The Regents were the victors on thelr home alleys against the visiting Hunt's Point trio in both their games, and their vhan Kramer brought their academy further honors by beating Cohn of Hunt's Point in the individual, Yale Oarsmen Have Given Up English Stroke NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 26,—Radi- cal changes have been made in prepar- ing “the Yale crew for the final race with Harvard on June 23 at New Lon- don, as a result of successive defeats by Pennsylvania, Columbia, Cornell and Princeton, ‘These became known yesterday, when the work of rerigging the boats ac- cording to the American style was com- pleted. The Rowing Committee is of the opinion that the fault thus far this season has been with the rigging, and, beginning Monday, ail the shells were changed over and the English style rig- ging was abandoned. As a result of these changes the stroke will be changed to the extent of itself to the American rig, nd the English stroke, which was in- troduced in 1914 by Guy Nickalls, and which with various modifications was followed by Mather Abbott and the Corderrys, has been abandoned Whether this will improve Yale row- ing ts a question, but it certainly will satisfy the large number of graduates who have written into the Yale authort- ties after each defeat and demanded a return to the old Bob Cook stroke.
