After' yed Some Sensational Shots to Win the Match by Weak Putting--Oshawa Club Congrat- (By M, McIntyre Hood) Battling gamely after being two oles in arrears at the fifth hole, Miss Cecil Smith, of Toronto, over- ame the lead of her opponent, Mrs. Whittington also of Toronto, fought mip amd tuck with her until the thirteenth, and then went ahead to 'win the final match for the Ontario Ladies Golf Championship. by a score of three up and one to play at the Oshawa Golf and Country IClub course on Friday afternoon. The final match was a thrill- ler, even if some of the finer togthes, of the game were missing at times, Both players were erratic in spats, articularly in putting, and 'it wes on the greens that the match was Jost and won, In the first nine holes, Mrs. Whittington had all the best of it in driving and in her approach shots, but on the greens she seemed to be the victim of:ex- treme nervousness, and she lost many opportunities fo make 'the match and the championship safe for herself by weak putting. . To-| |wardg the end, the strain seemed to tell on her, and she weakened, While her youthful opponent, stimulated by the wiping out of her opponent's lead at the eighth hole, improved vith every hole, sent magnificent rives whistling down the fairways. as uncanny in the precision" of er approach shots, and did some | xcellent putting. ~ The final match, the climax of weak of strenuoug playing"gver he splendid, sporty course of the shawa Club aroused a keen in erest and a large gallery of spec- atorg followed the players around n what was an ideal summer after- At times the crowd was not | when the spectators crowded teo close in on the fairways in front: of the tees, and made the golfers a trifle nervous. But it was inter. est alone which was responsible for this, and the gallery was not, slaw to express its appreciation, by ap= plause, when either of the finalists played an exceptionally fine shot. The match started off as if Mrs. Whittington was ,.to have an easy time in winning, but once her op- ponent got settled down, it looked 4 more like a championship game. The break came at the eighth, when, Miss Smith sank a putt from a gists ance of about thirty feet to make a birdie four and square the match After that, she was never headed. although Mrs, Whittington -twice, evened 'the match, but failed %o] have enough in reserve when the al pressure came and Miss Smith coasted home &» winner, As has been noted, the match and the championship were won and lost on the greens. On several holes Mrs. Whittington took three putts to get into the cup, giving her apponent every opportunity to over- come the advantage which the more experienced player had in her ap- proach shots, More than once Mrs. Whittington was on the green in one less stroke than her opponent. only to be forced to take a half or lose the hole when her putts circled the cup and went past, or squeezed by so closely as to make the spec- tators gasp. Miss Smith's putting was not as good as it was in her semi-final match with Mrs. Bennett on the previous day, but it was good enough to win her the champion- ship, and it was in that department of the game that she had her ad- vantage once she settled dow The first hole was halved ia five, and at the second Mrs. Whitt ston' went one ahead when Miss Smith foozled a brassie shot and lost her |: ball in the creek. The third was halved 'in six, both players doing fyptopy poorly on the green. At the fourth, Miss Smith hit a tree with her sec- ond and went into the gully with her third, and'lost seven to four, Mrs. Whittington played this hole well to keep down to one above par. The fifth was halved in five, both players missing short putts. At this stage Mrs. Whittington was playing more easily and more than her opponent, and pulling ahead rapidly. the green, and she made § covery, taking four for- while Miss Smith, after, drive, just missed a tor 5 duced (the leeway to ome hy down in three. The 7th holé. halved in five, and at the ei thanks to a wonderful thirty foot putt, squared the match with a birdie four against her opponents' ive. The ninth went to Miss Smith Lmatch way again square. ulated on Course and Arrangements with a 6to her opponent's six, and she reached the turn one up. Mrs. Whittington squared the match again at the tenth, where she had a five to opponent's four, Miss Smith's drive and approach both being short. Miss Smith took the eleventh 4 'te.5:' by reason of: Mrs. Whittington's three putts on the green, and was again one up. Miss Smith got into difficulties in a sand trap at the 'd2th, and took sever to hér-opponent's six, and the At the 'thirtéenth' Miss Smith's drive place ed her in an excellent. position, lgvel with the pin, 195 yards from 'the tee, and put her in A'good posi- tion for her birdie three, while her opponent took 5, putting the cham- pion again one up, The fourteenth was well played by both and was halved in four. At the fifteenth, Miss Smith made a wonderful recovery after pulling 'hier iron shot into the rough among the trees, and won by 4 to 5 to 'make the score two up.. -A par three for both at the sixteenth made the gount dormie two, and Miss Smith holed. out her fourth, while Mrs. Whittington's ball curled pase the cup, giving the championship | to. Miss Smita for the second time | in three yeats:by a score of three up and one to play. Thus ended the Ontario Ladies Colt Championship tourney, played for the first time on the Oshawa course. "It servell two very useful purposes so far as Oshawa is con- cerned. It gave the members of the local golf club an opportunity of seeing champions in action,.and d\ watching the manner in which they played their strokes. And, what is more important, it convinced scores of the Jeading lady golfers of the proyince that Oshawa has a golf course that stands very high in comparison with the best in On- tario." Many were the comments heard on.the splendid condition of the course, on the sporty nature of the layout of the holes, calling for the best in golfing skill on the part of those who would come close to par. The Oshawa course has been well advertised by this tournament, and /the Oshawa Golf and Country has won for itself warm congratula- tions on the excellent arrangements made for it. ~Byerything moved along smoothly as a well-oiled ma- chine, theta were no hitchep; and no 'complaiiits, and to Jack Roberts; 'the. professional, to 'the staff .of greehkeepers and groundsmen, 'as well as tg the officials of the club, there is due a warm measuré of praise for 'the complete success which attended what was the first, but, it is to be hoped, by no means the last, provincial championship tournament to be played in Oshawa.

Miss Smith, with' her approach, overshot the green and landed in a sand trap, but ghé came out cleanly with her third. Both players sent their first putts past the hole, but Miss Smith holed out in five. Mrs. Whittington had to drop a. ball for a penal- but curved past the cup, and was forced to be content with a half.
