Providence Girl.

Haverford, Pa., Sept. 28 (AP)—Defending her title as women's national golf champion, Glenna Collett of Providence, R. I., brought off a stirring uphill fight in the first round today to defeat Mrs. O. S. Hill of Kansas City, two up. Mrs. Hill Wins First Mrs. Hill opened her offensive against the champion by winning the first hole in a par four to Glen-na's five, the champion requiring three putts on the heavy green, but the Providence girl came back to square the match at the third with a safe par three to Mrs. Hill's erratic four. Miss Collett found trouble aplenty on the fourth, where her ball hopped into two traps. She lost the hole 7 to 6, but once more she levelled the count by taking the sixth hole, where her approach putt stymied the mid-west player. The champion then went to the front for the first time at the seventh, where Mrs. Hill's game collapsed. The Kansas City woman, short on her second, pitched back and forth into three traps around the green before she finally got on with her sixth stroke. She then conceded the hole to the champion, whose third carried her ball within two feet of the pin. Champ Is Two Up Approaching dead to the pin at the eighth for a safe par four, Miss Collett became two up when her opponent flubbed her mashie pitch. Mrs. Hill here spurted to take the ninth and tenth, once more squaring the match, the champion requiring three putts on both greens. The cards to the turn: Miss Collett, out— 563 765 444—44 Mrs. Hill, out— 464 666 763—48 Mrs. Hill Rallies It became apparent when the battle had been carried to the thirteenth that Miss Collett would have to brace strongly to beat off the attack of her mid-western rival. After honors had been divided on the 11th and 12th, Mrs. Hill skied her mashie shot over the 125-yard stretch to within two feet of the pin and then got down her first putt for a birdie two to Miss Collett's par three, making the Kansas City player one up again. Clever chips from the edge of the green to within a foot of the cup gave each player a birdie four at the fourteenth while they holed out at the fifteenth in par fives, leaving Mrs. Hill still one up. On this hole the champion shanked her iron to the rough, her recovery dropped the ball safely on the green, while the Kansas City woman was in a trap. Mrs. Hill, however, was down in one putt for a half. Rally Saves Match A determined rally by the champion saved the match after she had been one down coming to the fourteenth tee. From here on she recovered command of her putter, after requiring three strokes on many greens in the early part of the duel, and finally evened the score at the sixteenth. Playing in three under women's par for the last seven holes of the contest, she then won both the seventeenth and eighteenth to clinch her victory. The champion finally leveled the count at the sixteenth, where she laced a powerful drive fully fifty yards beyond that of her rival, whose ball hooked into a trap. Miss Collett's perfect second carried her ball to the green, 35 feet from the pin, while Mrs. Hill was barely on the fringe of the carpet with her third. Mrs. Hill's attempt to drop her long approach putt failed, while Glenna was down in the regulation
