WOMEN GOLFERS

Miss Gaisford in N.S.W. Final

By Telegraph—Press Assu.—Copyright SYDNEY, September 10.

In the semi-final of the golf tournament Miss Gaisford beat Mrs Russell 4 and 2; Mrs Bobinson beat Miss Kay one up.

Miss Kay largely owed her defeat to a number of missed short putts. Nevertheless, her opponent played superb all-round golf and was accurate on the greens, sinking one*thirty-footer. Mrs Robinson gave the impression of going for everything, the New Zealander playing restrainedly. Both got splendid length witli their toe shots and, although their seconds were occasionally poor, they made some wonderful recoveries. After being two down at tho thirteenth Miss Kay won tho fourteenth, halved tho fifteenth, missed a three-foot putt to lose the sixteenth and won the seventeenth Both were on the green in three at tho eighteenth, missed short putts and halved in fives to give tho Sydney player the match. Miss Gaisford was too strong for Mrs Russell. She turned one-up, lost tho tenth, where she took three putts, then won the eleventh. Airs Russell was disqualified at the twelfth for drying her ball, which had lodged in a pool of water. Alias Gaisford, with two halves and two wins, took the match at tho sixteenth. She will meet Airs Robinson over the thirty-six hole final to-morrow.
