PLAY IN SEMI-FINAL. BRILLIANT DISPLAY GIVEN. SYDNEY. Aug. 10 The Sydney newspapers describe the semi-final in the women's golf championship between Miss McLeod and Miss Olive Kay, of New Zealand, as being the finest exhibition of match play ever seen in tho women's championship. Greater steadiness on the greens was primarily responsible for Miss McLeod's victory. Both players gave almost faultless displays of driving, and obtained wonderful length.
