LADIES’ GOLF

DOMINION CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS OF FOURTH ROUND (Per United Press Association.) TIMARU, October 11. The fourth round of the ladies’ golf championships saw calculations further upset, there being tivo more surprise Avins. Though Mrs Tcmpler (Waimate) had been playing steady golf during the tournament it Avas expected that Miss M. Stevens (Pupuke), the vanquisher of Miss Gaisford in the first round, Avould prove her superior, but Mrs Templar fought the match to the twentieth, Avhere she won 1 up. Miss Steveus had a lapse of form on the greens, and was most inconsistent at critical periods. She holed magnificent putts, but several times failed AA-hen a Aviu appeared a certainty. Mrs Templer should account for Miss Loughnan in the semi-final to-morrow, though perhaps it is unwise to predict any result in view of the number of surprises already witnessed. Miss Barns Graham (Poverty Bay), one of the most promising of the younger players, went down to Miss Loughnan, the match going to the nineteenth green. On two occasions now Miss Loughnan has pulled the game out of the fire at the extra hole. Miss Watson (Manawatu) was beaten by Miss Rutherford (Hawarden), this being another unlooked-for victory, for the Avinner has not shoAvn consistent form.
