The third Red Cross medal match was played recently by the ladies of the Otago Club. There was a very good entry, and it is hoped that still more players will enter for the remaining three matches. The match was bogey, and resulted in a win for Miss Jamieson, 6 down, handicap 24. fJome of those playing were Mesdames Gilray, Bakewell, Acheson, Misses Roberts, Law, Black, Ogston, Theomin, Jamieson, and Fynmore. The scores were not good, and bogey proved too stiff for many of the players. Among the club’s most promising players is Miss K. Black, already known in tennis and hockey circles. She has only been playing a year and has already reduced her handicap from 36 to 20. The next match will be held on July 4th, when the L.G.U. and the club’s gold and silver medals will be played for.
