U.S. RETAIN THEM

CURTIS CUP

British Ladies' Team Beaten By 5 Matches 31

(By AIR MAIL)

Manchester (Mass.), September 8.

Britain's lady golfers failed dismally in the singles of the Curtis Cup contest on the Essex Country Club course here to-day, and the| United States retained the trophy by 51⁄2 matches to 31⁄2.

Of to-day's six games, Britain could win only one-that after having won the foursomes yesterday by two to nil with one halved, and seemingly having the Cup in their grasp for the first time. The lone British victor, was Miss Clárrie Tiernan, the Irish girl.

Miss C. Tiernan v. Mrs. Orcutt Crews

Mrs. Holm, the British Champion, made a deplorable start against Mrs. Page, losing four of the first six holes. At the third she took 8, and at the fourth missed a putt of two feet, and lost to a "birdie" 3. It was not until the eighth that Mrs. Holm won a hole with a four- foot putt, but she lost the ninth, and so turned four down Mrs Holm took 47 to go out, and Mrs Page 41.

Miss Tiernan, after losing the Mrs. Holm did not get going at all. At the twelfth her approach was bun.second, squared at the third through Mrs. Orcutt Crews missing from kered short of the green. The Scot's
