This statement is borns out by the fact that in the long history of the British championship, the final of which is played over thirty-six

helen recusions on which the player leading at the half-way stage failed to win in the end can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Indeed, in modern Emes the British women's championship provides the only nata be instance of an exception to the general rule. In that ever-memorable fing at St. Andrews, In 1923, be- tween Mrs. Glenna Collett Varo and Ms Wethered, the American was three up at the end of the first round, but Was eventually beaten three and one.
