| The British Isles gained possession
of the Curtis Cup for the second time by superior play in the
singles matches. Down 2- 1 after the foursomes, the British
took four of six singles to regain the Cup, 5 to 4. The last
math to finish was vital. It pitted two players undefeated in
singles play in earlier Matches, Miss Polly Riley and Mrs. Frances
Stephens Smith. Miss Riley climaxed a comeback by evening the
match on the 32nd hole and again on the 34th.
After halving the 35th hole, Miss Riley took a one- over-
par 6 on the final hole while Mrs. Smith got down in 5 for
the victory and the Match. Winds of 45 miles per hour lashed
sleet across the course during the foursomes play. The Match
was played at the Prince's Golf Club, Sandwich Bay, England.
