KIRK-WINDEYER CUP

New South Wales Golfers Beat Queensland Pointless.

FINAL AGAINST N.Z. TO-DAY,

SYDNEY, June 14.

Conditions were ideal to-day for the first of the Kirk-Windeyer Golf Cup matches at the Rose Bay links. New South Wales proved too strong for Queensland, the latter being beaten by six rubbers to nil.

New South Wales thus qualified for the final against New Zealand tomorrow and on Thursday.

In the foursomes R. H. Bettington and R. J. Withycombe (New South Wales) beat T. Trude and T. Munro (Queensland), 3 up; J. Ferrier and G. Thompson (New South Wales) beat R. H. Cumming and G. Whatmore (Queensland), 4 up.

In the singles Ferrier beat Cumming, 1 up; Bettington beat Munro, 7 up; Withycombe beat Trude, 4 up; Thompson beat Whatmore, 9 up. The games were all played out.

An outstanding incident was Fcrrier's recovery against dimming. TJie former's form was disappointing in the early stages, liis veteran opponent being 3 up at the turn. Ferrier was much steadier over the second nine holes, however, and, after a great struggle managed to win the last green.

Subject to the likelihood of an alteration in the New Zealand team the draw for the foursomes, over 36 holes, tomorrow is: Ferrier and Thompson versus Hornabrook and Silk; Bettington and Withycombe versus Black and Brinsden.
