(Received September 24, at 1 p.m.) Henry Cotton's sweeping victory in the golf final in dull, drizzly weather at Moor Park is sure to become historic. He showed magnificent form which would probably have beaten any living golfer. He was six up at-the end of the first round, which was completed in 65, eleven strokes below bogey. Perry really played well, but was outclassed by the most brilliant round in Cotton's career. RUGBY LEAGUE. AGREEMENT TO BE KEPT. Freu Auociation—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 23.
