[PER press association.]

WANGANUI, October 10.

A fine day, after a night’s rain, saw the Belmont links in perfect order when the New Zealand golf championships were continued to-day. The first and second rounds of the amateur and professional championships were the principal events to occupy the stage, but the elimination round for the New Zealand Plate was also, played. After the second round of the amateur championship, the final result still appears to be very open, although two fancied players were removed in the persons of Hornabrook/and Guy.

Shaw was not playing his usual high-class game in his match with McIntosh, who played very steadily to finish the morning round, two up. Mclntosh sank a 20-footei’ at the Alma to win the hole with an eagle three, after Shaw had chipped up from a bunker to within two feet of the pin. The next Shaw won with an eagle three. In the amateur game, Brian Silk commenced against H. Dale by making a fine recovery from the bunker at the back of the green, holing a fine putt for half. At the next, he made a great chip shot to snatch a half. Dale drew first blood when he stymied Silk at the fifth, but threw away the advantage at the next. The game was square again. He also lost the! next by a weak niblick shot. Silk took the eighth with a beautiful birdie three, and was two up. They halved the ninth and tenth, bill.

MIRAMAR LADIES. WELLINGTON, October 11. The semi-finalists in Miramar Golf Club’s women’s open tournament are Miss Barns-Graham, Miss Hornabrook, Mrs Crombie, Miss Hanson. KIRKWOOD AND SARAZEN. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN.—COPYRIGHT.] SYDNEY, October 10. It was reported from Melbourne today that the Victorian Golf Union intends to prohibit Gene Sarazen and J. Kirkwood from using any registered golf course in Victoria for giving an exhibition of golf prior to the Centenary golf fixtures. Mr M. W. Roberts, the President

of the Victorian Golf Union, in a statement, said: “We cannot allow Sarazen and Kirkwood to commercialise the game. If they play oh unregistered courses before the Centenary We may have to consider what we shall do abbut their entries for the big events. We are under a heavy expense, and we have tried in vain to get the New South Wales golf authorities to help us to organise our Cefttenary fixtures. Consequently • we are under no obligation to New South Wales, and it is quite unreasonable to allow Sarazen and Kirkwood come here and scoop up all of the money before our big events.”

Kirkwood, interviewed at the Manly links to-day, expressed amazement at the Victorian Union’s attitude, which he described as “unsportsmanlike.” He said: “It completely upsets our plans, as it is quite unlikely that golfing enthusiasts would want to see us in exhibition matches after we have taken part in, say, ten days of Centenary golf.” ,A CLOSE GAME. SIDNEY, October 10. ; Sarazen and Kirkwood had an Exciting matchy at . Manly to-day with J. Ferrier and H. Hattersley. The match was all square at the sixteenth, but the visitors won two up, Sarinzen equalling the course par with 72, and Kirkwood being two strokes more. Hattersley also equalled the par. but Ferrier’s, score was an approximate 73. Hattersley holed a fifty-five feet putt. The local pair were rarely outdriven. ■’ , NEW ZEALANDERS’ WINS.
