ENGLISH LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP.

aX CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYHIGHT LONDON, Oct. 14. Miss Wethered won the final of the English ladies' golf championship at Hunstanton, defeating Miss Stoeker 7..----and 6. Miss Leith did not compete **i and consequently Miss Wethered was. ' a hot favourite. From the beginning until she reached the semi-final she went through comfortably with a big margin by virtu"© of her imperturbable steadiness. In the semi-final Miss Molly Gourlay, a countyplayer from Surrey, taking every advantage of Miss Wsthered's mistakes, which were numerous, was 2 up at tho 12th hole. Eventually the crowd of 1000 saw Miss Wethered putting for the retention of her title on the IBtE> green, Miss Gourlay just missing a long: putt. This enabled Miss Wethered ta I square the match, with her stroke score |77 to _iss Gourlay's 79. Miss j Wethered was lucky at the 19th, win- , ning the closest championship match of her career by holing a six-foot putt..— j Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
