LADY GOLF CHAMPION.
MISS WETHERED WINS.
TITLE RETAINED BY PUTT.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed, 5.S p.m.) LONDON. Oct. 13.
Miss Wethered won the final of the English ladies' golf championship it Hunstanton, defeating Mists Stocker, 7 up and 6 to play. Miss Leitch did not compete, consequently Miss Wethered was a hot favourite from the beginning, and until she reached the semi-finals she went through comfortably with bi.q; margins by virtue of her imperturbable steadiness.
In the semi-final Miss Molly Gourlay, a county player from Surrey, taking every advantage of Miss Wethered's mistakes, which were numerous, was 2 up al the twelfth hole. Eventually a crowd of 1000 saw Miss Wethered putting for the retention of her title on the eighteenth green, Miss Gouday just missing a long putt. This enabled Miss Wethered to square the match with a stroke score of 77 to Miss Gourlay's 79. Miss Wethered was lucky at the nineteenth, winning the closest championship match of her career by holing a 6ft. putt.
