MISS KAY CHAMPION

EASY WIN IN FINAL BRILLIANT DRIVING (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegrap!- "opyrißht.) MELBOURNE, September 7. (Received Sept. 7, at 11.15 p.m.) The Women's National Golf Championship of Australia was won by Miss 0. Kay (New Zealand), 9 and 8, from Miss J. Hood Hammond. The spectators were treated to a delightful exhibition under trying circumstances, a gale

in the morning and rain in the afternoon. Miss Kay, in a strong wind, drove long, raking balls well down the fairway, and was a treat to watch. Neither player putted well. The approximate figures in the first round were:— Miss Kay: Out, 40 (2 up); in, 45 (3 up. Miss Hammond: Out, 43; in, 48. Miss Kay fully justified her plus two rating, and her victory was exceedingly popular. Never has such well-controlled driving by a woman player been seen. MEN'S TOURNAMENT. THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP.
