(Received June 3, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 2. In the final or the ladies’ open golf championship Miss Wilson defeated Miss Montgomery, 7—6. Miss Montgomery, the gallant run-ner-up, was handicapped by an old hunting fall, which prevented her free hitting. She was, however, undaunted by Miss Wilson’s superior length, which she combatted with long iron shots. She proved a far better putter than Miss Wilson, who was one up after the flrst nine holes, after which the next nine \\k>re halved. Miss Wilson then reeled off figures with the manner and methods of a great professional, and reached the turn in 35, three under bogey. When seven up Miss Montgomery ■Continued plucldly halving until the end was Inevitable.
