NORTHERN OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP LONDON, Sept. 11. Percy Allis won the Northern Open Golf Championship at Heysham with a record aggregate of 277. Cotton was second with 282. SARAZEN WINS CHAMPIONSHIP A FINE PERFORMANCE ADELAIDE, Sept. 12. (Received Sept. 13, at 6.30 p.m.) Gene Sarazen, in winning the Centenary Open Golf Championship yesterday with an aggregate of 283, equalled the Australian best score for 72 holes on a championship course. G. Vonnida and Fergus M'Mahon tied for second place, to strokes behind Sarazen. Sarazen broke the previous course record of 69 with his morning outward round of 68. Then in the last round -he shattered the four-rounds local record. SARAZEN DELIGHTED ADELAIDE, Sept. 12. (Received Sept. 13, at 9 p.m.) Sarazen’s four rounds were 74, 70, 68, 71. The course being 73, there was a monotonous brilliance about his golf. His short game and his putting were superb. Sarazen confessed himself delighted with his form, as Seaton course at the outset appeared difficult. He said he felt justified in saying that his 283 was quite equal to Tony Manero’s 282 at Baldvistol, when he won this year’s American Open Championship. Sarazen predicts a good future for Vonnida, whose only lapses were on the greens. CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP TORONTO. Sept. 12. (Received Sept. 13, at 8 p.m.) The United States golfers finished one, two and three in the Canadian open golf championship. Little scored 67, 66, 69, 69 on a par 70 course for a remarkable 271. James Thomson was second with 279, and Craig Wood third, 282.
