By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 15, 5.5 p.m. London. Oct. 14. Miss Wethered won the Anal of the English ladies’ golf championship at Hunstanton, defeating Miss Stocker 7 and 6. Miss Leith did not compete, and consequently Miss Wethered was a hot favorite. From the beginning until she reached the semi-final she went through comfortably with i a big margin by virtue of her imperturable 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 at the 12th hole. Eventually the crowd of a thousand saw Miss Wethered putting for the retention of her title on the 18th green, Miss Gourlay just missing a long putt. Tills enabled Miss Wethered to square the match, with her stroke score 77 to Miss Gourlay’s 79. Miss Wethered was lucky at the 19th, winning the closest championship match of her career by holing a six-foot putt.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
