Youth From the view point of the future of golf in Canada, possibly Should be the most pleasing feature of the Amateur Championship at Encouraged Montreal last month was the waythe youngplayers forged to to Play Golf. the front. Amongst the qualifiers were Bobby Reith, of Win- nipeg, and F. Corrigan, of Ottawa, only 16 years of age; Phil Farley, of Toronto, just turned nineteen, and R. ote: Montreal, a year or so younger, whilst only a year or so older were Jack Nash, of London, and Ken Black, of Vancouver. Then there was Nicol Thompson, Jr., of Hamilton, in the early twenties. These younggolfers not only qualified amonest the best 32 players in a field of over 120 of the outstanding amateurs of Canada and the United States, but Thompson and Costello went into the seeond round of t

e mateh play and Farleyinto the last eights where he was put out by “Ducky” n e Yates, of Rochester, who ultimately went through to the final. Altogether an B outstanding performance upon the part of the recently crowned young Ontario Amateur Champion. Golf is no longer an old man’s game, an opprobrium, under which it has suffered for many years. It is pre-eminently the young man’s game. Sixteen and eighteen-year-old golfers are crossing clubs with “veterans” of thirty or more and outdriving and outplaying them through the fairway and through the green. If Canadais ever to produce an International champion, which she has not done up to date, it will be by the young man route. The moral of all this is that youth should be encouraged in every way by club executives and given every opportunity to perfect its game and not be discouraged as unfortunately in the past has been altogether too often the case, especially amongst someof the older clubs. In golf as in every other sport youth to-day will not be denied. ‘Old Timers” maynot like it but they 323 324 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 17, No. 5 ean no longer prevent it and in the bestinterests of the future of the game in the Dominion,it is a good thing they can’t. Since the above was written late English papers to hand quite feature an article by Sir Ernest Holderness, one of England’s crack amateur golfers and a former champion, in which he blamesthe failure of Great Britain to win a single Walker Cup team match, on the restrictions laid upon golf by the English schools. “Golf accoutrement,” says Holderness,“is considered bad formina school- boy’s locker at Eton, Harrow or Rugby. Those who would dabble in this re- prehensible diversion must squeeze in a surreptitious round after hours. Hence it happens that the American amateur is a polished stylist, a finished golfer, whenhis British cousin is just beginning to take up the game seriously.” After all “catch ’em young” is the only recipe if you want to develop super-golfers.

St. Andrews Shades of the glorious golfing past! The British Open Champion- to Enact ship is scheduled to be played at auld St. Andrews in 1933 but Charge for the Royal and Ancient has notified the officials of St. Andrews Spectators. that unless an admittance fee is charged spectators, the championship will be awarded another club. For hundreds of years the links at St. Andrews have beenfree alike to the inhabitants of the ancient burgh and visitors. A special act of the Imperial Parliament will be required to legalize an admittance charge to the courses and the Town Council of St. Andrews has decided, rather reluctantly, to petition Parliament to enact the necessary legislation, which will be moreor less of a costly character. So golf is at last to be commercialized in the very cradle of the game. It seems a pity, but the staging of golf championships now-a-dayscosts a lot of money and associations have to provide themselves with the pounds, shillings and pence or dollars and cents, as the case maybe, necessary for their proper conducting. It is only a very few years ago, that the Royal Canadian Golf Association, enacted an entrance fee to witness the Open and Amateur Cham- pionships of Canada. The United States was the first country to make a gate charge and there some $25,000 is raised every year by this means. This season in Canada a sum probably in the neighbourhood of $6,000 was collected: by the R.C.G.A. from the galleries which witnessed the Open at Mississauga and the Amateur at the Royal Montreal last month.

Mere man would never think of playing two strenuous championships one week after another but the “lidies” seem to enjoy such a gargantuan feast of golf and come throughthe ordeal as fresh as the proverbial paint. As the U.S. Ladies’ Championship is to be played at the Country Club, Buffalo, which is only, comparatively speaking, a short motor or train run from Toronto, the week previous (September 21st-27th) to the Canadian Open it is certain that there will be a record number of entries from the United’ States. Then there is the added feature of the entry of Miss Enid Wilson, the famous long-hitting British Close and Open Champion. It is some years since an outstanding Old Country lady player has been seen on the courses of Canada and Miss Wilsonis assured of a particularly hearty weleome and is bound to drawlarge galleries. The pick of the Canadian women, headed by Miss Ada Mackenzie, a former champion, will do battle at Rosedale and are September, 1931 CANADIAN GOLFER 325

in high hopes that they can stem the U.S. and British invasion, but they will have to play par golf or better to do so. The handicap for the Open is 14, and the entrance fee $6.00. The Close Championship at Lambton, as its name implies, is restricted to Canadian players. Entrants must be members of clubs in affiliation with the Canadian Ladies’ Golf Union whose handicaps are not more than 25. Six months residence in Canada qualifies a player to enter. Record fields for both events are already assured and both will be of a most colourful character.

He even allowed the choir boys at Exeter Cathedral to play cricket on Sunday, after afternoon service. a Bobby Jones, the one and only “grand slam” in golf, was a visitor to the Toronto Exhibition last month and took a few hours off to limber up on the Toronto Golf Club with a few friends.

Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London, England. His Lordship is visiting with relatives in Aylmer, and expressed a desire to play on the Tillsonburg course. He was accompanied by R. L. Leach, manager of the Royal Bank in Aylmer. His Lordship

eee was welcomed bythe president, S. G. Vance, and Secretary A. M. Hare. A foursome was arranged, His Lordship and Mr. Leach playing Mr. Vance and Mr. Hare, resulting in a win for the visitors. After the morning round was played the visitors were entertained at luncheon in the club house, the president of the ladies’ section, Mrs. W. G. Pow, and Mrs. Rankinacting as hostesses. Bishop Ingram accepted an honorary membershipin the club.’’

** * It is with very much regret that the “Canadian Golfer” records the passing of Mr. James Edgar Skirrow, a member of one of Toronto’s oldest families andfor the past fifty years a prominent figure in the business life of Toronto. In his younger days he was associated with several business enterprises in Toronto, finally joining the Consumers Gas Company with whom he was associated for nearly forty years. Only July 14th last Mr. and Mrs. Skirrow completed fifty years of married life. Surviving him are his widow, three sons and four daughters: Edgar Wilfred, Homer Garfield, Elmore Gordon (advertising manager of the Dunlop Tire & Rubber Co. Ltd.), Misses Adella Irene, Reta Hazel, Eva Violet and Mrs. E. W. Brooks; all of Toronto. To the bereaved widow and family the sympathyof hosts of friends in Toronto and throughout Ontario will go out. a aba OE Despatch from Burlington, Aug. 21st :— ‘CA fancydrill demonstration bythe local fire brigade at a garden party became more: than a fancydrill here to-night. The firemen had just finished showing the spectators what they do to fires when a real fire ‘broke out in the Burlington Golf Club on the North Shore Road two miles away. There was no more fancydrill, and firemen who are members of the Citizens’ Band ex- changed instruments for helmet and hose. The fire broke out in a shop adjoining the golf club and destroyed the building and much of its contents, mostly golf bags and clubs belonging to members. The loss is estimated at about $8,000. The Burlington brigade prevented the flames from spreading to the club building. The Hamilton brigade helped, but arrived after the flames were under control.’’ ** * “The Greenbrier’ (and cottages), White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, is one of the most beautiful and historical resorts on the continent. No other fire- proof, European plan, year ‘roundresort hotel, with accommodations for more than a thousand guests, approaches “The Greenbrier” in comfort and beauty and complete appointment. Canadians planning outings the next few months can make no mistake in including “The Greenbrier” in their itinerary. Here they will find the acme of comfort and service. An airport of the first class, 2,900x3,600 feet, adjoins the golf courses and provides the best possible land- ing field for all sized ships. The stables provide the best blooded of Kentucky and Virginia stock for those who wish to ride the 250 miles of mountaintrails. Andthe three golf courses provide the finest resort golf in America. “What more could one desire?”

*** In the passing of Mr. John A. MecAvity, vice-president of T. MecAvity & Sons Ltd., Saint John, N.B., loses one of its outstanding citizens and golf one of its leaders and pioneers. Mr. MeAvity might almost be called the Father of Golf in Saint John, as he first took up with the game some thirty years ago. He was president for several years of the Riverside Golf and Country Club.

Why we should continue to say ‘Dear Sir’ and sign ourselves ‘Yours very truly’ when we write a letter giving the other man a piece of our mind is not easily explained.

We knowof one firm’ that never uses ‘‘Dear Sir’’ and the like but in the line that would ordinarily be occupied by the salutation it puts the first two words of the letter itself. Since these two words stand out it is essential that they be important andso the letter writer is forced to start his letter off with a bang. He can hardly make it read ‘In reply ....’ or ‘We beg...” He must start off with something like ‘Write quick ...’ or ‘Sakes Alive ...’ or ‘Payup.’ Just now we have received a letter from Ralph H.

During the tion held its 9th annual tourna- past nine years he and succeeding ment in the City of Victoria, B.C., the presidents and officers of the associa- second week in August and over 130 veterans of the Pacific Coast, leading professional and business men of Vie- toria, Vancouver, Portland, Tacoma, Spokane, Yakima, Aberdeen, Everett, New Westminster and Medford, participated in the event. Altogether a gallant companyof golfers from both sides of the Border played over the sea-skirted Oak Baylinks at Victoria, B.C., and thoroughly enjoyed for four days alike the golf and the unbounded hospitality of the Victoria Golf Club, whose guests they were. The tournament was notable for two outstanding features. For the first time two Seniors from the United States reached the finals and fought it out for championship hon- curs, Judge H. B. Rigg, the stocky jurist from Yakima, eventually proving the victor over Winlock Miller, Seattle, the winner of the qualifying round, and so another Canadian golf championship reposes in the States. Generally speaking, the B.C. Seniors, however, have held their own remarkably well in this tournament and have more often than not annexed the championship. However, to offset losing it this year, they again retained the team match championship eup, defeating the Americans 2514 to 1914 points. The other outstanding feature of tournament week was the presentation of a handsome watch and chain to Senator G. H. Barnard, the Found- er of the Association.

Billy Burke keeps up a tradition

Bee BURKE, in playing a Spalding Ball to win the U. S. Open, upheld a tradition of eighteen years’ standing. For, with but one exception, the Spalding Ball has been played by the winner of the U. S. Open every year it has been held since 1913. The fact that not only the winner, but 96 of the 139 entries, played the Spalding is proof that this Ball has something that the champions want. The answeris that it is the one Ball that assures the maximum in controllability, uniformity, and distance. Spalding Cushion-neck Steel-shafted Irons also are becoming tradi- tional equipment for tournament winners. Billy Burke played them in his great victory. Tommy Armour played them when he won the British Open. Fifty of the 92 who played complete sets in the U. S. Open played Cushion-neck sets. The reason? They are the only clubs in the world that offer uniform, controlled torsion—and the straighter and longer shots it makes possible.

We are proud of the fact that Burke and Armour, as well as other entries and past winners, are members of the Spalding Field Advisory Staff—a group of leading golfers retained to carry out Spalding’ s policy of testing in actual play, as well as in the laboratory.

338 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 17, No. 5 exciting final which was typical of the whole tournament—a success from start to finish. The ladies, too, enjoyed a municipal championship in which the fair sex vied for stellar honours. Their event arranged along the same lines as that of the men was acknowledged byall, both from a standpoint of the enthusiasm shown by spectators and contestants and the brand of golf displayed during the tournament, to equal if not excel the male event. Miss V. M. Gosbee was acknowledged the lady champion of the Windsor links when she turned back Mrs. E. Bruce, her nearest contender, to a 5 and 4 defeat. Miss Elsie Berry advanced to victory at Kildonan when she defeated Mrs. M. Yule 5 and 3, her deadly putting largely accounting for her success. In the grand final of this most interesting event, Miss Gosbee, the Windsor champion, was acclaimed the new Municipal Champion, when she barely managed to obtain a one-hole lead after a thrilling ding dong 36-hole struggle. Miss Gosbee gained a 2-hole lead at her home course, Windsor, and though in the second round at Kildonan Miss Berry valiantly strove to overcome this advantage she was unable to do so, and byrelinquishing a final chance to win the last hole which would have carried the match to extra holes and possible victory for her, was required to bow the knee to Miss Gosbee, who then became entitled to be acclaimed the Municipal Lady Golf Champion of Winnipeg—an honour indeed. So ended the Winnipeg Municipal Championships which have few if any equals in Canada. Incidentally, the prize list was a very handsome one and the Winnipeg merchants contributed most liberally. By large and small Winnipeg looks after its municipal golfers better than any other city in Canada and that is something very muchto the credit of the Metropolis of the West.

Lakeside Golf Club, Moncton, N.B., Has a Record Tournament R. L. H. PRICE, Moncton, N.B., is one of the few men in Canada to own a golf course—the Lakeside. He has spent much time, thought and money in developing Lakeside and has brought the course along from almost mere pasture land to its present splendid condition in a very fewyears. He has been rewarded with seeing his membershiplist swell appreciably each year, the numberof golfers who play by the day has also grown. Lakeside now is one of the most popular courses in New Brunswick. All of which is remarkable work for one man to accomplish, but then the Doctoris quite a remarkable man and immensely popular in Moncton and district. On Saturday, August 29th, an open handicap tournament was staged at Lakeside and was an unbounded success. Some 75 players participated including Senator Robinson, Senator Copp, Judge Jonah and other prominent New Brunswickers. Turning in a nett 57, which is certainly pretty good going, Noel Bryce, of the home club, romped home with the tournament cup. Clarence Upham with a nett 62 was runner-up. Senator Robinson wonthe hidden hole competition while J. W. Fraser and R. R. Gandertied for the runner-upposition in this event. Don McNaughton, former Maritime champion, turned in the low gross card with two forties. His handicap of six put him well out of the running for the Colpitts Trophy, however.

Windsor, Too, Should Get “Into The Municipal Game” (Editorial Border Cities Star) 48] 1 ROMtime to time The Star has published letters from citizens who protested against the plan of the Windsor Parks Board to establish a municipal golf course, on the ground that the city could not afford such an expenditure. The point seems to have been overlooked by practically every writer, that such courses have well-defined revenues and are always self-supporting. Many of them actually return substantial profits to the cities that own and operate them. As an example of this, the experience of the City of Winnipeg may be mentioned. Anarticle in the April issue of ‘The Canadian Golfer’ quotes the annual report of the Public Parks Board of the Manitoba capital. At the Kildonan Golf Club, operated by the Board, the total receipts for 1930 were $36,331 and the total outlay, $26,609, leaving the handsome cash balance of $9,722. At the Windsor Golf Club, Winnipeg’s second municipal course, the receipts were $30,770 and expenditures, $24,589, the cash surplus being -$6,180. The total number of games played at both courses was 91,206, compared with

Ontario sent up the Seottish amateur, captured the Open

Championship with the remarkably fine score of 142, or only two over par for the testing 36 holes at the Sum- merlea Golf Club, Montreal. Right on his heels in an exceptionallyclassy and representative field of the leading professionals and amateurs of Quebee and Ontario, was Robbie Alston, only one stroke back of him. Alston came to Canada a few months ago from Edinburgh, Seotland, and is holding down a job at the Boule Rock Club, Metis, Que. He recently showed that he had elass plus by negotiating the Boule Rock course in 64 which is a record there. At Summerlea he carded a 69 on his second round or 1 under par. It looks as though in young Alston Canada has acquired a young professional who should make a name for himself next season. Then in the Quebee Amateur, also held at Summerlea, the day following the Open, Edwin A. Innes, 24-year- old member of the Islesmere Club, Montreal, sprang a surprise when he lead a field of the best amateurs of the Province with a card of 145, or no fewer than five strokes better than C.

T the last meeting of the English Professional Golfers’ Association, Mr. F. ©. J. Pignon, the manager of the British Ryder Cup team, reported on the trip to the States and Canada. ‘‘I adhere to myoriginal opinion,’’ he stated, ‘‘that in more equitable weather conditions, the British team would have had a chance and a good chance to win the Ryder Cup match. Six days spent in terrific and humid heat, when the temperature was about 100 degrees in the shade, and on one day 104 degrees, was destructive to the team’s chances. They found it impossible to eat or sleep and the

players were reduced to a state bordering on exhaustion.’’ The report adds that the American press excused the decisive defeat on account of the weather, but the team naturally did not subscribe to these excuses. There was a valid excuse for the team’s poor showing on account of the terrific heat, but there was none whatever for their mediocre performance in the Canadian Open at Mississauga, Toronto. They were a ‘‘wash out’’.

The Spreckles Cup Passes ——

(By Griffith Bonner, Special to the Canadian Golfer) n

| OS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 10th—Canadian and British golfers, who are members of m the Coronado Beach summer colony and who also golf in the Los Angeles district e

and Southern California points regret the announcement that the amateur golf m a

championship of Coronado for the $1,000 (one thousand dollar) silver punch bowl N t

will be missing from the Southern California golfing programme next season. a

e M

The Spreckles Cup, donated in memory of A. B. Spreckles, one of San Diego’s and s h

Southern California leading financiers and sportsman, is of particular interest to British t i

and Canadian tourists in view of the fact that in 1924 William Hunter, former amateur E T

golf champion of the British Isles, was the first golfer to annex this trophy, which upon a

being won once becomes the permanent possession of the successful player. It seemed t i

more than fitting that at the closing tourney J. G. Hunter, of the Flintridge Country B

Club, Pasadena, should be the winner of this rich golf trophy, as he is a cousin of ‘‘ Wee e Willie’’ Hunter of golfing fame, now professional at Montebello, California. i The Coronado links, 6,615 yards, par 72, is a very tricky links to navigate with squadrons of airplanes flying overhead thrown in as additional mental hazards.

This tournament for eight years has been handled in splendid fashion by Bill Foley, N professional; Major C. G. Ross, Harry Gridley, J. A. Rafferty, Ted Steinman, Tom Aikers, Joe Grossman, and E. L. Philips. Next year, 1932, being the Olympic year in Los Angeles, it is to be regretted that Canadian golfers and golfers from other nations will not have a chance to compete for L another Spreckles bowl, unless the committee in charge uses the privilege of the fair sex &

and changes its mind, E San Diego, however, two miles from Coronado, the golfing centre of Lower California, S Country Club, La Jolla, or the splendid championship Rancho-Santa Fe 18-hole layout. may, however, see fit in view of it being Olympic year to put on an invitation tourney for all golfers at one of their magnificent country club links, such as the San Diego With tourneys already planned for Santa Monica, Pasadena, Griffith Park, and elsewhere plenty of golf will greet visitors to Los Angeles in 1932.

Rankin Father and Son Again Win Quebec Championship

R. J. I. RANKIN andhis son, Colin, have once again demonstrated that they are the M best pater et filius combination in the Montreal District. The Beaconsfield players over the Kanawaki course led a large field of 52 pairs in the Father and Son Tournament under the auspices of the Province of Quebee Golf Association. Mr. Rankin had a score of 89 and his son, Colin, 78 for a total of 167. In second place was T. H. McAthey, Hampstead, and T. G. McAthey, 169. Third, J. J. McCabe and P. J.

Tilden. They had a gross of 177 and a nett of 148. J. P. Arm- strong, senior and junior, came one stroke behind with 183-149. They wonafter a toss-up with T. H. and T. G. McAthey and W. S. and W. C. Harrison, all having netts of 149. In the individual prizes, the best gross for the fathers was taken by N. A. Timmins, of Beaconsfield, with 44-42—86, while the best gross among the sons was turned in by Russell Ward, brilliant young Forest Hills star, who had 38-38—76. The best nett among the fathers was scored by T. H. McAthey, of Hampstead, with 45-46—91—75, and B. G. Ransom, of Summerlea, with 44-49—93—75. McAthey wonafter a toss-up. The race for best nett honours among the sons also resulted in a tie, Romeo Trudeau, of Laval-sur-le-Lae, and J. R. Colby, Jr., of Royal Montreal, each having nett 70. The prizes at this most enjoyable tournament were presented by Mr. E. M. McDouga!l, president of Kanawaki, assisted by Mr. R. J. R. Stokes, the particularly able secretary of the P. Q. G. A.

“Young Joe” Thompson Comes Into His Own at Last. Wins the Willie Park Trophy From a Field of Over 200 Entrants.

NE of the most looked for tournaments of the season in Ontario is the annual Willie Park contest at the Weston Club, which always brings out the pick of the amateurs of the Province. On September 5th no fewer than 205 players teed- up, representing 25 clubs and of this exceptionally large number 165 turned in eards—a remarkably fine ee average. a It was a great day for “Joe” Thompson, of the Royal, York Club, young member of the most famous

colfing family in Canada. He has e

Scottish Boys Defeat England LTHOUGH Scotland for some time now has been more orless over- A shadowed by England in both professional and amateurevents, the boys of the homeof golf are keeping the Scottish flag flying and that should mean in a very few years nowthat the representatives of the land of the thistle will again be predominant on the links. In the recent International boys’ championship, Scotland defeated England by 7 events to 4. Some very fine scores were turned in. Showingthe quality of the driving. The first hole at Killermont, Glasgow, is 268 yards in length but more than one boy found the green with his tee shot. And that is some swatting even for the best of the grown-ups.

Correct Body Action (MacDonald Smith, Open Champion of Canada 1926)

HE fundamentals that cover the start of the swing are: To stand more ee, with the weight on the heels and the knees relaxed and a trifle bent. To be sure, in other words, to get a comfortable position, for it is only from a comfortable position that one can build a right swing. The next important fundamental to take up is the start of the backswing, and the proper turn of shoulders and body. The average golfer is afraid to turn his left side, and this causes him to start the clubhead outside theline of flight and to cut across the ball. Very fewgolfers let the body turn sufficient- ly. The left shoulder must turn without any drop, which is a fault that places too much of the weight on the left leg. Don’t be afraid to let the left shoulder come well around where the weight follows from the shoulder. Your weight will never transfer if the shoulders drop. The backswing should be started largely with the left hand and the left arm in control, fairly close to the body, and the big part of the smoothness that should follow will come fromcorrect shoulder turn because the club must get away with the turn. If the shoulder drops the club won’t get around. As the turn is made toward the right, let the weight go to the right side. I have been asked often as to which starts the swing, the hands, the clubhead orth e left shoulder. I should say that they sh ould all start together.

It is a long course and a course replete with natural and artificial hazards, yet Rimmer the other day went out to “burn it up” to the tune of a 63 or seven strokes under par on the 6,500- yard course. Rimmer last winter made golfing history, in the Los Angeles Open, when he earded a 31 for the home nine, the lowest score ever recorded for a 9-hole round in a championship in the States—Andy Kay in the Canadian Professional Championship had a 30 for the out- going nine holes at Rosedale a month or so ago.

f HE summer season of the Cascade Golf and Tennis Club, Metis Beach, closed last week. Despite the depression in the economic situation, the club had a fairly successful year.

Daniels, of Montreal, who defeated J. S. H. Arnoid, also of Montreal, in the final. The ladies’ handicap, the Baylis Cup, was won by Miss B. ij Cameron, who defeated Mrs. Thirlaway in the final.

The boys’ handicap, the Blair Esdale Truphy, was won by E. Grier, a son of Mr. C. B. Grier, a former Province of Quebec champion. During the last week of the active season much interest was shown in the open tennis tournaments. The men’s open singles was won by J. W. Dunn, a teacher under the Mon- treal Protestant School Board, who defeated F. C. Holt, also of Montreal, in the final. The men’s open doubles was won.by J. Johnson and W. Chipman, who defeated W. M. Hodgson and R. J. Dawes in five hard fought sets. In the mixed doubles the honours went to Miss A. Hingston and J. Johnson, also of Montreal.

HE Royal and Ancient of St. Andrews has recently been considering the question of the revision of the rules of golf. It is claimed by many students of the game that the rules are too prolix and a more precise code should be compiled. Then the question of the standing of an amateur, it is also contended, should be revised and made more rigid. For the first time in its long and distinguished history, the Royal and Ancient has asked the four golf unions in Great Britain to confer with it and make suggestions on the revision—the first to be made in many years. The R. and A. would be well advised to go even further afield, and consult also the Royal Canadian Golf Association, the Australian and South Africa Associations and other governing bodies of golf in the Empire which so far have always followed the Royal and Ancient rulings, most loyally. Any proposed revisions in the Rules should unquestionably be passed on to these Associations alike for criticism and construction before being enacted, otherwise, there may be a real dangerof these overseas associations promulgat- ing their own rules and decisions, which in the best interests of the game would be a very great pity.

In cidentally this is a feat never before accomplished in the realms of the ltoyal and Ancient. The great John Ball won his first British Amateur Championship in 1888 and repeated in 1912; or 24 years later. But Ball sandwiched six championships in be tween the two dates.

Miss Kirkham Dominates Ladies’ Golf i in Quebec

ISS Margery Kirkham, Montreal, Close Champion of Canada and Quebee Cham- M pion, was in great form this month when in the field day at the Quebee Club course, Quebee City, under the auspices of the Quebee Branch of the C.L.G.U. she led a field of sixty leading lady players of the Province with a card of 86. The best nett score in the silver division was returned by Mrs. Tessier, of the Quebec Golf Club, a mark of 81. In the bronze division, Miss B. McNaughton, of Thetford Mines, scored 103 to take gross honours. Miss Gallagher, of Quebec, had the best nett in the division with an 82. The special prize for 36-handicap golfers was won by Mrs. G. Ross, of Quebec, with 116. The prizes were presented by Mrs. T. Arnold, of the Royal Montreal Golf Club, president of the Quebee Branch of the C.L.G.U., who headed a party of Montreal golfers, Then the following week, Miss Kirkham at the Forest Hills Club, Montreal, won for the third successive year the Lord Atholstan Cup, symbolical of the ladies’ championship of Montreal and District. With rounds of 83 and 86 for a total of 169 Miss Margery was ahead of her nearest rival, Miss Dora Virtue, of Whitlock, by no fewer than 9 strokes. She is unquestionably the leading woman to-day of the Province of Quebee. In 3rd place was Miss Lorraine How, Beaconsfield, 182, 4th and 5th, Miss Doris Taylor, Kanawaki, 185, Mrs. L.

HE 9th annual junior championship of Ontario held at York Downs, Toronto, on September 4th, notwithstanding the reduced age limit to 18 brought out a field of nearly one hundred youngsters from all parts of the Province, although naturally Toronto boys predominated. The course was in splendid shape, the weather ideal and the golf realty of a very high character. Running true to form this championship, like so manyothers this season, resulted in a “tie-up”, three promising youngsters, Jack Chinery, Humber Valley, son of the head ereenkeeper at York Downs, R. G. Phelan, Rosedale, and Art Stollery, also of Rosedale, all handing in cards of 160, which is good seorine on a stiff course like York Downs, of over 6,300 yards. “Billy” Freeman, the club’s professional, is certainly a good sizer-up of boys. He predicted at the beginning of the tournament that 160 would win—and threeof the juniors verified this prediction. In the play-off the following day between the three 160’s, Jack Chinery, Humber Valley, with an extremely well played 77, quite decisively annexed the championship.

It was in e o the second round, too, that Spittal disposed P of Willie Lamb, winner of the champion ship last year and generally thought to have a good chance to repeat this year. The final was by way of being an anti climax to many thrilling matches. Robson was never headed and scored an easy vic tory over the Ontario Champion by 7 and 6. Possibly the best match during the whole tournament was that between Robson and his chum and countryman, Ferguson, in the semi-finals which went to the 19th. Both Robson and Ferguson had cards of 66 for the 18 holes—records for Uplands. As a result of Robson’s well deserved victory the tournament will be played next year at the Islington Club, which is most appropriate. It was at Islington that the initial match play tournament was_ played in 1927, when Arthur Miles, of Mississauga, won and the following year Captain Mel ville Millar, manager of the Islington Golf Club, presented the trophy and the tourney became an annual affair.

PTER holding the championship Considering that neither the U.S for ten times, George S. Lyon, Senior matches nor the Triangular the Dominion’s Grand Old matches, Great Britain, the United Golfer, rather to the regret of Senior States and Canada, were scheduled golfers throughout Canada, had to this year, as they were last year at bow the knee this month at Mount Bruno, Montreal, to J. Dix Fraser, of Rosedale, Toronto, who is_ fifteen years younger than the manytimes champion. The result was not altogether a surprise as Fraser has been playing repeatedly in the seventies this season over the stiff Rosedale course. Like his predecessor in the title, he took up golf when in “the forties’ at Fort William and Port Arthur before removing to Toronto some twelve years ago. He too, like Lyon, is a strong, resourceful player and drives a long ball and plays his irons erisply and well. The new champion, whois 58 years of age, can give the majority of the most brilliant young players a “run for their money”. Last year at Toronto, he was runner-up to the veteran with a score of 157, or 5 strokes to the bad. This month at Montreal he carded 158, which reversed the 1930 argument to the tune this time of 5 strokes to the good, Lyon, the runner-up, having 163. These fine veteran players have had two encounters in succession in which the stroke margin of victory was exactly reversed.

Ottawa Hunt Gets 1932 Open Cham- pionship and Lambton the Amateur

It has-been officially announced that the Royal Canadian Golf Association has selected Ottawa as the venue of the Canadian Open in 1932 and the club to secure the coveted championship is the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. This is a course that has only been in play for few years and has never before been looked upon as of championship calibre, but the cqnsensus of opinion of experts who the ps year or so have played over it is that it provides one of the best tests of golf to be found anywhere in Canada. The last time the Open Champion ship was held in Ottawa was in 1920 when at the Rivermead Club, in a triple tie with ©. R. Murray and Tommy Armour, then a Scottish amateur, the late Douglas Edgar won the title. There were only two golf clubs in the Capital then with a membership of a few hundred Now there are seven clubs with memberships running up into the thousand. Ottawa was entitled to recognition from the t.0.G.A. and in selecting the Ottawa Hunt course a very splendid selection indeed has been made. It has also just been officially announced that the 1932 Amateur Champion ship will be held at the Lambton Goif and Country Club, Toronto.

OMPETITIONS for the season are already over at Powell River, B.C The last of the major events, the final of the ladies’ open championship, was fought out last month between Mrs. E. Murray and Mrs. EB. Peacock, and an exciting final it wa On their first encounter, the two ladies finished their eighteen holes on even terms and a second battle was necessary. Mrs. Murray gained the coveted honour by emerging victorious with a 3-2 count. Both ladies played sparkling golf, Mrs. Murray showing great recuperative strength to square the opening match after being five down at the end of the first round, Records have been falling thick and fast on the Powell River course in recent week Last month, the Marine contingent invaded Powell River and Steve Brynjolfson, playing with Maurice Boxall against Jimmie Huish, the Marine pro, and Dr. Lee Smith, broke the course record with a 68, four below par. Next week, Maurice Boxall equalled Steve’s record. Steve promptly turned around the following week and brought in a 66 card, Two days later Maurice duplicated the feat. And not satisfied with the performance, a few days later, sailed around eighteen holes in 64—eight below par, shattering all existing records to ribbons. Local enthusiasts are now backing Steve to come through with a 60 or thereabouts, just to keep the excitement going Unquestionably this team of Steve Brynjolfson and Maurice Boxall are almost an unbeatable pair on the Powell River course. It is extremely debatable if there are a pan of golfers, amateur or professional, in British Columbia, who could defeat thi pair at home. In his recent record-smashing voyage, Maurice had seven birdies and an eagle in his eighteen holes. Steve, to make his 66, shot nine birdies, and on one hole was two over par Boxall was formerly pro at the Erie Downs Golf and Country Club, Bridgeburg, Ont
