Three Championsin B.C. Kay Farrell, Lillian Boyd and Peggy Hodgson Hold Crowns -- - - - Form Likely Provincial Team Nucleus

Out on the West Coast the womenaspirants for top honors have been completing a most active summersession with honors for the three titles of major importance in British Columbia being snared by three rather well-proven shotmakers. We have in mindthe B. C. provincial championship which was won earlier in the year by the veteran Jericho player, Miss Kay Farrell of Vancouver, the Vancouver City title which long- hitting Lillian Boyd of Shaugnessey Heights won from Miss Farrell in the final, and the Victoria ladies championship annexed by Miss Peggy Hodgson of Royal Colwoodafter a fine battle with last year’s B. C. champion Mrs. E. Jackson of Uplands. The ladies picture in the far western province has been rather a closed one this season with the leaders holding more of a margin over the “semi-top-ranking” players than in other This sporty, eighteen-hole course, years.

BOECKH and ALSTON Dominate in Ontario As Former Overcomes Joe Thompson ...

Ontario’s two most important events, the amateur and the Open championship were both settled comparatively recently for 1938. Onlookers saw some rather unique features in the former but the latter was much the same tournament as last year playedall over again. The ranking of Jim Boeckh, of York Downs in Toronto at ninth in the National rating for 1939 was amplyvindicated when the smiling, smooth-swinging, James make the most of a scrambled picture which appeared in “the eights” of the ama- teur. In the end however it was his ‘ ‘dogged fighting spirit” which brought him through to annex his first Ontario title.

In 1906 Perey Bar- rett and George Cumming laid out the nine-hole course, and the upper part of the barn on the property was converted into a locker-room and the farmhouse became the club quarters. In 1912 the present building was started and in 1913 it was completed, one of the finest and most spacious buildings of its kind in the Toronto district. It is of unique design, conforming to the wide U curve of the fine driveway that fronts it, and with ample accommodation for the throngs that will tax it during the Open. This year, it is expected, a greater attendance of Un ted States spectators is anticipated, in view of the U.S. Open having been held in Denver, too distant fer many golf enthusiasts to attend from Eastern points. With the U.S. Ryder Cup team already entered, with old- timers such as Diegel, Hagen and Kirkwood in the vanguard of ex-champions, with the brilliant newcomers such as Snead an- nounced as entrants, with a seven man team from Bermuda en- rolled as starters, and with the popular and sincerely supported group of Canadians who will give their best as always, this year’s Canadian Open promises to be a brilliant presentation of an ever- thrilling event.
