open championship, which be gins to-morrow.

All the competitors in yester- day's match were single-figure golfers, and the standard of play was high. There was never any doubt, however, about the super- iority of the Scottish team, who retained the Stroyan Cup.

Miss Sheila Stroyan, the Scottish captain, defeated the English lead- er, Miss Peggy Edwards, who won the girls' title last year, by 2 and 1. Miss Stroyan took the lead at the short seventh, where she sent her tee shot two feet from the stick, and holed the putt for a 2. She in- creased her advantage at the eighth, and turned 2 up, being out in 37.

FOUGHT BACK -

Miss Edwards fought back well on the homeward half. She reduc- ed her arrears at the 12th, and was only 1 down with three to play." At the 16th, however, her tee shot over the pond was too strong, and she lost the hole to be 2 down again. A half at the next hole gave Miss Stroyan the victory.

Miss Jacqueline Gordon, runner- up for the championship last year, played some of the best golf of the day, but she was unlucky with several shots, and was beaten 2 and 1 by the Scot. Miss Jessie Baxter.

ONLY WINNER:

Miss Dorothy Thomson, of Edin- burgh University. who is a fancied competitor for this week's cham- pionship, played well against Miss Joan Pemberton, and won by 3. and

2.

Miss Dorothy Drew was the only winner for England. She beat Miss Jean McIntyre, of Lindrick, by 6 and 4, the most decisive win of the day.

London, September 7.

› To perpetuate the memory of Harry Vardon, the greatest golf- er of his time, who died in March, a bronze statuette of him has been made.

It will be presented annualy, with a replica în miniature. by the Professional Golfers' Asso- ciation to the player with the best average in the leading stroke competitions.

At present, Henry Cotton, the Open champion, leads narrowly from Charles Whitcombe, British Ryder Cup team captain.

As there is a possibility Cotton, on medical advice, with- drawing from the remaining events of the year, his average will probably drop below Whit-
