COTTON WINS GERMEN GOLF TITLE WITH

17 STROKES IN HAND

Baden, Aug. 15,

Henry Cotton, world's greatest golfer of the day, carried of the German championship with an aggregate of 274 for 72 holes. His nearest opponent was Auguste Boyer of France, who finished second with a total of 291-17 strokes in arrears.

Cotton's final 30 holes were done in 69 and 72. Previously he had shattered the course, record with an astounding 63, following up this with 8 70.

Boyer needed 73 and 78 for his last rounds, and for the first 36 he returned 74 and 66-Reuter,

Cotton's achievements since Britain's defeat in the Ryder Cup last month have been outstanding. He won the British open at Carnoustle, two days later beat Densmore Shute In a self-styled "championship of the world," and has now added the German national title to his list of successes. He is one of the quickest and biggest money-making golf professionals in the world to-day.
