At Rye, N. Y., Claude M. Hart, 58, of Boston, won the play-off of his tie with Henry S. Redfield, 59, of Hartford, for the U. S. senior golf title (TIME, Sept. 22). Scores—Hart, 77; Redfield, 84, over the Apawamiscourse. Oddly, both men were of that rare links species, the lefthander.

At Hamilton, Ont., pensive Glenna Collett, of Providence, toyed with Canada’s linkswomen, kept her Canadian women’s open title.

At Stoke Poges, Eng., Simone Thiou de la Chaume, 15, petite Parisian prodigy, smacked her drives, whacked her brassies, cracked her irons, popped her putts in, won the British Girls’ Golf Championship, was hailed “Lenglen of the Links.”

At Ardmore, Pa., 166 able performersflocked forth upon the sward of the Merion Cricket Club course for the banner event of U. S. golf—the national amateur championship. There were 17 British subjects, four Canadians, the champion of Panama. Out came balls, off sailed drives, in came qualifying scores.
