MONTREAL, Quebec. September Is,
The Canadian women's open golf
championship passed into the hands Of
Virginia Wilson Of Chicago today. In
o battle of tournament medalists, she
defeated Peggy Wattles Of Buffalo, N.
Y, up and to play, in the 36-hole
final round.
1t marked the second time in two
years that Canada's chief Womens golf
ing prize developed into final round
duel between two stars from the United
States. Last year Helen Payson of
Portland, Me-, defeated Fritizi Stefel Of
Wheeling. w. Va, to win the champion
ship Miss Payson was eliminated In
the second round of the current cham
p.onship.
Miss Wilson virtually won the title in
the morning round. At lunch time,
Miss Wattles, who tied with Miss Will
son for the medal in the qualifying
round en- Monday, found herself down
and facing virtual humiliation. In the
first nine holes of the afternoon round
the Buffalo girl still was constantly in
difficulties and she entered the last nine
down and promptly lost the twenty
eighth, Miss Wilson becoming dormie 8.
Miss Wattles met this test with superla-
tive courage and took the next three
holes, the last with birdie g. But her
rally came too late, Miss Wilson ending
the match at the thirty-second hole
which was halved In SIS.

OF Mailing First Division Berth

"The players nowadays ride to and
from the park They ride IN the morn
ing and ride in the evening The first
thing a player does when he gets
enough money is to buy an automobile.
The result is that his legs do not get
enough exercise. And everybody knows
that ball player is only as good as
his legs. When has legs begin to
weaken. he is about through"
Schmidt, who is in Detroit for q few
days visiting old friends, has been UNI

started in the Pacific Coast League in

worked in the Middle Atlantic League

the ball struck him, knot as large as

While Jones, BraXton, Hadley and

do most of the starting during this last
tour of the season. Lloyd Brown, left
handler is apt to be sent to the slab
at the beginning of game or two
Manager Harris has high opinion Of
this southpaw's capabilities. Brown may
be used as main relief pitcher, too, In
this Western swing Bob Burke, also q
pitcher from the portside. is slated as
second of the relief STAFF. and in all
likelihood the gangly Jim Weaver will
get the call over Milton CASTOR as third
