 With Shattering Par Round

AnCaster. Ont, Sept. 2& tP-Thrcc things. al least. are certain results of the 94th Canadian ladies open golf championship. One is that T now champion will be crowned at the end of today's &6 hole final round; a second that she will be q resident of the United States: and d third that the winner, and probably the runner up can be counted on to >lay a leading rclr in the United States women's championship at De troit next week.
 A par-shattering round yesterday as the climax of week of fine golf has installed Helen Hicks, 1S-ycar old star from Hewlett. x. Y., as an overwhelming favOrtc 10 defeat Edith Quicr Of Reading, Pa, for the Canadian title. It likewise has put her in a commanding position in re spcct to the United States title event.
 The Long Island girl eliminated two former title holders on her way 10 the final. defcaIing Glenna Col lett, twice winner of the champion- ship, in q terrific Somin-fiual battle yesterday after having previously beaten last years winner, Virginia Wilson Of Chicago. Two other cX- champions went down along with Miss Wilson in the carly rounds. Neither Ada Mackenzie, the only Canadian player 10 win in the past ten years, and Helen Payson. 1927 title holder, reached the quarter final.
 Through this maze of upscts, the hard hitting little 'BiIli"" Hicks made her way with ease until Yes , terday when she encountered Miss Collctt The California girl was q
 favorite before the match and sht increased this favoritism on tho first nine holes by clipping three strokes from the women's par Of A0 10 lead three up at the turn. Miss Hicks was one under par for the first half.
 Faced by this margin, the indom- itable New Yorker made one of the finest comcbackS ever seen in a Canadian tournament to win inc match on the 20th hole. she nc@o- tiated the second nine holes in B strokes, beating perfect figures by six strokes and cutting down Miss Collects lead by winning the last two. fer IS hole total was &9-&&-- = while Miss Cohott carded 3G-$9-- 75. This card cquallod the former women's record she set several years ago.
 On the extra holes each started with a ,, hrt Miss Collctt took sec ond while Miss Hicks got down in four.
 The other scmi-final also was close but brought out a far inferior i brand of golf. Neither Miss Quicr nor her opponent, Mrs. Stewart Ham 1 ley Of Detroit could come within T half dozen strokes of the game Miss Hicks and Miss 'ollytt played. Tn" 2 Pennsylvania girl won the first two ! holes and hcll the upper hanl through the rest of thrt match, end 1 ing it on the 17th green and I.

Jim Daly tells a funny one in connection with the Sharkey-Lough- ran fight Thursday night The an- nouncement of the knockout in tha third round was given before the details of the second and third rounds were announced.
 A few minutes after the an nouncemcnt was made that the fight was over, a Meriden man. one who is connected closely with Joe Beas- ley, former business manager of Louis (Kid) Kaplan, came into Bridgctt's cigar shop on Church street.
 Say, have you " sharkcy money in hcre?" h asked Why" answered Dalv You don't want to bet on .shran, do you?" Ger tain'- any amount within reason," -rplied the Meriden man.
 For a time, Daily thought that the fellow was kidding him but when he saw that he was serious he ask cd. "Why do you want to bet on I.oughran?" "Becausc." came the reply Ines going to win tonighta fight.
 He is not replied Daily. He WIS knocked out in the third round by Sharkey.'
 If anyone could be struck dca by surprise. it was the Mcriden man. and with his jaw on his chest, he departed, richer by a great deal than he might have been if he had gotten his bets down.
 Football opens up today and to- morrow. Today the High school and Blues clash at Willow Brook park Whil" tomorrow, the Nutmega take on the New London Ockfords in the first pro grame of the year.
 Due 10 numerous inquircs We are stating that Manager Conlcy has sci the admission price at 75 cents. This is a wise move and the ad- mission at the gate is reflected in the refusal Of the manager to treat with high priced players.
