Manchester Golf MISS MORGAN WINS AGAIN Weather and Play Poor Association Football MANCHESTER CITY AT HIGHBURY Charlton's Most Difficult Task So Far at Stoke ATTRACTIVE FIXTURES IN LANCASHIRE The two Lancashire universities play their first Rugby Union match of the From our Golf Correspondent St. Enodoc Friday.

In spite of playing comparatively poor golf Miss W. Morgan retained her title in the final of the English women's championship here to-day, beating Miss M. M. Fyshe, of Black-well, by four and two. The quality of the golf was almost as bad as that of the weather, and perhaps the unpleasantness of the latter explained the poorness of the former.

Almost the whole of the second round was played in drenching rain, and the clammy heat made it most unpleasant to have to wear waterproofs. Indeed, Miss Morgan reached a stage when she scorned the rain, took off her Charlton Athletic, leaders in the Foot which took eight goals from them on their last two visits to Middlesex.

Tone set in us (anag.) (11). ball League and the only unbeaten team in its First visit Stoke this afternoon for what looks their most difficult match so far. Previously Charlton have, away from home, beaten Liverpool and Preston and drawn with Grimsby and Birmingham, scoring five of the eight goals wrung from these games and taking six of the eight points. At home Stoke have beaten Derby, Portsmouth, and West Bromwich (4 0 against Charlton's 3 1) and drawn with Birmingham. This last result favours Charlton, whose chance may be further enhanced by the absence of Steele.

Charlton have reduced to a fine (although depressing) art what Rugby players call "hiding the ball." The most effectual answer may be to try to force the game open by bold cross-passing by the wing forwards. Stoke have just the men for this job, and while it entails the risk of losing the snap goal by which Charlton have been winning their games, it is essential to get a highly concentrated defence on the run if one is to beat it. That was how Wolverhampton beat Charlton 6 1 last season. Manchester City'a Changes Manchester City, who have been taking an unusually early holiday in the Isle of Wight, play Arsenal at Highbury. Barkas returns to the side, but Herd is still unfit and McCullough has been chosen for inside right.

There is some doubt about Tilson, and Clayton has gone to London as standby. G. Hunt, Tottenham Hotspur's reserve centre forward, was transferred to Arsenal last night and will lead the attack this afternoon. Arsenal have so far beaten soundly all comers at Highbury, and there is nothing in City's form away from home to encourage the idea that the sequence is likely to be interrupted one needs only to refer to the results of the games to-day's rivals have played with Everton and Sunderland. Still, in the last two seasons City travelled to Highbury with apparently no better chance than they have now, and they won on each occasion.

West Bromwich Leeds There may be a considerable reshuffle in the First Division. Leeds, who are second and playing fine football, visit West Bromwich, whose forwards may be the more assertive West Brom-wich's 4 1 win at Grimsby, where Leeds drew 1 1, supports the view that the home team will win. Chelsea are said to be reformed, but fourth place seems to flatter a side which has failed to gain a point away from home. They have often done well at Portsmouth, where they play to-day, but it may be better to judge Portsmouth on the manner in which they played against Manchester City last week rather than on their place in the table. Portsmouth may win their first victory.

Wolverhampton are likely to be checked again at Huddersfield, but Brentford may not find Sunderland the formidable side TO-DAY'S THE LEAGUE FIRST DIVISION Arsenal v. Mc City Liverpool T. Everton Middlesbrough v. Preston H.E. Portsmouth r.

The result will be published on Wednesday, October 13. season this afternoon, Liverpool's full of confidence and Manchester's full of hope. Both have lost good men, but Liverpool's enforced changes are less sweeping than those at Manchester, where D. H.

Drummond is faced with the task of building an almost- entirely new back division. His three-quarter line of last season has completely dis-apeared. G. M. Komrower and A.

G. Komrower are now playing for Manchester, I. Black has joined Kersal, and C. B. Holmes is not taking any risk of injury in view of bis track commitments and ambitions.

J. Purves, who was always useful and sometimes brilliant at stand-oft half, also has left and is assisting Heaton Moor. The pack, however, has remained comparatively untroubled. The departure of J. H.

Ferguson, for Broughton Park, is a loss, but there has been compensation through the return of Gilbertson and Cranna. The effects of the tests which have been made during the last few days will be seen at Flixton this afternoon when Drum-mond leads hjs men on to the field to play Kersal. H. K. Lucas, who, like Drummond, is a Lancashire County forward, has happier prospects of leading his side to victory at Port Sunlight, where in the opening game last season the university won with 34 points to spare.

Lucas can rely upon the same first and second rows of his pack with a valuable recruit from Hoylake in H. P. Watts. Behind there are five of the men who carried the university to so many successes last season. They are Guest, Hmdley, Pennell, Hailwood and Walton.

Guest has already shown this season that he is advancing on last winter's form. The return oi the universities means that club sides will be weakened. Waterloo will miss Guest against Manchester at Blundellsands. As Collinson also is away the Waterloo three-quarter line is disorganised and it is possible that it will be completed by the inclusion of a forward. There will be strength, however, at half-back with Gerrard and Lumby available.

and although A. N. Clint is on the injured list H. B. Toft returns to hook.

The pack also includes H. B. Luya. younger brother of the present Black- heath forward. J.

S. Sherlock was damaged in the midweek match against Broughton Park and will be missed by Manchester, who are playing R. Home in the centre (with special orders to keep an eye on J. Heaton and G. M.

Komrower at half. R. M. Fraser-Thomson has decided not to take part in the Cumberland trial and will instead go to Blundellsands. Sale's Difficulties Birkenhead Park and Sale have both had some difficulty in completing their sides, particularly Sale.

Playing at Llanelly means two train journeys of altogether some twelve hours, and in view of the trouble players have in getting away this fixture will drop out of the Sale list. T. C. Metcalf was to have played at full-back, P. G.

Street the centre, and C. C. Brown at half, but as neither Metcalf nor Brown can travel J. D. Bradley has been brought in from the A team at full-back and street and JNoden will resume their old partnership.

G. D. Shaw and R. Hill are among the missing forwards, and if R. U.

Reynolds also finds it impossible to go Sale will be left with fourteen men to meet a side that contains four weisn internationals W. H. Clement on the right wing, B. Evans, E. Evans, and Ifor E.

Jones in the pack. Blackheath, who are one of the five London teams that are met by Birkenhead Park, will be strongly represented at the Park. There are Oxford and oiuuiiubc oiues among tne DacKS, a dangerous pair of half-backs in J. O. Sowerbutts and G.

A. Walker, both of whom have played for Headingley, and a useful pack. J. A. Tallent, a former English centre, was injured last week and is not playing.

The Park will miss T. C. Knowles, who is testing his injured limb with a game with the A team, and W. M. Shennan also is unable to play.

The kick-off is at 3 15. Fylde anticipate that the team they are turning out at home will be strong enough to prevent Halifax's securing a first victory at their expense. The only absentee is the captain. N. Hinton.

injured his place will be taken by J. R. C. Lord. There is plenty of life among tile backs, and S.

Crane is rapidly developing into a first-class full-back. To Liverpool falls the distinction of opening a new ground for the Northern club at Newcastle. Both J. P. Chester-Master and G.

Liversidge are' on the injured list and two new members, Deane and E. F. Hedgecock, will play in the three-quarter line. A. M.

Frank, of Stonyhurst, is expected to provide a good service from the scrum, which will 1-e strengthened by the return of H. A. Reid and A. J. Schofield.

T. L. Schofield is another new-comer. Swimming and Water Polo LAST NIGHT'S RESULTS In Manchester and District League water polo matches last night, Manchester Swan A beat Cheetham A 5 2 and Openshaw beat Broadway 6 5. Stockport defeated Reddish, 4 3, at Reddish in a Northern League water polo match.

Scorers for Stockport were Simpson (2), L. Ward, and D. Ward, for Reddish Reid (2) and Swindels. Reddish won the Northern League men's squadron race, but the Stockport women won the Manchester and district squadron race.

Manchester. There are three First Division games in Lancashire, and the most exciting should be that between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield, which Liverpool nave oeen matting a habit ox winning for some years. They look to be most evenly matched, and a good deal may depend on whether Lawton can be prevented from making the best of the chances which Stevenson probably will create ior mm. jsverton danger may come from Liverpool's right wing, on which Nieuwenhuys and Eastham have developed a happy partnership. Bolton Wanderers, with the team which won a point at Wolverhampton a week ago, ought to defeat Leicester, and Black pool's display at Sunderland was good enougn to encourage the view that they may overcome Derby County, whose improvement is hard to assess on the strength of their 2 0 victorv over a crippled Arsenal side.

Preston seemed to get into something like their real stride last week, and they may not be oeaten on Middies brough 's ground. Nash. Who was Dlavine in minor fnnt- ball a fortnight ago, keeps goal for miaaies Drougn. Newcastle's Strange Form Many of the Second Division matches will have worried the prophets enormously. Coventry, the leaders, visit Newcastle, whose failures at home have been astonishing.

Newcastle usually play much better against the stronger opposition, and they mifiht easilv run away with this game they might just as easily, it seems, lose it. West Ham, Aston Villa, Bradford, Norwich, and Sheffield United, each one point behind Coventry, also all are away from home. The Villa's chance against Plymouth may be the best, although Manchester United have been such distributors of largesse at uia Tratlord that Sheffield United will no doubt travel hopefully. One of these days, however, Manchester uiuiea wm rise in tneir wrath and fairly massacre the enemy already bad football out of their system. West "vc urawn tnree oi tneir four games away from home and may do no worse against Sheffield Wednesday.

Blackburn Should Win Southampton return to Lancashire to play Blackburn, who ought to avoid the indignity suffered by Manchester United. On form Burv have little chance of beating Luton at iuton, but Burnley, with Chester at left back in place of Richmond (injured), may get a point at Barnsley.

Tlmperley be seen between old rivals in Widnes and Swinton at Widnes. Here two of the best packs in the League will be in opposition, but the pity of it is that both teams have their limitations in the back division. Widnes's failing Is chiefly on the wings, and in the hope of remedying the defects they will reintroduce A. H. Evans and A.

Evans. Barker, fit again after a recent indisposition, returns to the centre. Shannon, the stand-off half, however, is being rested, and Kelly will partner McCue. Swinton nave dropped their New Zealand scrum half, Dempsey, for Bowyer, and the latter will be put to a stern test against McCue. Widnes has seldom been a favourable ground for Swinton.

and another home victory is probable. Newcastle, who visit Wigan, have had an average of thirty points per match scored against them this season, and Wigap. with Holder, their New Zealand right wing three-quarter, fit again, are likely to run up a high score. St. Helens Recreation will introduce three new players.

Tracy, scrum half, and Dunne and Winstanley. forwards, in their home match against Bradford Northern. The latter, however, are a powerful all-round side and may win. Rochdale Hornets, strengthened by the return of French and Moore in tha forwards and with P. Da vies at standoff half, should show improvement at Featherstone, but a home victory is probable.

Leigh will have MeGarrigan. a former Broughton Rangers half-back, and A. Evans, a forward from Halifax, against Bramley, whom they should beat. Oldham are a difficult side to overcome at home, and Broughton Rangers, who had a hard game at Barrow on Thursday, may not be good enough to win. Liverpool Stanley have attractive visitors in Barrow, and here again a home success is probable.

A revived Dewsbury team should defeat St Helens, and victories are expected for CasUeford. HulL and Keighley. TO-DAY'S FIXTURES Kick -off 3 SO. AUSTRALIAN'S' TODS wf Aasxrahass. LEAGUE MATCHES Outtelord Bum Oldham v.

Bramley" Liverpool a. r. Barrow pullover, and preferred to endure a soaking rather than stifle in the heat. This is the third time that Miss Morgan has won the title, and it was a oleasant gesture on the part of the officials of the St. Enodoc club to invite her to become a life member of the club.

Miss Morgan half hit her first tee shot of the day, but it was hard to believe that an experienced cham pionship campaigner such as she is could suffer from nerves, and no doubt it was nothing more serious than lifting her head that caused the error. She won the hole with a hve after Miss Fvshe had played three rather nervous putts. The champion also won the second hole with a six after Miss Fyshe had half hit her drive, bunkered her third, and put her recovery shot over the green. However, a slice out of bounds off the fourth tee cost Miss Morgan a six and the hole, and she also lost the sixth, where Miss Fyshe holed a long putt for a par four. Miss Fyshe missed a three-foot putt for a half at the seventh, and another of the same distance at the ninth for a win, and she turned one down.

Both players took 43 shots to the turn, six more than the bogey score. After the turn Miss fyshe, who, in spite of her comparatively slight build, was keeping well up with her opponent from the tee, lost her nervousness on the greens, and she squared the match at the twelfth by holing a chip from the short grass behind the green. Then she took the lead for the first and only time with a birdie four at the uphill thirteen. Although this hole measures less than 400 yards, every inch ot the fairway runs uphill, and a long drive and a good second are needed if one is to get home in two. Miss Morgan was well short with a drive and a spoon shot here, but she brought the match back to all square at the fourteenth, a hole at which any well-hit approach will roll round and round the punchbowl green until it finishes within a foot or two of the pin.

Miss Fyshe hooked out of bounds and placed her fourth stroke from a wall near the left-hand side of the green; Miss Morgan also went over the green with her approach, but she escaped an out-of-bounds penalty by about a foot and took a five to the easiest hole on the course. From this point all the holes coming home were halved, and at the end of the round the players were all square. Miss Fyshe com pleted the round in 83 strokes to Miss Morgan's 84, having come home in 40 to her opponent's 41. Shades of Carnoustie mis afternoon we conjured up shades of Carnoustie, for the rain poured almost ceaselessly, and two holes halved in sixes did little to improve our state of mind. Miss Morgan, however, became one up at tne tnird, where Miss Fyshe took three putts.

The game was again squared at the short fifth, where the champion pulled her tee shot into a bunker and took four. Miss Morgan plopped her second shot right into the miocue oi tne Himalaya bunker at the sixth, but Miss Fyshe kindly followed suit with a spoon shot that finished at the top of the bunker. A half in six would have been a reasonable result for the hole, but Miss Morgan played well out of the sand and over the bunker, whereas Miss Fyshe hit a weak shot down the hill, hit her fourth shot on the socket of her club, and played an ineffectual fifth. When Miss Morgan holed a twelve-yard putt for a win in a birdie three at the seventh we thought we were going to see something of the real champion, and for a hole or two we did, for Miss Fyshe had to hole a long putt for a half in three at the short eighth after being bunkered, and lost the ninth to a four after socketing her third shot Miss Morgan went out in 39 to 44, and was three up. On the way home a missed second shot cost Miss Morgan the tenth and a poor tee shot lost her the short eleventh; moreover, she was fortunate to rob her opponent of a win at the twelfth with a stymie.

She became two up again with a birdie four at the thirteenth and three up once more at the fourteenth, where Miss Fyshe hooked her second shot. From this stage there was no doubt about the result. A half at the short fifteenth made Miss Morgan dormy, and at the sixteenth Miss Fyshe almost missed her drive, half-hit her third, went over the green in four, and finally put a chip dead for a six, against a good five, so that the holder won by four and two. E. SMITH TAKES FYLDE TITLE E.

Smith (Davyhulme Park) won the Fylde and district open championship title on the Blackpool club's course yesterday when he beat J. Hargreaves (Fleetwood) in a replay with a score of 74 against 75. The two were level after holing out at the sixteenth, and then at the seventeenth Hargreaves. whose putting had been far from confident, took three strokes on the green after reaching it with two fine shots. With only one hole to play Smith held a lead of one stroke, but this seemed to be in danger when he cut his second shot into a bunker He recovered well with a perfect third on to the green and Hargreaves failed to hole a three-yard putt for a tie.

Smith won the title two years ago and was runner-up last year. Negotiations were completed -yesterday for the transfer of W. Walsh, a Heart of Midlothian ward, to Millwall. Hopwood, the Lancashire cricketer, leaving London yesterday on his way to South Africa, where he will be a 1 coach at Kimberley.

ANANAS HH IGHLI 1 I H'B LU St TENONS AWf PAGODA ATEiNlTiLlL BESTRI DEI SHADES TRADE RECOVERY Armameftit Boom as a Hindrance What -might otherwise prove a healthy trade recovery is being seriously disturbed by the world-wide diversion of effort to the production of armaments, said' Mr. W. Walker, of Manchester, in his presidential address to the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants Conference in London. The manufacture of armaments, he said, was causing a serious shortage of certain products for example steel and of certain types of skilled labour, together with the dislocation of production and delivery programmes and rises in the prices of all manner of goods.

Next year there was the likelihood of further gradual recovery, but it was difficult to forecast the effect of the inevitable slackening down of the armaments programme and the consequent fall in prices, diminished employment, and recession of business generally. Economists predicted another slump. There should, however, in the next few years be a definite clarification of the international outlook one way or another. "If some really constructive effort could be made to remove some nr all of the possible causes of war, the resultant easing of tension should more than counterbalance the effects of slump-eventually at any rate," he continued. The future should certainly see some substantial relaxation of trade restrictions of all kinds.

Industrv would probably have to meet the cost of nye-day week, holidays with pay. and the increased cost of the social services. The tendency would be still further large-scale units, resulting the diminishing influence of the small business. The increasing trend towards semi-public control of policy of certain key industries would also affect the cos: problem. Snooker GOLD CUP TOURNAMENT T.

15. Rugby League SALFORD MAY HAVE THEIR FIRST HOME VICTORY Hard Matches for Swinton and Broughton Lawn Tenms NUSSLEIN BEATS TILDEN Professional Final H. Nusslein (Germany) won the so-called professional indoor lawn tennis championship of the world when he defeated W. T. Tilden (U.S.A.), attired in a plum-coloured shirt and white duck trousers, by 6 4, 3 6, 63, 26, 63 at Wembley last night.

They played for more than two hours, and the way that Tilden stood up to it was remarkable. Nusslein usually beats Tilden now. but at one time it seemed that Tilden had chance in the middle of the final set for he made a spirited effort. However, Nusslein counterattacked and Tilden tired, not the German. It was on the whole a fatiguing match to watch, for there was too little variety, neither man favouring the volley much.

However, one had to marvel at- the superb length kept by Nusslein in one rally he placed three successive drives on Tilden's baseline and the perfect timing of Tilden. The American's eye seems to be as young as ever, and in the second and fourth sets at any rate he hit the ball with tremendous power. Only once during the course of this match did Tilden miss uuosn, dui ixussiein was not certain with this stroke. To the end Tilden aervea wiin vigour and produced at icoai, via: ace in nearly every service game. His trouble was that he could not Keep up the long baseline rallies with the machine-like precision of urau, wnose iootworK and stroke production are nearly perfect.

Golf THE PERFECT FIVE HOLE Sah Francisco, October l. E. Sarazen recently said view here: "I believe the sixth hole at Carnoustie played against the wind is the nearest approach to a perfect par five in the world.

There is no perfect par five in existence, for the courses all over- the world are; sluggers paradises. The greens on the par five holes are so big that any sort of shot can be played to, They should be about half the size and have' only; The Australians are sure to have a fine reception this afternoon at Halifax, where Rugby League football continues to flourish because of the whole-hearted efforts of the Halifax directors to provide players who will entertain the spectators with open play. Halifax, thanks to a riot of scoring in their opening two matches, have obtained more points than any other League club, and though they have fallen away latterly they are still a useful side, with Lockwood, at fullback, in extraordinary goal-kicking form and Treen, at centre, ever ready to take a chance. The Australians may be a little too heavy forward and fast in the back division for the Yorkshire side. There are six inter-county matches in the League programme, and one of the best games should result from the visit of Huddersfield to Sal ford.

The latter, as League champions, have made a most inglorious start to the season they have yet to record their first success at home. They have won two away matches, but only against teams of such quality as Leigh and Rochdale Hornets. Salford's loss of form is most extraordinary and is due not to any weakness in one particular department but to almost all-round failure. Jenkins, the international stand-off half, has been restored to his position after a match -with the reserves, and- this is the only change compared with the f'de beaten thoroughly at CasUeford. Huddersfield have not won away from Fartown, but their play at Wigan last week was satisfactory, and a repetition of it will sorely try Salford.

Mountain. Fiddes. Markham, and Madden will want a lot of stopping. But Salford may nna their form again, and If they do they should win. Hunslet v.

Leeds is a game between neighbours, and. though Leeds will generally be expected to win, the form of their opponents against Warrington suggests that they will give the visitors a hard game. Warrington, who with Leeds share the honour of being the League's only unbeaten side, should lose this distinction at home against Wakefield Trinity The power Warrington's forwards and their' lability in the back division should" be altogether too much for the club. -A great struggle will Miss Old)..
