EVER MISS BROWNE MAY BE GOLF CHAMP Has Formldahle Opponent in Finals Today Nayatt, R. L, Sept. 6.—Another athletic championship for the Pacific coast is a possibility today. Miss Mary K. Browne, former fennis champiom, who has made a sensa- tlonal debut in national golf just af- ter playing in the semi-finals of the women's national tennis tournament, today meets Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd of Philadelphia in the 46 hole final round for the women's national golf champianshi Miss Browne has a formidable task agalnst Mrs. Hurd, whose record as a holder of golf titles is unsurpassed, As Dorothy Campbell she won the British, Canadian and American championships in 1909 and she won the American title again in 1910. In 1920 she was runner-up in the American event to Miss Alexa Sterl- ing of Atlanta. No one who-has secn the remark- able competitive ability displayed by Miss Browne in this ¢tournament would question the statement that she has an excellent opportunity to become queen of the American links, Her defeat of Miss Glenna Collett in an extra hole semi-final match yes- terday has sent her stock way up. Mrs. Hurd has been defeated by Miss Collett in the finals of no less than three tournaments this season. Mrs. Hurd is frank in her admiration of Miss Collett's golf and befieves she is the best of her sex at the game. Miss Browne qualified with 96, then defeated Mrs, H. Arnold Jack- son, former champlon, by six and four; Miss Louise Fordyce, Ohio champion by two and one, and Miss Bernice Wall of Oshkosh, Wis, by 5 and 4.

New York, Sept. 6.—Rain which vesterday saturated the internation- al field and made the turf unsafe play, caused the postponement today of the first of the lmterna- tional polo series hetween the American and British fours. As a result the first game will be played next Tuesday, matches following on their original dates unless the weather causes & further postponement. The speciai committee in eharge of the . international serles held out until the last minute last night before declaring’ the match off put just before dark it das deemed ad- visahle to postpone the opening tilt until Tuesday.
