Canadian Open
Braced by Canadian atmosphere, a raiding party of American professionals crossed the border and took the first nine places in the Ca- nadian open golf championship at Toronto. The Dominion's leading players passed out of the picture in early rounds.
Clarence Hackney of Atlantic City, highly stimulated by that northern air, finished five strokes ahead of Tom Kerrigan of Mount Vernon, N. Y., runner-up last year to Al Watrous of Radford, Mich, (who did not compete this year).
Hackney, who in 1919 played par golf with one arm while a break in his left was mending, is the fifth American to win the Canadian title since it was created in 1904.
Scores: Hackney, 295; Kerrigan, 300; Sarazen, 301; Hutchison, 302; Farrell, 305; Ayton, 309; Crichton. 309; Hampton, 309; Canausa, 310. .
