Keene. who has apparently forsaken polo for the
mora recent charms of golf. won his first tourna-
noent here to-day. when he captured the handsome
Tuxedo Golf Cup from r. y. Huntington In the
anal round Of the Tuxedo meeting. keene finished
II seven up and five TO play. The match was an
excellent Illustration OF what steady. consistent
though seldom brilliant, form can accomplish In a
thIrty-six- hole contest. Kcene's playing, while
never more accurate, lacked the clement oil aS-
erosion that has been its most attractive feature
on other occasions Perhaps this was due 10 the
fact that he had an opponent who did not force
him his best.
Huntington. however. should have credit for an
exceedingly clever showing While his game was
inferior to that which he displayed against travis
yesterday It possessed much of the finish that
made him prominent figure on the tennis courts
q few wears ago and which will bring him un-
doubtedly into similar prominence on the INKS p.
fore long His chief weakness lay In his iron snS' !;
had not been for his wretched work in this regard
his play would have been admirable tnrous"tUu' tho
