FOR THE BRONX CUP.
Beatrix Hoyt who holds the enviable title OF
woman golf champion OF the United States. was
beaten for the first time In her going career in
the Westchester tournament yesterday. when she
and her partner, w. H. Sands. failed TO win the
handsome prizes offered for the mixed foursome
handicap. II the first time Miss Hoyt has
appeared in open tournament since the Ardsley
championship. n month ago. and though her game
showed evidences OF lack Of practice 1t possessed
the same cleanness In execution and the same clev-
erness In short approaches that characterized her
triumph at that dime. Miss FIoyt has declared EN-
phatcally that she will not play In any more
championships. and possibly her decision may Keep
her from entering next seasons tournaments. but
1t Is hardly likely that she Will consent TO with
draw that ends in defeat. For this reason some
OF her friends not sorry that yesterdays match
resulted as 1t did. for all Of them are anxious TO
see her play another year.
Though Miss Hoyt and her partner did not win
they far from making a discreditable snow
ing Their card the lowest gross score re-
turned and had the tournament been at scratch
they would have taken first place with ease. Coli
Ing fame has It's disadvantages after all. for nat
urallv Miss FIoyt and Mr.. Sands did not receive
the same liberality in the matter Of handicaps
as some Of the others and though the committee
endeavored do its work with Impartial fair-
ness It was only to be expected that a champion
would be rated rather severely.
Among poor players mixed foursome Is popu-
lar branch Of the game for each can lay the re-
sponsibiity Of defeat uponhe other Yesterday nei-
ther Miss Hovt nor Mr. Sands could be called poor.

Miss HOyt's game excellent. while in the case
Of her partner It was seldom that he rose above
medocrity and in several instances he was not
ably weak In going for the third hole Sands struck

due rather TO Sands than to Miss IIcyt. The first
