MISS HYDE'S GOLF
TALK OF GOLFERS
ON EVERY SIDE
Few Men Can Make Better
Than 81 on Scarsdale
Course.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

THE remarkable golf played o.
Miss Lillian B. Hyde, the metro
politan champion, in her match
with Mrs. T. H. Polhemus will be the
topic of conversation for some time
to come at the Scarsdale Golf and
Country Club. Not a member of the
club believed it possible for any woman
to do the course in less than SIS, and
they would not believe it possible for
an IS to be made had not Miss Hyde
have made an IS in practise. There
are but few men in the club who car
equal or beat an 81. and it is something
of a joke among the men to say when
they see a mar driving from the first
tee, "All you have to do is to beat
an 81"
Miss Hyde won six holes in par golf,
or better, and won two in DOGGY, halved
two more in DOGGY and did the four
teenth hole in DOGGY. which Mrs. Pol
hemus won in par. In fact. Mrs. Pol
hemus won three other holes in par
and was down in DOGGY on the eleventh
hole, which Miss Hyde won in par. 1t
vas a most magnificent game Of golf
all the way through, and it was Mrs.
Polhemus who forced Miss Hyde into
her grand record breaking exhibition
of golf. Their cards were:

Prior to this tournament the women's
record for the course was 81. and that
was considered good until Miss Hyde
established a new record of IS in the
qualifying round on Monday. Her
game yesterday. however, which is only
four strokes above the amateur record
of the course which is II, completely

Is only nine strokes above the profess

held, forcing his weight OF Kurtz till
the bell. The round was easily Kurtz's.
The third round was even, for both
men were now warmed up and the fans
thought that action was now about
due. Both men were reluctant about
mixing, and the jeers of the crowd
were not out of order. The round
which was devoid of real lighting was
about even. Here the spectators, be-
coming Disguised at the exhibition,
started to leave.
The fourth round saw Lewis forge
to the front. He kept forcing the fight
and was unable to get Kurtz to start
activities. Whenever Kurt in this
round tried to swing he was wild, and
the blows wound around the neck of
Lewis. Billy kept working the kidney
punch, and it vas evident that 1t was
painful to Kurtz. for he WINGED on
more than one occasion. The round
was all Lewis. Here there was another
exodus.
The fifth round was the worst of the
evening. The sixth was a bit exciting
and it was here that Kurtz did his
first real fighting, which entitled him
to a shade. The seventh saw the men
determined to do something, and they
did, but Lewis did IL all. In the eighth
Lewis again showed to advantage and
the followers OF Kurt we're losing
hope, while the Lewis c~ampaigners
were in ecstacy. The ninth was fast,
and those HI remained were we'll sat
isfled for the fight was now really on
Kurtz now was able to get his JAZZ
working. but he could not stave off
the lefts and body blows of Lewis.
This round, too, was for Lewis.
With the opening of the tenth Lewis
rushed over to Kurtz's corner, but was
met with a surprise. Kurtz missed
with his left and sent a right to the
jaw thai floored Lewis. Billy rolled
over and Referee Brown ran to the
corner. He looked at the fallen man
and then %leisurely started to count.
Kurtz stood by, and when Lewis arose
in a staggering condition Brown kept
between them long enough for Lewis to
get a hold of Kurtz by the body. Kurt
punched him off and again sent him
down in his own corner. Here his
seconds threw a pail of water over
him which seemed to revive him. He
got up at the count of nine as tolled
off by Brown. Lewis tried to get
started, but he was all in and again
fell, merely to talk up time. When he
did get up he held so tight that Kurtz
was unable to punch him off. and
when the bell sounded he was relieved
1t took many minutes after the fight
for his seconds to get him from the
ring.
Tommy Andreach figured in the best
bout of the evening. The little lac

II EFEREE BILL BROWNS disin-
TX clination to have a knockout
scored at his clubhouse robbed
Young Kurtz of this honor over Billy
Lewis in the last round of a ten-round
session at Browns Gymnasium, in
New York, last night. Brown wants
to keep out of trouble from knock
outs, and for that reason in the tenth
round, when Kurtz sent Lewis to the
floor the referee was extremely slow
in his counting. The writer himself
counted twelve after Lewis had been
on the floor at least two or three sec
onds. Kurtz had put up an extremely
pool fight for nine rounds, while Lewis
was doing all the real work. Kurtz
failed to land many decent blows until
the tenth round, but when he did LAND
properlE the punch was one that was
labeled rest in peace
The blow came so quickly that most
of the fight patrons knew not what
had happened when they saw Lewis
fall in a heap and Bill Brown bending
over him asking whether or not Billy
was hurt. The blow was a right smash
to the jaw. 1t landed full. in fact so
full that Lewis was in dreamland and
would have stayed there had not his
seconds dashed cold water on him.
When Lewis attempted to rise the
referee kept Kurt away, and when
the two got together Lewis again went
down, not alone from the force of the
last blow, but from sheer exhaustion
He stayed until nine was counted.
Lewis rallied and showed great gen
eralship. stalling out the round.
The fight itself was a very poor eX-
hibition. Many of the spectators
started to leave in the fourth round,
and at the end of the fight only the
friends of the two boys were in the
house. Kurtz was unable to hit Lewis,
who blocked to advantage. Lewis
landed body blows hat certainly put
the damper IN the speed of the
Ghetto" champion and caused him to
hold" at every opportunity. Kurtz
and his famous jab were also absent
and Lewis was easil ythe aggressor.
Fight by Round
After rushing to the centre Of the ring
Lewis landed a light tap to the jaw and
stomach. Kurtz clinched and took
several hard wallops on the Kidneys
Kurtz rushed Lewis across the ring
and missed a right to the jaw when
Lewis clinched, and again sent several
to the kidneys. Kurtz landed a
straight left to the face, but tool a
wallop in the stomach that sent him
back to the ropes. Lewis hen tore in
and landed several that Kurtz did not
relish. The round was in favor of
Lewis,
In the second Lewis rushed from his
corner, but Kurtz clinehed when he
waved aside a left. Lewis here COM
planned to the referee that Kurtz was
holding. Lewis sent a light left to the
face and was sent to the ropes with a
right and left. The Ghetto" cohorts
here shouted themselves hoarse, yell
ing for a knockout, Kurtz kept fol
lowing and succeeded in breaking
through the defense of Lewis by land
ing several telling blows to the jaw,
Lewis was not able to get agoing and
