TIE FOR MEDAL SCORE
IN LAKEWOOD TOURNEY
Percy w, Kendall and Jasper Lynch
Split Golf Honors.

LAKEWOOD, N, j.. Nov. 27.-ThanksgivinE
Day was observed at the Country Club OF
Lakewood by qualifying round in the second
golf tournament to be staged in the pines this
fall and as a result OF a whole day OF medal
play, Percy W. Kendall. the Deal champion,
and Jasper Lynch. OF the home club, tied for
the medal with a score OF 10.
Only through a streak of good golf on the
inward journey was Lynch able to reach Ken
daiIs level in the scoring, for the former re-
he Tailed twos on both the short holes the
tenth and eleventh, and these materially aided
him in making up for his other lapses He
came home in SO.
Kendall might have saved several strokes
but for fours the same short holes where
Lynch did so we'll Wildness of the tee proved
costly for the Deal man.
He had a three on the 24O-yard thirteenth,
and It was the only one on the Inward journey.
Had he shown more setodiness coming in he
would have the medal easily.

INTEREST WANING
Marathon Run at Yonkers a Practical
Failure.

YoNKERs. N. Y, Nov. 27.-That the craze
for marathon running is on the wane was
evidenced yesterday afternoon when only %
starters turned out for the Yonkers race Of 25
miles, which attracted hundreds OF COM
petitors in the days when the victory OF
Johnny Hayes at London inspired the Amer
lean youth to tackle this killing event.
The class OF competitors also much
below the ordinary and the time of hours
minutes 5S seconds made by w. Calvin. the
winner, does not compare with many previous
performances over this distance. Calvin was
an easy winner and was nearly nye minutes
before A. Larsen, OF the Yonkers Y. N. c. A.,
who finished second After that the survivors
came dribbling in at long intervals, winding
up with o. s. Weeks, the 60-odd -year-old
enthusiast, who was the 18th and last man
to finish about 35 minutes behind the winner.

BY Hal COCHRAN

After one newspaper came out
with the whole White-Welsh prize
fight story and then. all the rest fol-
lowed suit about verbattleum, with
the real fight dope round for round,
can't see my way clear to act as
repeater.
There is another side to a prize
fight, however, and I'm going to give
you that.
In spite of the fact that the ring
game is called my many brutal"
there is very human side to it.
And this human side stood out very
plainly Monday night.
In the first place, the ring, for a
prizefght, is located in the middle of
a large, what might be called, arena.
1t is not, at least in the big battles, on
the stage. It's right out in the center
of the place where the battle is
fought. And above the ring there is
a very bright string of lights. When
the battle is on all lights in the house
are out except the ring lights. When
a round is finished the ring lights
flash out and the house lights flash
on.
Folks, at a prizefght, act nothing
like they do at theater. You don't
find them sitting comfortably back
and taking life quietly. Nothing like
that at all! Averyone is craning his
neck to the limit and the crowd in
general look like a bunch of New
York sightseeing automobile rubber
necks.
During the progress of a round
everything is pretty quiet except
when some good wallops are slipped
over. Then a short strong cheer
comes. When intermission is on, the
house is a hum with the spectators
discussing the round just finished.
All told, the interior of an auditor
ium for a prizefight is just one large
bubble of enthusiasm and nervous
