ALLSOPP WINS
GOLF TITLE OF
NEWARK, N. ].
Stymie on Home Green
Aids Victor in His
Final Match.
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Alder. z. Allsopp, of Baltusrol and
Forest Hill, won the golf championship
of Newark yesterday by defeating l.. A.
Wilson in the final round Of the first
annual championship tournament on
the links Of the Forest Field Club, at
Newark.
Allsorp's margin Of victory was Of
the slightest, as he vanquished Wilson
by only up, and at that by means of a
stymle on the home green. As mat
ter OF fact, IL would have been occasion
for remark had the title not gone to an
Allsopp, for there were no less than
four OF the family entered in the tour
nament.
In coming through to the final round
Yesterday Albert +. Allsopp defeated
his nephew, 4. +. Alsopp, at s and 4, all
family ties being forgotten once the
players set foot on the first tee. In the
second fight there were two more All
sopps, whether brothers or cousins
could not be determined, and in this
division W. 7. Allsopp eliminated
Thomas Allsopp by up and l TO go,
and then won the final by defeating II.
Hutchinson on the home green by / up.
In addition TO the semi-fnal and final
rounds at match play there was also an
l6-hole handicap medal play competi-
ton, and in this tie resulted between
George Compton and Victor Christi.
Compton returned a card of SO 20-66,
and Christl's was SO -l7-66.
The tournament was enlivened by a
number of unusual things yesterday.
Following the disqualification of Johnny
O'Connor, the Essex County caddie, in
the qualifying round on Thursday, a
Priest from local paroehial school, re
lnforced by the town truant officer, Wis
tied the links and created havoc and
CONSERVATION by nabbing a dozen Of
the smallest caddies, saying they had
been playing hockey from school. The
boys were on their guard yesterday,
and every time they saw the priest or
the truent officer they lodged behind
trees, covered themselves with sand in
the bunkers or tried to climb into the
bags they were carrying. The disturb
ance thus caused put caddies at pre-
MUM, and several of the players had to
carry their own clubs.
Allsopp and Wilson had a nip and
tuck match all the way, neither being
able TO gain a substantial lead at any
time. Coming 10 the short home hole
over the gully, Wilson laid his mashie
shot within fifteen feet of the pin, and
seemed to have a sure coming to him,
Then Allsopp played his tee shot, and
the ball came to rest directly between
Wilson's ball and the hole, laying a
perfect stymie. Wilson tried hard TO
get around his opponents ball, but
failed, and Allsopp won the hole in
TO 4, the match and the first golf cham
pionship Newark ever had.
