NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Hono
lulu golfers who indulge in debates al
the nineteenth hole over the compare
tive greatness of this or that star
would have been convinced that young
Francis Ouimet is the premier of them
all could they have seen the ease with
which he not only defeated but out
classed Jerome d. Travers yesterday
at Baltusrol.
1t was a four-ball match, but the
big crowd which watched the contest
centered attention on these two
Ouimet and Travers-for ever since
Ouimet met and defeated the British
cracks, Vardon and Kay, four years
ago for the national open title, it has
been a hot question whether Ouimet,
with his remarkable flashes of I'm.
beatable form and his general excel.
lence, or Travers, with his imperturb.
able, smooth and well-finished all.
around game, was the best of Ameri-
can link artists. ....
Golf critics who saw the thirty-six
holes yesterday and with whom
talked as We walked after the speedy
foursome agreed that yesterday
match was real test and that OuiIhet
proved himself the superior. In fact,
several declared that Ouimet is the
greatest golfer America has ever pro-
duced and are inclined to rate him,
considering the ability and tempera-
ment he has shown, as among the
greatest of all time.
For Red Cross
Like almost everything else in sport
around New York these days, yester-
days match had a patriotic purpose.
1t was for the benefit of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Two pretty girls in
Red Cross uniforms greeted each
spectator as he arrived on the course
and pinned on his lapel neat badge
with the Red Cross emblem. For this
badge-and the pleasant smile that &C
companied 1.-THE spectator paid a
dollar, and did 1t gladly. Otherwise,
the match was free to all-and it
surely was worth the dollar.
The rival pairs were 0uimet and
Jesse Guilford, representing Boston,
and Jerry Travers anu Oswald Kirkby,
representing New York, and nominally
it was an inter-city, seventy-two hole
match, the first thirty-six having been
played off last week at Braeburn,
Mass, the home ground of Ouimet. At
Braeburn, Ouimet and Giulford were
l up, but BaItusrol is practically the
home course of Travers and Kirkby,
who know it to perfection, and the
odds were said to be to that the
New York pair would emerge victor.
That they did not do so was principally
because Ouimet rose to remarkable
heights of play.
The Course
Baltusrol is a beautiful course in the
New Jersey rolling country, reached
from New York by way of Hoboken and
the Lackawanna railroad. 1t was a
cold, lowering day and the course had
been drenched with rain, but the after
noon was fairly dry and the crowd
numbered close to a thousand. While
It was not ideal golfing weather, that
did not seem to deter either Guilford
or Ouimet, but both Travers and
Kirkby had bad spots when they could
not get their approach shots working.
A detailed account of the match
probably would not interest Honolulu
golfers, but it will interest them to
know that yesterday Ouimet had Trav-
ers defeated at every turn. He out

Says Duke Has
Disposition of
A Schoolboy
Frances CoWeIIs Tells People
7 of San Francisco About
Hawaii Champion

Frances Cowells told the people OF
San Francisco what she thought of
Duke P. Kahanamoku in an article
written especially for the Bulletin.
She wrote, after he had swan:
whether the Duke is as good as
be was when San Francisco first
glimpsed his aquatic art, is not for
me to speculate. Certainly he was at
the top of his speed last night. With
something of dramatics he ran away
from the field in the first heat when
he fairly climbed out of the water
with speed. Never before was there
a swimming champ who was so thor
oughly the champ. He is sport, with
the disposition of a school boy He
wears his honors modestly, and have
yet to hear of an instance where he
failed to measure up to the standard
which all Hawaii has set for him.

That the 25th Infantry Wreckers,
instead of the Outlaws, will play the
9Th Artillery in the second game at
MoiIiiH field on Sunday afternoon was
the announcement of the management
of the park this morning. The entire
wrecking crew including Rogan, Smith
and Waterhouse will compete in the
scheduled contest
Since their defeat at the hands of
the Coast Defense last week, the
wreckers have been the subject OF
much speculation among the baseball
fans of the city. They have been I'M
detachable for a long time and are
rated as the best team In the ISLANDS.
Just what the results OF their last
game mean will be judged by the
showing they make against the artil'
iery team tomorrow.
with the appearance OF this team
at Moiliili large crowd OF soldier
fans is assured. What the fans are
looking for is a team that can win
from the Wreckers. They found one
last Sunday-they are looking for an

This Afternoon
The games in the Pacific league
this afternoon will be close. The Fill.

and are leading.
The Braves and Chinese appear IN
the first game. The third game In the
series will be played on Sunday be.
tween Healani and Mckinley, for
which the latter are the fayorites.
Four service teams are appearing in

early round, somebody gave MIN an
apple. He strolled along, muncking
and talking to friends, and when he
wanted to make a shot, he dropped
the apple on the~turf and let 90 with
his wooden club or iron as the case
might be.
Whether this easy-going tempera-
ment, with its absence of side and
of exaggerated ceremony, is helpful
to golf, ! leave it to the critics to say.
Certainly the pair in whom these
traits were most distinctive won de-
cisively yesterday and certainly the
trifing mishaps of the play did not
affect them as it did the others.
Met Honolulu Golfers
During the afternoon l met several
men who have played golf in Honolulu
and all spoke of the beauty and ex-
cellence of the Country Club course
and of the hospitality of the club to
visitors. The thought came to ME
that-1f Honolulu can with financial
success bring the premier tennis
players to the islands for the annual
carnival, why cannot the sportsmen
of the city secure Ouimet or Travers
or some other golf star, preferably
pair. for series of matches? III VIII
ter, when the Eastern courses are
buried under Sow, The golfers must
he idle or else 60 >Ouln. Why no:
bring them to Hawaii? Certainly, af-
ter the war is over, this is something
to think about. If Honolulu has a
man who will 20 for golf what Sen
ator Alfred L. castle has d3no for
baseball and tennis, the pr 3Ject couid
be put through. 1t would be a ire
mendous boost for Honolulu, frlm he
promotion standpoint Judging from
what 1 have heard here recently,
golf is gaining a stronger popular hold
than tennis, which means that more
people will read about golf than tcr-
mis-, and that the news of Ouimet and
Travers playing golf in Hawaii in
mid-winter would be world-ad for
Hawaii's climate and attractions for
visitors.

For twenty-five years "Tom" Lynch

life. Others had their exits and their

played one of his parts. He has
given up the management of the
Lyceum after all these years.
There will be regret at the passing
OF tom" Lynch from the active
management of the Lyceum. His name

From Henry Irving to Corse Payton,
from the best best actor to the best bad
actor, TON" Lynch has run the
gamut. He has seen the "stars' Of

traditions of the town. If the Lyceum
is an institution TOM Lynch is
none the. less so. The two must be in
separable in memory even If they
must be parted by the onrushing
