Anderson, the Siwanoy star, we have come upon a golf card which, in our opinion, represents the most amaz- ing individual achievement of a fairly busy year. Those who have never can appreciate a good part of it. But to those who have mingled to any extent at all in the ancient pastime, the verified stary about to be un-| folded will be well beyond belief. Remember “Even 8's? You may recall the golf story whish Owen Johnson once wrote, known as “Even Threes,”” wherein everything broke exactly right for the hero, and to his startled astonishment one three played golf | fallowed after another. But Mr, Johnson's story was a nine- vement, And it was fiction, is still remarkable because is an eighteen-hole story, and it occurred. The Star Performer. The star performer, who now enters the scene, is Mr. E. H. Fowler, of Scarsdale. Mr. Fowler began the sea- son as a 12-handicap man, His aver- age was around or 86, Once in a while dropped to 81 or 82, But all in all through the early summer he played about the golf that a 12-handi- cap man might play. Possibly a little better, but not enough so to have his handicap cut until the miracle took place. A short while ago Mr. Fowler went to Scarsdale for a two-ball match. He started with a 4 on the first hole of 380 yards and was sufficiently pleased. On the next hole, 365 yards he got another 4. When he got hi third 4 at the 387 third he was more than satisfied. He played the next two in par with a 3 and 4, respective- ly. Here the dream that each goffer carries through life, but nearly al- ways in vain, began to develop. Par far the next four holes, varying In length from 300 to 461 yards, is 4-4-4 Mr. Fowler played them in 3-3-3-4, and so reached the turn in thirty-two strokes, four under par. And Then— Startling events of this sort have happened before—for nine holes. But always after such a start the average golfer who isn’t a star begins to flounder and fade away. The smash-up may arrive between the tenth and fifteenth holes, but it always arrives. But on the 446-yard tenth, par Mr. Fowler got his 4. At the n 488 yards, par he got his lone & of the round. Then followed a nar 3, and then on the 503-yard thirteenth came a 4, beating par again. Two 3's followed in succession, and then a 4. This left Mr. Fowler with two holes to play, of 328 and 206 yards. He had now come to the edge of a dream that ! all hold but that none but the Vardons | and Braids ever lure into the poppy- | land, where such fantastic =~ dreams | come true. ! He had a 4 and a 3 left to smash all irer-nrds: and to finish the total round with 65 strokes! The professional record of the | course is 67, set by McDonald Smith, Who won the Met, Open there two years ago. At 4 and a 3 would give a 12-handi- cap man the record by two strokes!

The postponed football game be- tween the Empires and the Spartans to settle the 125 pound champlon- ship of the city, will be plaved at the East End gridiron tomorrow af- ternoon. The kick off will be at 2:30 o’clock. Captain McChristy of the High school team will referee. the leading man. You know, in fiction or in real life, what would happen million at this particular moment. We would like very much to say that Mr. Fowler got his 4 and his 3. But we are even more pleased to say that he did even better—finishing 3—38 for another 32, givin him a 64 for the round, breaking the professional record by 3 strakes and the best amateur recqrd by 5 strokes. Beyond All Dreaming. Those who know golf know also the terrific strain the average golfer Is under when he gets away to a bril- liant start. In his anxiety to make his best score and to hold this margin he nearly always blows wide apart Once in a while a 10 or a 12 handi- ap man will. run amuck and get a 5 or a 76. Iven this is rare. Once in a while a 4 or 5 handicap man will get the breaks, start putting, and finlsh up with a 72 or 73. But for any one but a scratch player to break 70 on a standard course, hard enough to be selected for a profession cham- pionship, is an unheard of accur- rence, Sixty-four, over such a course, is a better mark than Jerry Travers, Chick Evans, W. J. Travers, Oswald Kirkby, Max Marston, Bob Garden or any of the leaders ever made in the many thousands of rounds they have played. None of them in their entire careers ever broke the professional record of a course that had known its share of play by any three-stroke margin. T a It so happened that day for Mr. TFowler that the “once in a hundred lifetimes” happened. His drives went away, his approach shots dropped on the green and his putts went down. Tt is needless to say that in making such a score his putter was working in its nicest manner. But it took something more than fine putting to get a 64. One has to be pretty well up around the greens to get nine threes, for example, and to get fours on holes from 470 ta 500 yards. There may have been a greater or a more amazing individual Grantland Rice’ achievement this season, but we doub it very much. So far as the game o golf goes, we have never run across anything even approaching its spec tacular and miraculous features, There is no past standard in sight to which one might even compare t accomplishment. HENNESSY IS READY FOR WALTZ SCRAF Jersey Boy Is Big Favorite Over Mirror Mauler Numerous boxing fans of this cit: are interested in the boxing show to be staged by the Lenox A. C. of Mer {den on Monday evening, in whic! | Sammy Waltz of Hartford, and Je. rome Hennessy of Jersey City, wil clash in a 15-round star bout. T the semi-final Charlie Treyball of New Britain, will box Chick McCormac CHARLEY TREYBALL. of Hartford, and in the preliminard Jimmy Welton will box six rofnd: with Young Paul. In the top go the fur is bound tg fy as both boys are eagerly seeking this bout, for the winner is. to b matched with Young McAuliffe. Hen nessy is training with Joe Shugrue of Waterbury and Waltz is training in the same city with Buddy Faulkes. For the past two weeks the formen boy has been working out wit Frankie Burns at Belle Harbor, L. I Hennessy has boxed many morg| bouts than the majority of eastern| featherweights and he is still rated by his manager as the “undefeated feather.” Among his victories arej ones over Joe Mooney and Johnn Drummie’ and he has boxed a dyaw wvith Young McAuliffe. They will Weigh in at 126 pounds at 3 o’clock] In the afternoon. The preceeding bout promises to be equally as fast. Fans from thig city well remember the showing Trey- rall made against Waltz at the Leno: A. C. about two months ago, and also remember the tough battle which; McCormack boxed with Fragkie, Brindisi a few weeks later. Both are| bears for punishment and also clever. The opinion as to the outcome is, equally divided but the followers of| each are confident. They will box at 122 pounds. In the preliminary two boys will meet who complete a perfect card,] Jimmy Welton is the 116-pomnd| champion of the Silver City, and has vet to be defeated. When it is known that he has boxed at every show given v the Lenox for the last twe, years this will be recognized as somsl record. Young Paul is one of the bet: ter known among the Hartford bans tams and is said to be very fast. Hugh Rorty of Hartford will do the announcing and Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven will act as referee, Dennis McMahon of the Lenox A. G will be timekeeper. “SOAKUM” YOAKUM DIDN'T. New York, Dec. 2.—Charlie White, the clever Chicago lightweight, whe is looked upon as one of the leadMng contenders for Freddie Welsh's light- welght championship laurels, boxed ten rounds with the awkward but rugged Stanley Yoakum of Denver, at the Harlem Sporting club Iast night, and at the final gong the Chi- cagoan had a clear margin in his fa- vor. He displayed a superior know=- ledge of the finer points of the game, and landed oftener and with more cleancut blows than his sturdy_ op- ponent, and, although Yoakum ‘was trying desperately all the way, from the sixth round to the finish, the Den- sporting ver lad ylelded the honors,
