GOLF GHAMPION: BEATEN Lewis, Titlc Holder on Siwanoy Links Succumbs to Clever Work of -And- crson Who Is Now Leading. New York, June 9-—John G. And- erson, Siwanoy's leading golfer, was the only favorite able to come through the first two rounds of match play in the Worcester county champion- ships tournament at Scarsdale ycster- day. Reginald Lewis of Wykagyl, the present champion; Theodore V. Ber- mingham of Wykagyl and S8amuel J. Graham of Blind Brook were elim- inated. Lewis was disposed of in the first round, ‘hut he succumbed to Ander- son ,the ranking player of the Ilot. Since Anderson acquired the medal Thursday he has set his ambition on the title and if his playlng yesterday is to be taken as a sample of what he will do today there is little likelihood that he will be stopped. Lewis and Anderson had a merry duel for the first nine holes, but com- ing in Lewis was unable to keep up with the spectacular shot making of Anderson. Lewis had eight consecu- tive 4s going out and arrived at the ninth ‘on even terms. Anderson won the fourth on a stymie and lost the fifth because his ball, which was rest- ing on the side of a mill, moved just | as he took his stance, which forced a penalty of one stroke. An impos- sible stymie at the ninth cost Lewis that hole. BEDIENT QUITS GAME.
