He knocked Fitzsimmons down and nearly out, flattened Mc- Coy, knocked out Maher, drew with Tom Sharkey and Jeffries, knocked out Jim Hall.

By William Abbott. HB Lion {s one up on the Eagle so far in the score of the year’s international golf meet- ings. At Newcastle yesterday, Miss Cecil Leitch came through and re- tained her British ladies’ golf title, winning easily from Miss Molly Griffiths, The four Yenkee girls who crossed the ocean to separate Mise Leitch from her trophy were summarily ejected from the party on the Irish course. Along with disap- pointment that none of the visiting American women could get by the fourth round of the championship Is renewed regret that Alexa Stirling, holder of our national title, could not compete abroad, From what happened at Newcastle this week it is quite obvious that Mise Stirling is the only genuine player on thi side of the water whose game is strong enough to give the newly crowned British champion a busy af- ternoon, Miss Leitch comes from a golfing family. She is a big strapping girl and can wallop a golf ball further than many masculine players. She wields her irons with unusual snap and crispness and ie more than aver- age accurate on the greens. Miss Leitch has two sisters whose game 1s only a shade below her own standard, Catching the prevalent strike fever caddies at Baitusrol did a walkout a few days ago. ‘They went on strike for $1.50 a rouud, Can you beat that?
