NEW YORK. Sept. 2.—Joe Hopkins and Jimmy Blue, local lightweights, battled last night to a ten-round draw. By Chick Evans. P AUL HUNTER, as every one knows, gladdened the hearts of his friends by winning the Lake Geneva tournament and many of the adjuncts thereto. We were not pleased because he defeated some of our other friends, but because he plays such de serving golf and has had eo much undeserved bad luck. It seemed high time that such good playing should meet its just deserts. Paul Hunter comes of a strong golfing family. His mother Is much interested in his game. His father, C. L. Hunter, is a very good player him self, and his counin. Robert Hunter, is a player of the highest class, who, unfortunately, has not been seen on iocal links this year. It appears that a certain facility in golf playing runs in families, most notable examples, in addition to the Hunters, being the Gardners and the Ed wards. Paul, who is almost exactly my age, has played golf since his earliest childhood, and for years has been con sidered one of our very best players. Long before I began to play in public I saw pictures of Paul Hunter, a verv small lad, with a gol? club in his hand, in newspapers and golf magazines. He did marvelous things in tho.se days and Is still doing them. He p'svy ,n perfect form, a line, free, wid • ooen, easy style, and commands one or the longest iron shots I ever saw played. He is a strong, big fellow as golfers go. and gets his strength into the ball to the fullest advantage. He seems to play, however, in tho most exasperating- hard luck. When he loses It is almost always by the narrowest of margins, and almost al ways there is some rather spectacular bit of misfortune connected with hi-* defeats. For that reason as well as many others. I am sure that no one grudges Paul his “clean-up” at Lake Geneva, least of all, that good sportsman, Ken neth Edwards, the runner-up of the event. Hooray!
