GOLF IN SYDNEY
AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS BOY WINS AMATEUR TITLE. ' SYDNEY, September 3. (Received Sept. 3, at 11 p.m.) The Australian championship golf titles were decided to-day in excellent weather. The Victorian boy, H. Williams, won the amateur championship, beating G. Thompson (New South Wales), 3 and 2. The professional championship was wonby J. Spence, who defeated W. Bolger, 2 and 1. The play of the amateurs excited most interest. Thompson, who is a deliberate type of player, made the game slow. Williams, on the other hand, is breezy, stylish, and partial to long hitting, but. his approaching was not so accurate as usual. Thompson was below form, and the game was not up to championship standard, possibly owing to the fortnight’s continuous strain of these competitions. The displays by the professionals were much more consistent. Spence, although beginning shakily, finished strongly.
