Travis Beats Lynch After n Desperate
Twenty.Hole Match.

SOUTHAMPTON. July 27.-Travis still sur

but only after twenty hole m atch with Lynch.
The well-known Lakewood player had the
better OF the luck. q term which every golfer
knows for as rule his approaches lay dead
and he actually could not miss a put. To or
set such dashing, FREELY sort of game was
high compliment to Travis's nerve and kill.
He stood the gafI like q gameeock In the pit.
and finally won n desperate and long drawn
out fight There Ia no doubt that it was
the steadiest and best handled golf game ever
held in this country between amateurs. Judge

clever put and an easy temper. He will be

Lynch. who putted poorly missed a chance
on the first green. and Travis won in to 5.
The situation was reversed on the next green,
and Lynch won in to D.. Playing the third.
Lynch made miss Of his tee shot. and Travis
won In ! TO Z. Lynch won the next in
4 to 3, Travis again missing a chance on
the putting green. The score was all
even. Now came no less than seven halved
holes. a most remarkable sequence In most
cases. for both drove long balls throughout.
The clever iron work of Lynch is what won the
halves to him; But for his exceptional play in
this respect Travis would have won out easily.
To have stood Off the determ med rush made by
the Lakewood player was in itself q wonderful
thing.
Both we're on tho twelfth green in ., but
Travis failed to get down his long approach

the hole to Lynch in 3 to 4. and he was up.

square after the match. the two started for the
extra hole. The pace had begun to tell on
Lynch and he topped his drive. A splendid
second shot with wooden spoon made good
this misfortune to Lynch. Then, as Travls
lost 2 chance, on the green. they halved in 5.
