TRAVIS WINS THE GARDEN CITY CHAM

FIRST ANNUAL CONTEST PLAYED IN DRIv-

FIRST ANNUAL CONTEST PLAYED IN DRIv-
ING RAIN-HANDICAP CUP FOR KNAPP.
Walter J. Travis added another trophy to his al
ready formidable collection OF golf cups yesterday
by winning the championship OF the Garden City
Golr Club-the first that this popular organization
mas ever had. No records were broken. but with
ram ana mud to contend with Traviss III for the
thirty-six holes indicates that the champion has
lost nothing OF his cunning since the amateur
tournament last July. Memories of that contest
were sui fresh In the minds OF the players. for the
course was the same that over which Travis
made his record OF 1885, and tees and green's were
unchanged. A total length of 500 yards Is the
championship distance. and this was covered twice
IN the day-a test that few clubs think necessary
1or local match. Yet Travis made 81 in the fore
noon and 81 in the afternoon-a score within five
strokes OF that which gained him the gold
medal on the opening day last July and
Tor these extra strokes the weather was
largely responsible. The place was anything
but garden like. The tees were beds OF oozing
mud. and the rain made the grass the putting
green's stand out like wire nails. The prospect
evidently too dismal for number of the con-
testants. for among the defaulters were De Lancey
