Walter Travis Plays Phenomenal
Golf and Smashes Records.
CRESCEUS' GAME
RACE

A special from New York says: "The plan
club in New York-to put first-class team
in the field and make 1t winner from the
start is a good one,' says veteran. ut Is
dictated by wisdom. founded on common
sense. and shows clearly and Enthusiastically
that the men back of the scheme know
what they are doing. Had this plan been
adopted by the National League four or
five years ago. when almost every National
League team outside of New York was
banded against President Freedman of New
York, there would have been no American
League teams in eastern cities today.
President Freedman found the National
League suffering from species of dry
rot. He tried to infuSe business principles
into it. He pointed out the way to success,
but majority of his associates In the
league We're blind with the blindness of
those who would not see He insisted that
when he tried to buy the services of star
players he found that these players were
held at prices which made him wonder
whether he was in search of gold mine or
q ball tosser.
''At last the league came to it's senses.
and an attempt was made to build up a
team in New York but the league did not
come to it's senses soon enough to prevent
the American League from getting foot
ing in the east. Now the Americans are
storming New York-the citadel of the Ma
tional League. Should they establish a
team here the National League will have
the biggest and hardest fight of it's exist
ence on it's hands-a fight which could have
been averted by the exercise of a little
common sense at the time when the New
York club was made a plaything of by the
men who now will cry out to 1t for saliva

ment of the Westbrook Golf Club, near
Great River, l.. 1. Wednesday he won the
gold medal for the best score in the quail
flying round at medal play, making the four
rounds of the nine-hole course, thirty-six
holes in ALL in 160 strokes.
Yesterday in the first and second rounds
at eighteen holes match play he made the
unprecedented score Of 154 strokes for the
thirty-six holes, winning both of his
matches in seventy seven strokes each
time This Is the best performance, either
amateur or professional, at thirty-six holes
ever made on this side of the Atlantic
1t is the first time that forty has bee,,
beaten on each of the nine-hole rounds
over course of standard length In the
United States.
The regular playing length of the West
brook links is 1852 yards, but in order to
make the course more difficult for this
tournament some of the tees have been
set back, so that the actual playing lenpt h
over which Mr. Travis played was 3O11
yards This change brings the course mn
to. the standard playing length of the
championship links abroad, and the record
which Travis made yesterday is unprece-
dented, as 1t was twenty-six under "f1yes,'
or, in other words ten over "fours.''

found reliable and punctual.
On Tuesday he went out to collect en-
checks and drafts received by his bank,
the sum being Jvariously stated at from
$4,000 to $50, ,000.s' He failed to return to the

Armitage had carried. containing all the
missing checks And drafts except s., ,sg6 IS,
which may be the actual cash or negotta-

1t is argued BY the officers, that if Armi-

returned the wallet. On the contrary, they
have learned that on Tuesday night he col

Shortly before midnight Hufford was
taking lunch In the hotel cafe, when a
crowd of strange men entered. apparently
intoxicated. They passed several remarks
which Hufford took as insults, and lac
hurled heavy glass at one of them and
closed in for a fist encounter. At this juno

in to separate the participants in the bat
