Iakawood Y j. Nov. 90 (SpecaD--Travfs and
new records practically synonymous TERMS
among golf players nowadays. and the sport mas
got to the point where the last is Impossible unless
coupled with the first. The Lakewood tournament
has not escaped tie universal rule In his round To-
day over the heightened eighteen hole course tne
amateur champion eclipsed all previous recoros
with a score of Is. Under the conditions Whch pre-
vailed this represents absolutely faultess gof lt
is four strokes under the best previous record mace
bv Jasper Lynch fortnight ago, and though estap-
,shed at match play the fact that the champion
holed out at every green gives the fofce Oh an
orthodox stroke play card to the performance
II was known that Travis had quietly made up
his mind to beat the old record, but when the
morning opened with frequent furries of snow 1t
was thought impossible for him to accomplish MS
end The snow, however. did not amount 10 much
At no time did II hide the turf. and the speclai
consignment of red coored golf balls that had
been held readiness for just such a contingency
remained unopened. In the forenoon Travis sue
ceeded only in lowering his own medal winning
score OF Thanksgiving Day by three strokes Ihis
round put him on edge for the afternoon match
where he was paired with s W. Cooke, of the Hill
andale Golf Club. Beginning with phenomenal
run of fours he rounded the ninth green in 49, and
completed the homeward trip in g. total of 10
His card was:
Out -..-..-----..:...,..a ! 5Sa-75
As contarison with the work of two of the
leading professionals. of the country it may be
added that this score is "a stroke under the pro-
fessionaI record, held Jointly by Willie Norton
and Horace Rawns, both of whom played the
course when it 80 yards shorter than at
present.
The performance has had the effect of stimulating
the interest which threa tened flag when Douglas
lost his chance of meeting the champion yesterday
Instead of shaping itself for match between
these two rivals the tournament has resolved into
briIli ipdi
that has yet been seen on an American links and
as such is proving one of most attractive ever
given in Lakewood.

Worth of the Lakewood club. in the first round
and the latter beaten in tame match by 3 up
