GLENvIEw GOLF COURSE, ILL.,, July
NE. M. Byers, Yale golf champion ia
1900 and 1901, now a member Of the Allie
gheny club Of Pittsburg, today defeated
Champion w. J. Travis, one up at tho
last hole Of the third round, in the match
for the amateur golf championship.
Byers' medal score Of n and Travis rs
arc six and 1--WE under DOGGY, respectively.
Byers won the game after apparently
being hopelessly beaten. He was three
down at the turn, Travis playing perfectly.
But he stuck gamely to It and on the last
nine holes played In form seldom shown
even by veteran professionals. His medal
score for the last nine holes was IS. or
six strikes under DOGGY.
Travis took his defeat like q true sports
man. THAT score tells the story better
than anything l can say" said Travis
after the game. The game Byers put Up
would have won from almost any pro-
fessionai in the country. 1t was un-
beatable." @
Byers defeated Chandler Egan Of Exmoro
In a brilliant fifteen game. His medal
score was so. Walter Egan disposed Of
George Ormiston Of Pittsburg in the
morning round, but in turn was beaten
in the afternoon by +. o. Reinhart Of
Baltusrol. Percy r. Pyne Of Princeton
was defeated by George H. Leslie Of
skokie and Leslie was defeated in the
afternoon by Or. D. P. Fredericks Of OH
City. He had the game won, but with the
driving rain Of a sudden thunderstorm
pouring like a cataract on his back he
missed a two-foot put for q half on the
eighteenth green and the Pennsylvania
won the eighteenth hole and the match.
travis Defeats Ormiston.
Former Champion Travis. though out Of
the contest for the championship, had the
consolation Of beating ormiston In the

for the lowest score In the qualifying
round. ormiston could do no better than
90, while Travis turned in a score Of 81,

the third in succession he made during
