Man 5 Up and 4 to Play-Hon-

Work at Tees.

| New York, Sept. 5.-For the third time
Walter ]. Travis. representing the Gar
den City Golf Club, has won the amateur
golf championship Of the United States.
He won his third victory to-day in the
final 36-hole round of the national
tournament on the links Of the Nassau
Country Club by five up and four to play.
Eben NJ. Byers OF the Allegheny Country
Club Of Pittsburg was the runner-up.
Byers was also the runner-up last year,
being beaten by Louis N. James Of Chica-
go. who was defeated in the first round
of the present tournament.
Byers beat Travers In last years cham
pionship by one hole. but the veteran
champion of two preceding years had his
revenge to-day.
Travis played superior golf and while
tees honors were about even. Travis was
Tar ahead Of his young opponent In ap-
preaching, and putting. He approached
with machinelike accuracy and the sure
ness of his putting at from to 10 feel
was a feature.
When Travis and Byers started in the
for the first half Of the cham cham
around the first tee. The morning was
close and foggy.. Byers had the honor
and drove good ball, but Travis carried
further. Byers missed six-foot putt for
a three and the hole was halved in 4.
The next was halved. and Travis won
the third hole in g. Byers squared ac-
counts on the next green, as Travis drove
In the sandpit. The next was halved, and
Byers then won two In succession. He
got the short seventh hole, 161 yards, In
two straights From the tee he laid his
ball within six inches of the cup.
This gave the Pittsburg golfer q lead of
two over the champion. but his superiority
was not to last long. By winning the
ninth Travis finished the first nine holes
of the morning round one down.
The champion then gave a grand exhi-
bition OF his cool, steady play and won
four holes in succession. leading Byers by
three holes on the thirteenth green. On
the ne green Byers holed out 5o-yard
mashie approach from high grass, win
ming in to for Travis.
Better long work gave Byers the next
hole in 20 s, and the Pittsburg golfer
was now only one down with 8 left to play
HOPES REVIVE.
The hopes of his friends began to re-
vive, but they were doomed to bitter dis
appointment. Miserable putting by Byers
lost him the sixteenth and seventeenth
holes. In each case he lost the chance to
halve the hole with 5-foot puts. He drove
into the bunker on the home hole, and
Travis won that also. finishing with the
substantial lead OF four holes for the
first eighteen holes Of the first round.

Last Years Official Re-engaged
to Handle the Cote Bril-
liante Eleven.
SAYS SQUAD WILL BE LIGHT.
Believes That an Average of 145
Pounds Will Represent the
Teams Weight-Practice
to Soon Commence.

Doctor D. c. Todd will again coach the
Christian Brothers College team, the
management of the institution having re-
engaged him to attend to their football
prospects this season. From all appear
ances, the Brothers will have a strong,
but light. team.
Sizing up the material now at the col
lege, Doctor Todd believes that 145 or $50
pounds will be close to the average of his
eleven this season. Many Of last seasons
heaviest men have gone, but the fast ends
and strong halves OF last year are again
In line.
Roberts has returned and will play CEN
ter. Hastidt is expected back to play at
quarter Riordan will serve as full back
and will captain the team. Brockmeyer
will play left half and Jordan will be on
hand as one of the guards. Turner and
Downes will return as end men. while
Bartlin, Schultz and Kaufman, utility
men OF last season. will also be back.
In his material that gives promise of de-
velopment. Doctor Todd has Carroll, 10
FOUNDER. who is credited with being very
fast; Mccartney. Behrens of the college
track team; Harley and Baker. Behrens
and Harley will weigh about 15o pounds
each. while Baker is about 1885,
Longtnotu VIII not play this season, 1t
is said. His speed will be missed from
the team: Both Jacksons win be absent,
as will Brooks, the heavy man of last
year. Trainer Grover and Coach Todd
will start work on the new eleven Tues
day afternoon.
st. Louis University will be handled by
Martin Delaney and the team gives pros
pect Of considerable weight this year.
Owing to the junction Of Marion-Sims with
the university, the medical college stu
dents will be enabled to play in the uni
versity colors. This will give a fair
groundwork Of players.
Heuman and Bailey have been gradu-
ated but SHUTTLE. Caldwell. Campbell and
Lindsey will return. SHUTTLE will likely
play quarter. while Caldwell will probably
serve as captain. He was elected to that
post last year. before the medical college
was Joined to the university.
W. A. Murphy will be manager of the
university team and Brother Eleazer will
attend to athletics at Christian Brothers
College. While the schedule Of neither
college has been arranged, there Is every
probability of the Thanksgiving Day game
being played as last year.
st. Louis University has not yet selected
training grounds, but It may utilize
5portsman's Park as 1t did last season.

Travis's 70 made new amateur record
for the course In competition. He did Y
week ago in practice. His chief superi-
ority over Byers was in his almost in
vincible approaching and putting.
The final half OF the round started in
the afternoon. with Travis four up. The
first two holes were shalved. and long
put gave Travis the next. Byers took the
fifth. 4oo yards In four, outclassing Travis
this time in reaching the green. Four
heats were thsn halved. leaving Travis

chance. but by weak putting the latter

won the tenth hole In four from 12-foot

laying Travis a stymie. Accurate ap-
preaching gave Travis the twelfth hole,
returning him to his lead by five. He
