CHAMPION TRAVIS
MEETS HIS MATCH
Omission, of Pittsburg. Wins
From International Playes
at Baltusrol

SHORT HILLS, N. j.. Sept. S.--Many
surprises occurred during the progress of
the national amateur golf championship
tournament, which began last Tuesday
on the links of the Baltusrol Golf club,
but the most sensational event came this
afternoon when Walter j. Travis, of Car
den City, was defeated by George A..
Ormiston OF Pittsburg. 1t was match
that caused great deal of interest and
the two players were followed by a long
gallery OF men and women prominent in
Soff Both men played steadily, but each
had bad periods. the luck of the game
being fairly divided
Ormiston should have won the seventh
hole, but Travis laid him stymie which
the Pittsburger failed to negotiate. At
the ninth hole Ormiston laid stymie for
Travis, but the former champion played
1T beautifully by jumping his ball over
his opponents. and it fell into the hole.
OImiston got down a very long putt on
the next hole and playing right along
was dormie two when he tied for the
seventeenth.
Both drove well. but OI1niston made a
remarkable cleek shot. the ball striking
the grassy bank bordering the green and
u caromed across. rolling slowly until
it fell INTO the cup. Travis did not know
that the hole had been Won and his iron
shot struck the same bank about a yard
further on. getting tie which made it
poSSipie for him to go down in three.
Both Are Astonished
When the players reached the green
both were astonished when Ormiston' S
cadd1e stopped and picked his ball out of
the cup. This won the match for the
Pittsburger by three up and one to play.
Travis congratulated him, saying: We'll,
now. no man could play with a hope to
win against such fine work as that"
This is Ormiston's fourth national tour
nament. and the first one he has won.
Tomorrow he will meet Frederick Her
reshoff, of the Ekwanok club. Manches-
ter. Vt, and this should be a close match
as HerreshofT is playing in excellent form.
