As TO GOLF.

W. J. Travis, the only American
who has ever won the Amateur Ma
tional Golf Championship of the Unit
ed States three times and the only
foreign-b bred player who has ever won
in its entire history the English ANA
teur Championship, is not only an
American but a self taught golfer.
Although Mr. Travis was born in Aus
tralia he came to this country when a
very small child. and as he was
man of over thirty-f1ve years of age
when he began to play golf he may
most surely be claimed an American
golfer. Mr.. .Traviss record has been
a most wonderful one
1t was only about eight years ago
that he began to play and he was long
past the age when, according to the
DRY, man must begin to golf in or
der to be a great player. Mr.. Travis
made his first appearance as cham
pionship aspirant in 1898 when, after
qualifying fourth, he reached the semi
final round of match play. being de-
feated then by Findlay S. Douglas. the
ultimate winner, by eight up and six
to play.
In 1899 Douglas once more pat out
Travis in the semi-final round, but
this time by only two up and one to
play.
In 1900 Travis had his revenge, for, !
after leading the field in the qualify |
ing round he went on and won the
championship in most impressive style.
defeating Douglas in the finals by two
up in the most sensational finish ever
seen on golf course in America.
He also captured the Metropolitan
Championship.
In 1901 he lost the Metropolitan
through i'll health, Charles H. Seeley,l
the Connecticut State League Cham
pion, defeating him in the semi-finals;
but a. trip to England recuperated his
strength and he once more captured
the amateur championship.
Douglas, in the semi-f1nal round,
made him play thirty-eight holes. but
the title holders superior nerve and
steadiness gave him the victory. 1t is
these two points as well as .phenom-
email putting ability which make him
the really grand golfer he is
In 1902 he was beaten in the semi
finals which were that year at eigh-
teen holes only, but it was generally
conceded that he would have won had
he match been at thirty-sfx holes In

avorite and Won every match in DASH

his competitors, but that outside of

there being a difference of only four

The challenge cup returns again to
Honolulu. but it can be depended up
on that there viii be some very stren-
uous practice by the members of the
HaIeiwa Golf Club during the next
three weeks. A number OF players
profited by suggestion made recently
in these columns going down to Hale
iva Saturday and thus having an op-
portunity to play on the links before
the match as this is permissible by
the local ruling.

NJ. Boyd, the then holder of the cup,
filled 1t with amber fluid, and it was
passed around the festive board with
many a laugh and jest. On the even

ner followed suit, insisting that all
contestants and their wives and sweet
hearts should drink to the cup of the

in the neighborhood of Pomeroy-
brought a man to Pittsburg, CON-
cealed in the hold of the boat, and
he is now in a plaoe-.run by four
men originally from your town
all steamboatmen; two of them are
brothers, and are stewards, one of
them is called Tom; another is 9
steamboat engineer whose first
name is Wiley-think his last
name is Smith; the fourth one is
called Billy McFerguson. The
man, whom 1 think is your missing
man. appears to be 81 or 6S years
old (they all address him as "Uncle
Jimmy; he is dark haired, with
dark mustache turning gray, has
thin prominent nose. is active and
wiry, spare built, and little un-
der average size. He takes drink
or two occasionally, when one of
his peculiar motions is to stoop
down and turn up his trouser
legs; when he becomes very talk
'ative and frequently refers to peo-
pie in some locality that he seems
familiar with as "The Point" and
always ends by saying that there's
only one real towboat mate afloat,
and that's Billy McGufin." The
people that are holding him are
running an amusement place on
the order not exactly of a Pitts
burg speak easy" but something
of that style, and are exhibiting
their "Unole Jimmy" as a Japanese
cook, and former "chef'' on the
Mikado's flagship. and he's proving

him. I can't give anything more
definite, because my detective work
is for the Japsnese government
that's how I stumbled on to Mr.

him. They are known on the in
side as the Give Roman Brothers.
Hope you will succeed in bring

hood OF Pittsburg again soon and
may be able to give you something
more to the point.
