Walter J. Travis was beaten in the second ro,,nd
q the metropolitan golf championship at Fox Hills
yesterday by Jerome D. Travers the former inter
scholastic champion. who was himself beaten only
lass week BY Lynn johnson. Of Ridgewood- Travis
was not only beaten; he was overwhelmed. 1t was
IL B-hoie round. and Travis lost by up and 8
70 play.
Nor this the only surprise Of the days play.
B5eII IL Byers, the gold medal winner OF the pre-
v1ous day. was defeated by J. n Rhett. OF the
Crescent Athletic Club by up and to play. and
Harold Wilcox. whose victory IN last years met
TopOitan Championship the surprise Of that
contest and who has held the title until the pres
ent week. was likewise beaten by c. H. Seeley, OF
Wee Burn. Seeley has not been seen in competition
FOR more than year but he held the Connecti-
cut State golf championship for three successive
years prior TO last
Trav1s's overthrow was foreshadowed in his morn
tng match against Birmingham, Of the Wykagyl
COZ Club The two were all even at the four
tenth hole. and Travis by the narrow margin
OF Up and l to play. Against Travers later he
was surprisingly weak for whose game for
years has been q Eynonyme for machneAke ac-
curacy. and whose perfect short game has onset
many faings in distance getting. Perhaps the best
explanation OF his defeat is the physical WEAKNESS
which came from the use of his long shafted clubs
but after the match Travis declared he would con
time 10 use them. ascribing MS defeat TO poor
putting and not to the length Of his shafts
TTavers had the match won on the tenth hole'
having gone out in 80 TO his opponents a. The
