Atlantic City, n J., Nov 1.-THE metropoli-
tan district is ably represented in its one re-
naming survivor in the first division in the
open golf tournament of the Country Club of
Atlantic City in progress here. Walter j.
Travis Of Garden City. won both his matches
with little effort to-day, but owing to the luck
of the draw compelled to dispose OF clup-
mates In both instances.
When the field appeared for the first match
play round this morning, a gale of wind swept
across the course making anything like normal
plav impossble on all save a couple of the
holes the contestants had to contend with
either cross or a head wind Every one has
a chance to keep in the game, for there are
beaten eight divisions and an eighteen hole
medal play handicap scheduled for tomorrow
Starting out in the morning Travis op-
posed to w. S. Edey, of Garden City. the old
wing shot. Off the tee the former champion
got the longer ball, and his usual deadly short
game left Edey little chance to do more than
get occasional halves. He never won hole.
After being up at the turn Travis won by Is
up and D to play. His only bad mistake was
topped drive going to the seventh hole There
was a bite to the wind that made the fingers
tingle but Travis with characteristic fore
thought fortified himself with pair of gloves.
The best match in the first round had F. o.
Horstman and Howard w. Perrin principals
They are two of Philadelphias strongest play
ers, but of late the honors have fallen to Horst
man. The encounter to-day was no exception
though rather unexpected after Perrin turned
for home up. Horstman won the tenth and
eleventh holes in 3's and after Ealve in 6 at
the 500-yard twelfth, took the next four holes
in par figures, making him up with . to play
They halved the last two holes, leaving Horst
man winner by l UP. He came home in So
clever work under the conditions. Their cards

In the afternoon Travis met his old clubmate
and antagonist, Arden NJ. Robbins 1t is A
matter of record that Robbins usually has the
hard luck to meet Travis in nearly every tour
ney in which they both compete. Weak putting
cost Robbins several holes. so that the veteran
won by D up and TO play. Finishing out the
bye holes, he came home in So giving him a
