TRAVIS OUT OF IT.
Veteran Golfer Defeated Byers
and Lyon in Trials.

ENGLEWOOD, n. j., July 14.-Wal-
ter j. Travis, the veteran golfer, hay
ing defeated jerome ID. Travers. was
beaten in the semifinuls of the golf
tournament, much to the surprise of
everybody, by Il. NJ. Byers by Il score
of 4 up and 3 to play.
This means that Byers will meet
Lyon in the final at thirty-siX holes TO
decide the amateur championship Of the
United States.
Lyon beat Knowles by 3 up and 4
to play.
An idea of the unusual interest cen
tered in the matches was shown by
the way the gallery gathered. There
was an immense crowd about the club
house and at times the string of auto
mobiles as they wound their way mp
the hill reminded one of u Glidden con
test.
Hugo II. tombstone, the far driver
from Myopla, and Ellis Knowles. a
Yale golfer. were the first of the third
round contestants to get away. They
both used irons from the first tee.
Following this pair came Gilman Z.
Tiffany, the Hudson River Golf asso-
citation champion, and George l.. Lyon
of Toronto. the man who was respon-
sible for the downfall of III. Chandler
Egan. After this pair came Byers and
West and Travis and Travers, the last
pair to leave.
Fully 500 people followed Travers
and travis as they left the first tee.
The latter had the honor and drove a
good ball, but much shorter than the
other. travis only made the edge of
the green on his second and the boy
got well inside of him on the like. The
old man, however. got Il 4. good enough
to win when the boy missed a wee put.
