TRAITS DEFEATS BYERS.
National Title Holder No Match for
the Veteran Golfer.

Hamilton. Mass. Oct 1T.-waIter J. Travis
of the Garden City Golf Club, a former amateur
champion of this country and Great Britain.
won the invitation golf tournament on the My
opia Hunt Club links to-day. The veteran de-
feated the national champion. Eben NJ Byers. of
Pittsburg. in the thirty-sx hole final round by
Z up and to play.
Byers earned the right to compete a final
list by defeating w. P. Smith. of Philadelphia.
In play-off match postponed from last night.
After they had halved the nineteenth hole In 4
it became too dark to continue, and further pro-
ceedngs were deferred until this morning. when
Byers settled all disputes by winning the twen-
tieth hole in to D.
In the final round Travis took the lead at once.
and turning for home UP increased this ad-
vantage to up at the end of the morning
round. Byers frequently got the longer ball
off the tee. but the advantage in this respect
was slight and more than offset by the accurate
approaches and deadly putting of Travis
Byers played better in the afternoon. but 1t
availed him little. as Travis, who continued at
the top Of his game, gave nothing away. The
match ended on the thirteenth green.
This is the most decisive defeat Byers has re-
ceived in years. incidentally it gave Travis an
opportunity to get with Byers. who prior
to this tournament had a record OF three vic
tories over Travis in four meetings.
Their first match the memorable battle
in the third round of the national championship
In I%D2 at Glenview, when Byers after being
down at the turn came home in par figures and
de1eated Travis, who was the title holder at
the time A year later in the national tourna-
ment at the Nassau Country Club Travis re-
versed the decision by defeating Byers in the
final round.
They did not meet again until the semi-final
round of the Metropolitan Golf Association
championship tournament at ST. Andrews last
May when Byers again won. The same pair
ciashed again at EngeWood last July during
the national championship On this occasion
Byers defeated Travis few hours after the lat
ter had put Jerome D. Travers out of the tour
nament. AS the matter now stands Byers still
has a match to the good.
1t is worthy OF mention that all of Ira yis's
defeats have been in eighteen hole matches He
has not lost in important thirty-slx hole
match since the national tournament at ON
