CLEVELAND, July lo.-Golf history rspeated
itself on the Euclid links In the amateur
championship qualifying ound to-day, when
Walter J. Travis. by the aid Of a second round
in II. won the low score prize with ito. It
was the lowest card ever returned In a U. s.
q. A. qualifying round. Travis made q now
competitive eighteen and thirty-sixtb hole ANA
teur record. but VIII Anderson did 90 and I4+in
the Western open at Euclid In 1908. To cap
his good play. Travis landed In the softest
end Of the draw for the frst match play round.
More than one in the gallery predicted that
he would win out.
IL may be Travis redivivus this year. as II
was with John Ball. Jr.. In the British cham
pionsbip. Travis won only by q stroke. for
W. I. West. q Philadelphia on the Princeton
team. also had a II. and a total OF i4z.
This card was posted about noon, and until
Travis came In more than three hours later
West was the hero.
The statisticians, who are as common
at golf courses as the hazards, noted that
It was the nth time Travis has won the low
score prize at an amateur championship.
At Garden City In 1900 and at Atlantic City
the next year he followed up by winning
the title. Al Glenvtew In 1902 he won the
score prize after q tie with Ormiston. and he
won Il again last year. but on both occasions
lost In the match play to e. n. Byers. The
dual recollection was a sweet one to Byerse
friends. for he qualified nicely by the aid
OF . N after having been on the ragged edge
the first day with IS.
With few exceptions there was Improvement
all down the line to-day on the first days
scores. the lack Of wind being q helpful factor.
Macdonald. the nrst U. 8. G. A. champion.
was one Of the exceptions. With an SO he
was seven strokes worse than on Tuesday.
This brought the veteran into a tie at IoS with
Childs. Frazer. H. {. Fownes and Archie
Reid. the i've being equal for the four last
places. Macdonald topped his second into
the bunker and so dropped into the n%on-quah-
flying set. The hundreds on the links. who in
cluded many women in bright summer cos
tunes. marched IN q solid phalanx to see the
play of Of the tie. which was settled at the
f1rst hole. -
John D. Rockefeller was on the links in the
morning. following Travers and Chandler
Egan for nine holes. When Egan ran down a
20 foot put at the sixth green Rockefeller
swung up his straw hat i'm enthusiasm. and in
