|TRAVERS CHAMPION
YOUTH LANDS THE NATIONAL All
 ATEUR TITLE.
willian T. Graham Played Plsekily r Dut Waa Simply Outclassed by .- BFiIliaacy ef Nineteen-
 Year old Boy.

Cleveland, O., July 13.-Playing the same unbeaten golf that has character ixed his play since the beginning or the tournament, Jerome K. Travers. the l9-year -old golfer of Montclair. N. J., today won the national amateur golf championship from William T. Naham of Jersey City.
 Travers won a decisive victory. six up, five to play. He was two up at the end of the morning with eighteen holes and gradually increased his lead. The end came at the thirty first hole when Travers after dropping . l7b- yard shot from the cup. ran the ball on the next stroke to within less chan a foot of tts goal and bolted the little put after Graham had narrowly missed a long put that would have prolonged the gamea Tfavers' medal score in the eighteen holes play in the morning was seventy five. Graham took seventy efaht in this mornings. thirty-e eight for the first nine holes in the afternoon and was one over bogey on the last four holes.
 Graham played a plucky game. He was simply outclassed by golfer who Chauncey of the United States Golf Association, in presenting the golf championship medal. gives the finest exhibition of golf that has ever been seen since .he amateur championship tournaments were started"
 Travers played beautiful golf today. almost as perfect in fact, as that shown in yesterdays sensational game with W. K. Wood He was in trouble oc. |casionally but his iron shots several times won him holes when he had ap- parently lost; but once did he display poor judgment. That was on the sew enth hole Of the afternoon play. The distance to this hole Is 426 yards with a big bunker guarding the green thir- ty-five yards from the cup. Graham took chance after his long drive and brassied over the bunker a ball that carried more than 200 yards.
 Travers tried the same shot, but could not get the distance, although he made a perfect stroke and his ball plunked into the bunker with his shot losing him the hole Travers now holds the national, metropolitan and New Jersey championships. He has won the metropolitan thrse times.

RENTS GO SOARING
MOBILT TENANTS WILL. PAY MORE
 IN NOVEMBER,
Value Of Property On North Side Given An Impetus By Opening Of
 The New Depot.

Mobile. July 13.-(Special. .)-Between now and August 1 there will be no Et- tie wailing and gnashing of teeth among the renters of property -on the north side Of the city. in the business districts of Dauphin and Royal streets and In various other portions of the city where rents are going to take a skyward leap about November 1 next.
 Notices will be sent out some time during this month or in the early part Of August by real estate dealers and property owners notifying hundreds of tenants that their rents will go up fall.
 Already a good many tenants have had direct or indirect notification of the coming increase and the chorus of complaint is beginning to swell. Some of the raises will be by easy stages and some will push around the ten per cent mark. '
 prominent real estate man when asked about the rumored jump in rents answered readily that in certain DOT tions of'the city there would be con siderable raise affecting practically all the property is those districts.
 "The building of the new depot has so increased the value of real estate on the north side of the city" he said. that rents will go up on most of the property lying between St. Francis and Beauregard streets on the north and south and Royal and Jackson streets on the east and west. Then. too. the remarkable advance in the value of property in the retail district will cause general raise along Royal and Dau- phin streets. However. l don't think the advance is what could be called general one. that is. affecting the whole city.
 Individual tenants who have been told what to expect when the first of NoNVember rolls around have already begun to say things and when the whole flood of notices Is sent out therell be music in the air.
 Its a mistake. I think, great mistake" said one property owner. "The raise last year was enough for a while and l don't see the necessity of

 The depot has been completed sev- eral months, but owing to a number of inJunctions which property owners near the station secured against the company. restraining the railroad from closing Vine and Lafayette Streets by building cement sidewalks across these streets, the building has not been opened before. These cases arc still in the courts, but the railroad company has decided to use the depot and allow the streets to remain as they are for the present
