MOntcIair Player has Made
Brilliant t Record This Sea-
son, Winning Three Titles

Only ore more golf tournament. the an
nual Lakewood fixture, will be held before
the competitive season in the North ends.
In many respects the season has been re-
markable. Tournaments were more nu-
merous than ever, while all records for
numbers OF starters were broken when 202
players drove off at Deal in the qualifying
found of the August tournament.
At Atlantic City in the spring the anna
teurs also gathered over 100 strong, quail
flying In six sixteens. So many Journeys
were held during the fall that conflicting
dates were unavoidable. From the time
Walter J. Travis and Jerome ID. Travers
met in their sensational final at Garden
City, in April, up to the present keen
matches have been in order, and 1t Is a-so
worthy of mention that Travers and Fred
Herreshon upheld the reputation of the
East by winning majority Of the tourna-
ments.
The work of Travers was especially bril-
liant as he included IN his winnings three
championships-the national, metropolitan
and New Jersey. Following is list of
open and invitation tournaments in the
metropolitan district, including Atlantic
City, and a summary Of the more import
ant championships, showing medal score,
