the races.
Decidedly the feature of the race, be-

it was here that tCouble was expected,
but it did not come. Several times the

His Defeat of Travis Excellent:

Sensational

NEW YORK, Nov 2S-The 1873 season
OF golf was the best known since tbs
game secured a foOthold on this side
OF the water fifteen years ago Aside
from the almost continuous string OF
open and invitation tournaments this
year, the various championships proved

when one or the hOmebreds VIII sue
coed In breaking through the Scottish
line and win the coveted title.
Closely following the open came the
amateur at Garden City, where jerome
| Travers so ably defended his title. The
young man, who only a few months ago
! celebrated his twenty-first birthday, -
without doubt the strongest amateur
golfer playing the game here today. He
is not only a genius when IL comes 10
playing the strokes. but he is master
Of tactics, and is full OF resources
Excellent Class.
The critical match of the recent cham
Dionship at Garden City was between
Travers and Walter J. Travis, and it Is
doubtful II q finer match was ever
pulled OF between two leading amateurs
at thirty-six holes. If the champion
could be prevailed upon 10 cross the
water. taking with him several OF the
best American amateurs, one OF the
number might have the distinction OF
duplicating the feat accomplished By
Travis at Sandwich IN 1904.
