TRAvERs RETAINS GOLF TITLE
National Amateur Champion Easily
Defeats Max Behr,

GARDEN CITY, N. Y, Sept. 19.-Jerome
D. Travers of Montclair. n. j., has de-
Tended his title of national amateur golf
champion against a field of 1873 starters, and
he will retain the honor for another year,
Max H. Behr of Morris County. N. j., at
the Garden City clubs links this afternoon.
Throughout the weeks play the young
champion was in excellent shape and
played the best golf Of his life every day.
Travers was a prime favorite today in the
final as the experts figured that Behr could
not set a pace fast enough for him. Trav-
ers made several mistakes, particularly on
his tee shots, but he invariably made fine
recoveries and at the close of the first half
uS holes) he was 8 up, without showing any
signs of weakening.
Behr held him on many holes, but Trav-
ers always had a bit in reserve when neces-
sary, all through the second half, winning
out on the twenty-ninth hole by s up and Z
to play.
He was the coolest looking person among
the hundreds of golfing enthusiasts who
crowded around the home green when Pres
ident Chauncey OF the United States Golf
association was ready to present the prizes.
The former champion, w. J. Travis, was
there to receive the gold medal for his low
score in the qualifying rounds. and he con-
graduated the young Montclair golfer after
each of them had been given his medal.
Final round for championship, Travers
beat Behr, s up and Z to play.

SOUTH OMAHA COUNTRY CLUB
Members Have Fine Program lame
for the Closing Week.

for the Closing Week.
The last week Of the South Omaha Coun-
try club is going to be a busy one. Tues
day night a vaudeville show will be given
at the club pavilion under the auspices OF
Bruce McCulloch and w. w. Fisher. Fri
day night will be given the last dance or
the season, which will be a harvest home
dance for members only. The men are
requested to appear in overalls and the
women in calico dresses. Most OF the
dances will be old-time dances and a lunch
will be served at $3.50 consisting of dough-
nuts, coffee and pumpkin pie. Mr.. McCul-
loch and Mr.. Fisher will see that the men
are all properly uniformed and Mrs. Ed
Maher and Mrs. Theodore Tillotson will
act in a similar capacity for the women.
This is a new departure and the directors
nave decided no one but members and
their women will be admitted on this even
ing. No visitors will be allowed.
Golf has had a very good season at the
club this year. Floyd Sherwood, who won
the championship last year, won it again
this season. There is only one more game
to be played this year and that is with the
Happy Hollow club at it's grounds. Much
Of the credit for the successful golf season
is due to the work of DIR. w. A. Cox. chair
man Of the golf committee
The tennis tournament is about over and
the finals between Grant Caughey and
Herd Stryker are to be played in the near
future to decide the club championship.
Eight games remain to be played in the
croquet tournament and at present W.. c.
Lambert is in the lead with thirteen games
won and two lost.
The last game of base ball for the season
was played yesterday with the Young Mems
Christian association team. The season
closed with the club having won fourteen
games and losing five, a very creditable
showing considering that the club has
played some of the strongest amateur teams
I'm the twin cities.
President Cheek announces that while the
club is officially closed there will be an
informal entertainment at the pavilion each
Friday evening and that the grounds will
be open for play and the locker rooms open
as long as the nice weather lasts.

he tore some big holes in the lines OF the
opposing teams. Elliott played center with
the freshmen, and this week his work with
the squad pleased Coach Cole.
Thomas Mussen. a 195-pounder from New
York, registered in the university yester-
day and will Join Coles pupils in practice
Monday. He played foot ball with the New
York Athletic club and is said to be a
lightning halfback. Mussen will not be
eligible for the varsity this fall, but ex-
poets to make the team next season.
Training Table Saturday.
A training table will be established at
one Of the Lincoln hotels Saturday and
several OF the Cornhuskers will take their
first meal there that evening. The men
who are sent to the training table will be
required to pay for their board in advance
so that there can be no possible violation
Of the conference rules, which do not allow
foot ball men to receive free board. Last
year this plan was tried at Nebraska and
worked successfully.
The news Of the election of George Capron
as captain of the Minnesota eleven came
as a surprise to Nebraska students. 1t
had been believed here that the Gopher
star was ineligible, for 1t was well known
that he had left school last spring a delin-
quent and that he had not made up his
work during the summer. There, however,
had been a feeling among those well ac'
quainted with the methods of Coach Will
llams Of Minnesota that Capron, upon whom
so much depended last season, would not
be absent from the Gopher lineup this
season.
Capron played quarter for Minnesota last
season and carried his team to victory over
Ames and Nebraska with his remarkable
toe work. Williams knew that without
Capron this year the chances of having a
winning Minnesota eleven would be small.
and he proceeded to get the quarter back
into school.
The Nebraska athletic authorities believe
that Capron is Ineligible this fall and they
may protest his playing in the annual
Cornhusker-Gopher game scheduled for Oc-
! tober II. Since his election as captain,
hints nave been thrown out from other
schools that meet Minnesota this year to
the effect that concerted action may be
taken to make the Gophers explain why
Capron is eligible. 1t is not believed at
Nebraska that Coach Williams can give a
satisfactory explanation.

intend to race in California are getting

Orleans, as in previous years. II Is not
so very far to California for the horse
men with good material and the purses
and stakes at Oakland and Arcadia will
be more worth while the coming season
than ever before. Thomas Fl. Williams
has planned many increases in stakes for
Oakland, and the same is true of the
southern California track
One OF the recruits to California racing
this winter will be II. NJ. Zlegler Of Cir
cinnat, who will race a string Of ten or
twelve 2-year-clds at Los Angeles. Charles
Hughes, who handled the Ziegler horses
for a number of years, has made requisi-
ton for ten stalls al the Arcadia course.
These are now yearlings of high promise
ana they will begin the racing season OF

Pacific's thirty members wore khaki

A favorite stunt of the team was to
stop some one and ask the time. The
passerby would comply, smilingly,
then the whole team would bow sim
This was repeated thousands of times,
and the expression What time is it?"
grew to be a byword which kept Los

Another eye-opener was the fact that
the Southern Californians took twen-
ty-two boxes of choice oranges with
them. In place of carrying axes in
the big parade the Pacific team car
ried canes with pennants bearing the
word Los Angeles" Impaled on the
handle of each cane was a big yellow
orange. The oranges quickly betrayed
who the carriers of the canes were.

ernor James N. Gillett whether he will
order a further inquiry into conditions
at the institution which have already
resulted in the discharge of two hus-

Trustee c. G. Desmond to prevent
any misunderstanding yesterday reit-

investigation is to be hampered by in
reference from the Southern Pacific
political machine.
Mr.. Desmond said:
Il have seen no evidence of such in

have not been approached, either di-
rectly or indirectly, by anybody con-
acted with the Southern Pacific rail-
road on this subject, and I have failed
to observe any such persons attempt

way or the other.
"The investigation is one in which
every good citizen is concerned, and

fcials of the Southern Pacific here
resident to suspect them of being any
thing but good citizens.
