at the end of the first half of the match
Travis had the champion one down on
the eighteenth green.
The afternoon play was for the greater
part in favor of Travis. but when the
young champion reached the thirty second
hole and found himself two down he
braced UP and to the end of the match he
played all the golf of which he is capa-
BILE.
He simply moved down the veterans
lead. taking the last four holes in the
grand golf and finishing up with three to
six on the home green. the veterans ball
having rolled into a sand trap and the
strokes being Appropriated.
The other pair, Behr and TIerreshoff
had close contest all the way, which
eventually had to be decided on an extra
hole, Behr winning the additional hole by
3 to 4, and the match by 1 up. Sum-
