TRAVERS TO TRY FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Believed That the American Has Good
Chance to Carry off First
Honors on Foreign
Golf Links

NEW YORK, April 2S-With Jerome
D. Travers, the American amateur
champion, in Scotland practicing for the
British championship, which takes
place at Muirfield May "a to %, the at
tention of all our players is naturally
centered on his performances.
At this time the details of the Muir
field course may be of interest. These
figures are taken from the American
Golfer:
7 R2e 20. $50 ss 80 .6 ,s SO 81 sae 9St
Par. - IS
Hole 10 II - u u T. j. 3 u 49, - P pSt;
Total length, 1852 yards. Par, 721s.
They seem at variance with the fol-
lowing from the London Field, which
says:
"The total length of Muirfeld is now
6194 yards. 1t is curious to note, how
ever, that even with the recent extern
sions Muirfield will have eleven holes
between 300 and 400 yards, even holes
of this average length occurring in the
first half round of nine holes. The
longest hole, the eleventh, is Az yards,
and the shortest is the fourteenth, with
1873 yards.'
Those familiar with Mr.. Travers'
game look forward with pleasurable an
ticipation to what he will do on those
eleven holes between 300 and 400 yards.
That deadly driving iron of his direct
at the pin for anything from 1870 to 200
yards should tell its story. If on his
game, he will put the amateur record
for the green to at least SO, with
possible 6S. On distances there are only
two holes on which he cannot get the
green in two under normal conditions.
To offset these there are short ones.
Travers will drive from 220 to 260
yards, according to the going, and
straight down the course. On his Sec
ond, with mashie, jigger. mid-iron, cleek
or brassy, he can generally get near
enough to the pin for chance to go
down in one putt.
AS putter there is probably no play
er in the world more accurate than
Travers when on his game. Golfers have
seen him frequently hole out from dis
tances of over fifty feet, and he is
deadly on those from two yards to fif-
teen feet.
His nerve and courage have been
proved in many a hard battle against
Walter j. Travis, such as the semi-final
round of the last championship, when
he stood down with to play and
won out by up, by taking four con-
secutive holes in better than par figures
4, 4, and 3.

MAN WHO SHOT WIFE
IS VIOLENT IN COURT

While being examined in Police JUS
tice Chambers court yesterday morn
ing on a charge of attempting to muir
der his wife, whom he shot in the
presence of a number of persons at
Sixth and Main street before sending a
bullet into his own head, March rs,
Edwin G. Martin became mentally de-
ranged, and his actions were so vio-
lent that he had to be overpowered
and taken to the receiving hospital
This unlocked for conduct terminated
the hearing, which was continued by
Justice Chambers, after fixing Mar
tins bonds at $4,000.
Martin was strapped to cot IN the
receiving hospital, where he continued
to rave for some time before quieting
down. He will be kept there a short
time and if his condition does not i'm
prove he will be returned to the county
hospital, from where he was discharged
several days ago. 1t is thought Mar
tins sudden violence is due to the
wound in his head.
Mrs Martin, who was seriously
wounded by her irate husband, is i'm
proving and it is thought she soon Will
recover. The shooting of the woman
and the subsequent attempt of the hus-
band to commit suicide are said TO have
/been the results OF a violent quarrel
over domestic affairs, which caused
Mrs. Martin to leave her husband.

TO OPEN CRICKET
SEASON AT VINEYARD
Grounds Are in Excellent Condition.
Efforts Made to Induce Santa
Monica to Organize
Team

The first practice of the season of
1909 in the ranks of the Los Angeles
Cricket club will be held this afternoon
at Vineyard station, ON the Santa
Monica line. The teams will be cap
tanned by Banford and Packman. The
grounds have been placed in excellent
condition for the opening game. A
grandstand and club house to cost in
the neighborhood of $500 have been
built for the use of the players.
The Los Angeles club directors have
secured the services of a groundkeeper,
who will keep the wicket in perfect
condition and will be on the grounds
three days a week-Thursday, Satur-
day and Sunday The net win be in
place for those who desire to practice.
Many members of the Cricket associa-
ton are requested to turn out this
afternoon, as the team will be selected
for the opening league games, which
will start May 9.
All persons interested in the welfare
of cricket are invited to be present if
they desire to join this association. The
league this year will be composed of
the following clubs: Wanderers, lin
garis and the Marylebones 1t Is
hoped that the Santa Monica citizens
will organize a club to play during the
summer months, SO as to complete a
four-club circuit. If they are unable
to find the material they are heartily
invited to associate themselves with the
various clubs of Los Angeles.
Last year the Santa Monica team
won the challenge trophy from the
Los Angeles club, and the Los Angeles
players have great faith in the sea-
siders joining the league, so that they
may bring back the cup to their own
organization.
Arrangements are made to have the
south play the north before the season
closes, but no definite dates have been
arranged.
