KEEN MATCHES THE RULE
'Mr Mott and Percy Platt Go
Down Before the Wizard Of
Garden City.
rBv Telegapa to The Trioune- ;

roent resumed to-day over the links OF the
Country Club of Lakewood They were;
Walter ]. Travis. Of Garden city; P. W.
" hiftemore. Of Boston, Findlay s Doug
las. of Nassau, and George T. Brokau, Of
Garden City They will meet as named in
the morning.
Until yesterday whittemore was .
stranger to Lakewood. but nOW that the
Country Club Of BrookIine player has been
seen at match play he is regarded with
greater respect than ever There Is HOth-
ing attractive about his style. for the erst-
while Harvard athlete depends entirely
unon a half swing This does not handicap
him. however, so far as getting distance is
concerned for his powerful wrists and fore
arms are brought into play in manner
calculated to make less sturdy individual
envious.
Whittemore competed in the national
amateur championship tournament at
Englewood in 1906 and was put out by II.
Chandler Egan. The Brookline mans game
has improved steadily since then. and MS
many successes last summer over courses
in the vicinity of Boston were well earned
Without doubt Travis will be keen to get
back at Whittemore for the defeat received
at the hands of the Brookline captain in
the HIdl GOuDu OI Iiie ESSEX COQDIE tDuE0d-
ment last summer. That Travis is NOT
likely to be caught off his game was shown
again to-day. when he played in his best
form both morning and afternoon. He was
especially deadly in the first round match
with Richard Mott the Riverton golfer.
who captured the chief cup at Atlantic City
in the spring. Travis never made a mis-
take, going out in the par figures Of IS He
was then so far UP on Mott that the final
outcome was a foregone conclusion. As il
to make assurance doubIy sure Travis
reeled off the next three holes in , and 4.

Travis. after luncheon faced Percy
Platt. lad in his teens living at Deal
OFF the tee this youth got distances that
made the gallery gasp and Travis almost
invariably had 20 play the odd This ex-
cepttonal driving gave Platt an advantages
throughout the long outward journey. but
when he lost the eighth hole he stood one
down The boy won the next. however, -
that the pair turned for home all square
1t was then generally conceded that
Travis's almost machine-like short game
would gain the day on the inward nine,
which is more than seven hundred yards
less than the first half They haIved the
first waite hole in three. but the Garden
City man then broke away by popping"
in a two at the short eleventh. Travis
never let up thereafter. winning the
twelfth and thirteenth. haIving the four
teenth and settling the match with three
at the fifteenth hole where he stood four
up with three TO play.
In the morning Platt eliminated c y.
Phillips the Atlantic City golfer. who re-
turned - in the medal round. An un-
l sual incident occurred in this match
when Platt got a three at the 240-yard
thirteenth. yet lest Phillips sinking long
put for :: two.
Doubtless the most spectacular play in
the scoring line was the golf shown oy
Douglas on the homeward nine against
Arden VI Robbins. of Garden City. Going
out neither man could gain an advantage.
but Douglas. thanks to a happy putting
vein. completely overwhelmed his Oppen-
ept from that point. The Scot began With
a two at the tenth and then worked in four
consecutive threes. He had a four at the
fifteenth and Won the match by up and
