West Brook in the decisive match, and
incidentally squaring accounts with his
youthful rival, who won the tournament
over the same course last fall.
Travis made the round in 20, as against
So for Herreshoff, but at match play the
contest was unusually close, hanging in
doubt until the home hole had been
played, where Travis won by one up The
fact that thirteen of the eighteen holes
were halved gives an evidence Of how
stubbornly the contest was fought.
W. w. Conover Of Deal won the beaten
eight cup in the first division BY de-
feating Bryce Evans Of Boston on the
twentieth green in the final round. w..
K Gillett Of Wykagyl won the second
sixteen cup from Harry Ausopp of New

Travis never played more brilliantly
than during his home journey against
Whitney. A two at the tenth started the
veteran and he reeled off hole after hole
in faultless fashion. winning on the sew
enteenth green by a three and one mar
gin. Even with a five at the home hole
Travis got a thirtytwO. Whitney, who
never played better in his life, got thir-

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

Umpire Billy Evans was severely hurt
by a foul tip in yesterdays game. and
only the fact that he wears a spe-
cially patented shinguard saved him
from an injury which would have dis
sbled him surely for a considerable
period, If not permanently He was of
ticiating behind the plate and Dixie
Walker was at bat. when Vaughn turned
loose a high fast one. Walker swung at
the ball and topped it just enough to
send IL downward at a wicked slant
Evans did not have time to dodge and
the ball struck him fairly on the knee
He WINGED from the pain, but after a mo-
ment's delay ordered the game to proceed,
and not until he was changing his blue
uniform suit for street clothes did he
realize how narrow had been his escape
Examination showed that the shinguard,
although made of the toughest of leather
had been crushed as though made of
rasteDoard. Evans is hobbing around to-
day, but his knee is puffed like a CATCH

gained q victory over Frank Picato of

uled six-round fight at the National
Athletic Club. Cannon sent Picato fiat
on his back in the fifth with a left
swing to the jaw. and although the
round had but four seconds to go, the
referee stopped the fight before the
bell rang. Picato did not show the
form expected and his work was a
disappointment to the crowd He was
unable to guard against Gannon's slow
left. and it was only his gameness that
enabled him to last until the fifth
round. Picato had the better of the
first round, but in the subsequent
rounds the fight was all Gannon's. The
Pittsburger sent the Californian to the
floor both in the second and third
rounds. The bell saved him in the SEQ
ond round from a probable knockout

OMAHA, Neb., April 23.-Jack Johnson,
at the banquet rendered him here last
night by negroes. discussed his coming
fight with Jeffries. He is quoted today
as saying:
"Of my fight with Burns I can truth
fully say I never before entered the ring
with a heart SO full Of malice. Mr.. Burns
had said many unkind things about me
and in the ring that day remembered
them ALL Every time I forced him to
his corner I would ask him IL he re-
membered when he had made some GER
tain statement, and followed it up with
one of my best blows.
"Mr Jeffries. too. has said many harsh
things about me In return for the cour-
tesy that I have always tried to show
him. But I shall remember them all
on the day of the battle. I shall ask
Mr.. Jerfries in the ring If he recollects
certain of the things he has said and
for each recollection he shall make
atonement.'

the daring OF the pirates would have

accorded TO those who take tremen-
dous risks. no matter how evil. The
only thing they did succeed In was in
showing what might be accomplished
by such daring and determined men
on a big steamer on the high seas.
Shows What Might Be Done.
About the only thing In the ancient
annals OF piracy that comes anywhere
near the audaclous achievement is
that OF Richard Worley. who flour
ished in the eighteenth century. He
set out from New York with eight
men In an open boat captured two
armed sloops and a square-rigged ship,
lodged man-of-war and alarmed the
whole coast as far as Charleston be-
fore he was captured. But he had
eight men with him, and the total ton
mage OF all the ships that he captured
would not anywhere near equal that OF
the Alaska-Paciflo liner that these two
men almost had at their mercy. The
exploit OF West and Wise is unique in
the criminal history Of the, civilized
seas. Had they lived two centuries
ago they might have staggered with
the richest at Port Royal. the old pi-
rate stronghold. or have grown to be
terrors OF the seas In the same class
with Morgan and Lafitte. But steam
navigation. with its bigger ships,
would have put the pirates out of busi-
ness II the nations had not declared
war without quarter on them.
