the New York minority. including as it did
the wife and father of the metropolitan

They saw their favorite, who possesses

The Anderson-Travis match had its in

afternoon Travis became down. but drew

Anderson had been driving a much longer
baII-only few yards, to be sure. but
enough 10 tell in the long run They
haIved the tenth IN 8, and then Travis went
10 pieces completely On four of the next
five holes he got into trouble. while on the
other he lost through taking three puts. so
that Anderson won by 3 Up and 70 play.
In defeating his man Evans demonstrated
for the third time this season that he was
Savers master Il also was notices bic
that the Western open champion improved
over his previous Brookiine form. In fact,
H.. seems TO get better each round He had
q - and a % against Sawyer. so that low

10 him.
When Wilder finished victor over Brown

Reading golfer. Wilder replied that Brown
was the longest driver he had ever played
against but that when il came 10 playing
tn, other shots Brown knew less than him
self and that is not much added the
former intercollegiate champion with
smile. one OF Browns titanic drives was
from the fifteenth tee, where he overdrove
the road d matter Of 20 yards. In the
1898 national tournament at Garden City
Wilder carried Ira is forty-one holes be-
fore losing.
Wood was decidedly too brilliant for Gil
bert while Weber, whose style reminds
one somewhat of Ira vts's. always had the
advantage over Gorton, the Dartmouth
player Tuckerman, a veteran Of many
national tournaments, had to work hard
to beat The brilliant. if trife erratic,
Martin. After ending all square on the
home green Tuckerman won the extra hole
in a par 4.
