feated Mcleod Thomson, Of the home club,
I'm the final round by up and 10 play.

Travis began the day auspiciously by
taking George Crump, of the Philadelphia
Country Club, into camp to the tune Of 6
up and to play Although usually
steady player-in fact. one of Philade!-
phia's Sest-CIump never succeeded in
striking anything like his normal game. He
topped his opening drive and also putted
weakly on several greens. Travis holed
short approach in a at the eighth and
turned for home up. He was out in 49,
as against the others 42. Coming back,
the best Crump could do was to halve two
holes. and he lost the match at the thir-
teenth because Of a slice out Of bounds.
In the mean time Thomson had qualified
for the decisive stage by eliminating j.
Ernest, of Wilmington by a and mar
gin. The first named is one Of the younger
set here and many We're surprised at his
reaching the final round. He managed to
make matters interesting for a time. and
when he won the fifth and sixth. which
Travis calls his "hoodoo holes" Thomson
stood l up.
Travis won the next three and turned
for home up, going out in 40 to the
others A. The last hole Thomson won
was the tenth, where his opponent got
bunkered Travis won the twelfth, four
teenth and fifteenth holes. Thomson has
tened the end by laying himself a stymie
on the last named green. The bye holes
were not played.
