fcated G. 3. Buxton. OF Philadelphia. by .
up and l TO play, and supplemented this 10y
disposing Of NJ. A Rsey. the most prom
isng Of the younger players here. Risley,
who is n graduate from the caddie ranks,
had to lower his colors on the fifteenth
green. The other winners IN the chief
division were George Crump. Of Philadel-
rhia j. Erne. t, OF Wilmington, and Mcleod
Thomson, Of ne home club.
In the Ira is-BuXton match neither man
appeared a his best going out, Travis max
ing mistakes at the fourth and ninth holes.
His third shot going to No. failed -
carry the bunker, and the penalty stroke
there cost him the hole. lie topped his
second to the ninth, but luckily got halve
when Buxton missed a short put. They
we're all square at the halfway point, both
taking - 10 20 out
A pulled drive prevented Travis from get
ting halve at the zenith. That made him
enc down, and IL locked bad when he pulled
his next tee shot to a trap while the othsr
man made the edge Of the green. Out Of
the sand Travis laid a niblick shot some
twenty-five feet beyond the hole. On the
like Buxton ran his approach put dead. but
then Travis "stoo" naive by bringing Off
the long put. Mistakes cost Buxton the
twelfth and fourteenth holes, while Travis
won the thirteenth with another long put.
Travis finally settled matters on the sew
enteenth green. lie had an 50 to Bux-
tons So
Greater tournament experience stood
Travis n good stead in the second round
against Risley, who is regarded as the most
promising Of the home clubs younger set.
Risley stood 1 up at the sixth, but Travis
promptly reversed this order by Winning
the seventh and eighth In S. After that
Travis always had command OF the situa-
ton. From off the edge of tine green Travis
generally ran up with the putter, and u
invariably got him closer to tho pin than
Risley's effort with an iron. Travis won
by running down a 20-footer for at the
fifteenth.
