COLD WIND DOES
NOT AFFECT TRAVIS
AT ATLANTIC CITY.

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 3.-Walter J.
Travis, OF Garden City, the most con
sistent medal player in this country,
swamped his field in the qualifying
round of the annual fall tournament of
the Country Club of Atlantic City. on
the Mortified links yesterday. 1t was
thought in the early hours of the morn
ing that the tradition that the weather
would be unfavorable to this event
would be broken, but no ooner had
play started than a bleak northwest
wind arose and increased as the day
wore on.
TIL only mar whose play it did not
appear to affect was Travis, who, by
the way. wore glasses. On the fifth
nine holes his golf was not exactly
what might be called consistent, in
any event for the first four holes. He
started out with a four, followed it up
with a FIVE, then came a six on the
third and a seven on the fourth. After
this he steadied down, and taking only
fife en- 81 okes = the last fl r holes
he had a total of AZ strokes at the
turn. Coming in he played great golf.
