Travis PLAYS FINE
:: :: GOLF AS 1T CLEARS

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 9.-There
was a pleasant change in the weather
conditions here yesterday for the first
and second rounds of match play in
=the fall tournament of the Country
Club, of Atlantic City. at the North
s field links. A brisk wind was blowing
during the time the first round was
. played, but this was rather an ad-
4 vantage than otherwise, as it helped
to dry out the course. Quite little
zwater remained on the meadow holes,
but the conditions were a great deal
better than might have been expected
and the putting green's were in first
class shape.
In both the first and second rounds
excellent golf was played, and during
the day many close matches We're
played Walter j. Travis won both
!. his matches with comparative ease.
In the morning he was opposed by DR..
Theodore Senseman, of the home club,
but the doctor proved no match for
him and was beaten z up and to
play. This is not surprising, seeing
that Travis negotiated the first nine
holes in 81 strokes. Senseman won
only one hole, the sixth, and halved
the third, fifth and eighth.

ton of baseball law to make a
proposition of any kind to him. SAID
Mr. Farrell.
Davis has not been here to talk

ment. l have not seen or heard from
him since he was here with the Cleye-
lands last summer. He will not be

WESTWARD SOLD TO
GERMAN YACHTSMAN

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-The schooner
yacht Westward, which made prac-
tically clean sweep in the European
races of the season of 1910, is to go to
Germany, having been purchased for
a prominent German yachtsman from
Alexander Smith Cochran, her owner.
The Westward was designed by
Captain Nat Herreshoff and aroused
so much enthusiasm abroad from the
day she first appeared in British
waters that offers for her purcha sc
were of almost weekly occurrence.
Mr.. Cochran's illness prevented him
from using the boat in 1911, and this
year she appeared in only few con-
tests.

THOUSANDS OF NEW WORKERS JOURNEY TO WEST
POINT TO SEE FAMOUS INDIAN PLAY SOLDIER TEAM
Thorpe Attracts as
Much as Any Big
Game.
WEST POINTERS FEAR HIM

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Today's grid
iron program in the East offered
many promising attractions for foot
ball enthusiasts. The Yale-Brown and
West Point Carlisle games took large
crowds from New York city.
Thousands of New Yorkers were
attracted to West Point for the
Army Indians battle Many persons
went for no other reason than to see
in action Jim" Thorpe, all around
athletic champion of the world, and
possibly the greatest individual
player on the gridiron today.
Thorpe, as a football captain, Is
rounding out his career in blaze
of glory-a fitting finale to his Won
derful exploits ON two continents,
during which he has been feted by
a king, eulogized by President and
royalty greeted in two of the great
est cities in America.
He is the greatest halfback in the
world. Football is his speciality. Al
though at home in sprint, jump, hur-
die, shot put, discus, vault or as
baseball pitcher. he prefers football
and is conceded to rank as one OF the
three or four greatest halfbacks foot
ball has produced.
With the ball tucked under his arm,
Jim" Thorpe, in a broken field, Is
a sight to arouse the most stoical
football critic. An eastern coach last
fall said it was worth the price of
admission to see Thorpe go down the
field with the ball.
Breaking his own records Is
Thorpe's speciality. He is constantly
lettering his performances, so 1t is
to be expected that he will close his
work at Carlisle this fall with the
most brilliant football performance
ever witnessed upon an American
gridiron. He has started well, and
the Indians have won every game
they have, played.
The "big four" of Eastern football
fear no team as they fear Carlisle
1t is a foregone conclusion, when ths
Indians get the ball to an opponents
4O-yard line Thorpe will kick a goal
In the Harvar1 game last fall ht
booted the hall over the Crimson
goal four times, winning for Car

Thorpe is marvel because he
loves the game, puts all of his char
acteristic earnestness into it, and
| because his work upon track and
field has fitted him for extraordinary
Iiexploits in football.
1t is seldom that man standing
over six feet and weighing 100 pounds
can run and jump with the agility

| uncanny lodging and his weight
combined with the way he follows

football.
