BALTIMORE, Nd, May 1.-THE six
teen which are to determine who are to
play in the semi-finals of the invitation
golf tournament were held yesterday
morning and afternoon at the Baltimore
Country Club. The weather conditions
could not have been better for a golf
match. there being hardly any wild to in
terfere with the players. In the morn
ing there was slight breeze. but not
enough to cause trouble. - The semi
finals and the finals of the tournament
will be held today
The attraction of the day at the tour
nament yesterday was the playing of W.
j. Travis. Mr.. Travis had quite a large
crowd following him around the links.
and many were new to the golfing game
who watched his fine work. In the first
round of the first match Travis defeated
7. Courtney Jenkins with 1 up In the
second round he defeated d. Clarke
Corkran. with up and to play.
Although there will be several local
golfers in the semi-finals today. the Bal
timorean who will most likely come out
on the top is B. Warren Corkran. Cork
ran played sensational golf Thursday,
and In the qualifying round he was only
beaten out by Travis by one putt. NJ.
Tyson Ellicott of the Baltimore Country
Club has a pretty good chance to get
into the finals. One of the most danger
Gus men in the semi-finals who has as
good chance as any one is WOlcott
Tuckerman. Tuckerman has a steady
nerve, and considering his knowledge of
the game and his experience he should
be heard from. and may spring surprise
by beating Travis.
Besides the semi-finals and the finals
today there will be a handicap match. In
this event those in the finals of the in
vitation tournament will not be eligible
to compete. So far the tourney has
proved to be the best ever held in the
state. or. in fact, the best ever held in
the south.
