TRAVIS AGAIN
GOLF CHAMPION
Wins National Title for the
Fourth Time - Defeats
John G.. Anderson.

Garden City, N. T., Sept. g.
Jerome D. Travers of Upper Mont
clair, n. j., the national amateur golf
champion. for the fourth time in his
career on the links won the highest
golf1ng honor attainable in this coun-
pion of the United States Golf associa-
ton. His opponent in the final match
of thirty-six holes w the Garden
City clubs course was John G. An
derson of Braeburn, Mass, former
amateur champion Of the Bay State
and the only New England golfer WHO
has succeeded in reaching the final
stage Of a national championship
tournament during the last fifteen
years.
When the first half of the match
had been played the men were "all
even," but on the second round Trav-
ers showed his superiority and won
handily by 5 up and 4 to play. Dur
ing the earlier round Travis was faul-
ty on several occasions, particularly
when negotiating the last three holes
Of the outward journey. After being
n down at the first hole Travers set
tied. down and when the sixth green
had been passed the national cham
pion had a lead of 2 up.
Travers Made Few Errors.
Up 10 tnat Stage raTerS had Ia
few mistakes. but starting out from
the seventh tee he almost duplicated
his poor work of the day previous In
his match with Herreshoff on the
same hole. He sliced his drive here
and again on the mex tee, losing two
holes in succession while Anderson
right on the line in his play through
the fair way and squared the match.
From then on until they had played
the fifteenth Anderson was the lead
er. On the X hole. however, Trav-
ers made the match all even and, get
ting back a bit of his form, was never
down during the remainder of the
round and was always up in the aft
n play.
Anderson Not Faulty.
Anderson. was not faulty by any
means, but he played a strong, steady
game at all stages-a game that
against any other Of the players but
the champion could hardly failed to
bring him victory. Travers was spas
medically brilliant and his success can
be attributed simply to the fact that
he is resourceful.

Both the American and Liggett
