Veteran Takes Measure of
Youthful MarSton in
Lakewood Tourney.
SHORT GAME OF THE
YOUNGSTER is WEAK
Forced to Nineteen Holes in Morn
ing Match, He Weakens Against
Afternoon Opponent.

There are occasions when Father Time
sets back precocious youth, and one OK
these was Yesterday when Walter j.
Travis. of Garden City, veteran golfer
extraordinary. took into camp one Max
well r. Marston, of Baltusrol, inter-
scholastic champion. to the tune OF up
and 10 play. thereby winning the chief
cup i'm the fall tournament of the Country
club of Lakewood.
Earlier in the day Marston found ii
necessary TO go to the nineteenth green
to eliminate ). X de Forest. OF the home
club. the winner being down at the end
of the tenth. showing a fash of the brill
fancy Of which he is capable. Travis
had to go To the seventeenth before he
could dispose of John +. Stanley. of Deal.
one Of the chief difficulties with which
Marston Fad to contend during the Lake
wood tournament has been his short
game especially on the greens. II was
not 80 much that however. which caused
his downfall as il was the fact that he
was as wild as a hawk off the tee and
had a knack Of getting too much body
movement into his swing Yawning traps

therein. and on many an occasion the
invitation was accepted. lie miSht have

putting, while his second shot at the next
hole was woefully weak and got trapped.
Thus ne became one down. Marston Wis.,
tied the traps at the thirl, fifth, sixth,
and eight holes. He was enabled to halve
the third. because Travis made a poor
approach putt and needed five.
Then at the fourth he failed to take
advantage Of his opportunity when six
foot try went wrong. and II was only
through the fact that the veteran took
three puts on the NTH that Marston
halved that hole He had teed his ball
too high. and when he attempted to drive
the club head sent the missile skyward
A little error In judgment on his second
shot for which he used a midlron got

Travis became > up at the sixth. when
Marston got trapped. but the schoolboy
won his first hole at the seventh because
the veteran needed three tries for the
cup. Marston's visit to the bunker at
the eighth cost him the hole.
The real thrill OF the match took place
on the ninth green. Marston was just
short OF the green on his second. while
Travis was over on his third. Marston
overran the cup and Travis was beyond
the hole on his fourth a matter OF less
than foot. Marstons fourth laid the
veteran a dead stymie, but the Garden

and a niblck Jumped the obstruction and
halyed the hole. Thus Travis was up
