DEFENDS THE FOURSOME
Golfers Benighted Heathens,
Says Champion of Old Style.
TRAVIS TAKEN TO TASK
Plan on Foot to Have Clubs
Professional Start Tour
namentS.

As If reluctant TO admit the fact that
the old-fashoned foursome is steadily
growing less and less popular among
golfers i'm America. one of the champions
Of this style speaks his mind quite freely
He takes Walter j. Travis to task for the
stand the Garden City player took shortly
lefore the Lesley cup matches last fall,
and also intmates that the golfers here
abOuts are as the benighted heather,
knowing not of the foursome.
He relieves himself in part, as follows:
These things must be stated over and
over again, for rumbles are continually
heard in the New York golfing district.
where the poor benighted heather know
not the foursome, and attempts frequent
ly are made to influence opinion SO that
the foursome feature OF the Lesley cup
matches will be lost by the substitution
Of four-b ball matches.
Chief Travis refuses altogether 10 play
foursomes, which, unkind critics say, IS
because he can play his own good game
just the same way every day, and rs
does not propose 10 have TO play any,
body else's game, whether it Is better
or worse IMAM his ONii. III oth'h HOlu@s
he proposes to play the ball where 1t lice
after his own length of shots. and not
after longer or shorter ones made by als'
partner.
I'm this matter, Of course, Travis should
be left to his fate and his four-ball
matches, always provided that his four
ball match does not block the course. ltI
is almost impossible TO convince first class
golfers playing a four-ball match that
they keep back single composed OK
mediocre players. But IT has been demon
strated again and again that the two
mediocre players lose about half an hour
every time they play the course behind
such a constituted four-ball match, and
vet the four-ball match players remain
unconscious Of their SHINING. and 1t is e1.
tremely difficult to bring them to task
when they are such great men-pundit'
who have made the history OF the game
here and who pontifcate its services North
and South, following the sun and the stan
in their courses
