FAVOR TRAVERS
TO KEEP TITLE
Amateur Golfers Preparing for
Their Annual Competition

Amateur golfers all over the country
will spend the month of August i'm the
hardest kind of practice for the ma
tional championship, which will he
played at Garden City during the first
week of next month. No tournaments
of Importance are scheduled for this
month, as it has been found from past
experience that the golfers prefer to
spend the time i'm strengthening their
weak points rather than indulging in
competitive play, as good as that test
is.
This year il seems probable that
there will be no visitors from England
in quest of the amateur title and that
the tournament will resolve itself into
another bitter struggle for supremacy
between the east ana the west.
Jerome II. Travcrs. the present
champion, will undoubtedly go into the
championship tournament "A heavy
fhVoritc. Since he won al Wheaton last
year ana took the title for the third
time having previously held it i'm 1907
and 1908, ne has played some rather
remarkable golf. This season he has
been winning the low score medal in
nearly every tournament he has enter
ed and big medal play has been as
wonderful as the match play that
made him famous. The Improvement
in medal play without doubt means
general Improvement i'm his game
and If he plays at Garden city any
better than he did ut Wheaton he
should have no difficulty in winning
the championship for the fourth time.
Chick Evans, the Chicago golfer who
was runncrup at Wheaton, was beaten
recently in the western championship
and unless he RECEIVERS his form short
ly will have little chance of capturing
the title he has nearly won 50 often.
The new western champion is War
rem i; Wood. who reached the semi
final last year and was then beaten
rather easily 10y Evans. He is a
slightly built PLAYER with u peculiar
crouch but plays a steady game If
he can last the week out at Garden
city he may have "a chance for the
title. other western players who will
probably make u good showing are
