TRAVIS HAS STREAK
Of PERFECT PUTTING

NEW YORK, May 31.-Those who
thought that Walter J. Travis was all
in as a golfer decided they had another
think coming after witnessing his per-

Invitation tournament at the Tuxedo
Golf Club yesterday. The Garden City
veteran defeated Jerome d. Travers. the
national and metropolitan champion, 3

be long remembered by the gallery.
Had it not been for one hole, where
Travis picked up after his ball became
practically unplayable. he would easily
have broken all previous course records.
Even as it was, with an approximated s

deadly putting streaks. against which

Few Matches in the
Final Rounds.

Play in the Chevy Chase tournament

and e. AS is usually the case in
the mixed doubles, the game narrowed
itself down to Moorhead and Wilcox,
and, of course, Moorhead won. Mrs.
Lawson looked to be a lettle better
than Mrs. Moorhead, and this gave her
side q slight advantage. as far as the
women were concerned. but Moorhead
proved to more than make up this
difference by outranking Wilcox. The
event was a handicap one, with each
pair being rated as minus 10. For a
while 1t looked as If the Moorheads
would make it two straight, but "a
brilliant rally at a critical stage OF
the game allowed Mrs. Lawson and

Chandler looked at the girl and
found her swiftly drawing his inter-
est. She was pretty in a refined way;
and her eye was both merry and
kind. She was inexpensively clothed
in a plain black dress that suggested
a sort of uniform such as shop girls
wear. Her glossy dark-brown hair
showed its coils beneath a cheap hat
of black straw whose only ornament
was velvet ribbon and bow.
A sudden idea came into the head
of the young architect. He would
ask this girl to dine with him. Here
was the element that his splendid but
solitary periodic feasts had lacked.
His brief season of elegant luxury
would be doubly enjoyable'if he could
add to it lady's society. This girl
was lady, he was sure-her man
ner and speech settled that. And in
spite of her extremely plain attire he
felt that he would be pleased to sit
at table with her.
These thoughts passed swiftly
through his mind, and he decided to
ask her. 1t was breach of etiquette,
of course, but oftentimes wage-earn-
ing girls waived formalities in mat
tiers of this kind. They were gener-
ally shrewd judges of men; and
thought better of their own judgment
than they did of useless conventions.

would enable the two to dine very
well, indeed. The dinner would, no
doubt, be a wonderful experience
thrown into the dull routine of the
girls life; and her lively appreciation
of it would add to his own triumph
and pleasure.

frank gravity, that your foot needs

The girl looked quickly into Chan
,dler's clear, pleasant countenance.
Her eyes twinkled once very brightly,
and then she smiled ingenuously.
But we don't know each other
it wouldn't be right, would it?" she
said, doubtfully.
There is nothing wrong about it,
said the young man, candidly. "Tn

as possible, will bid you good-even-
ing, or attend you safely to your door,
whichever you prefer"
But, dear me-" said the girl, with
a glance at Chambers faultless at

'Never mind that" said Chandler,
cheerfully. 'Tm sure you look more
charming in them than anyone we
shall see in the most elaborate dinner
toilette"
''My ankle does hurt yet" admitted
the girl, attempting. 81 think I will
accept your invitation, Mr.. Chandler.
You may call me-Miss Marian"

the young architect, gayly, but with
perfect courtesy; you will not have

When the two were established at
a well-appointed table, with a promis-
ing waiter lowering in attendance,
Chandler began to experience the
real joy that his regular outing al
ways brought to him.

He is Cap tain Edwin Graves, and was a mem Der of the victorious West Point teams of 1901, 1902. 103 and 1904. These were the same years that Daly was 8 cadet, but he did not play on the Army team after his second year.
 The present Army players who are in danger of being defeated for the fourth successive year are Captain B.. r. Hoge, halfback, and Huston, left guard. If the latter Is in shape to play the whole game, he and Brown should have @ pretty little baale as opposing guards. Back in the string of Srmy victories there was only one Navy player Whiting. at end who played on four successive losing teams.
 An interesting coincidence is that both of this years rival coaches, Daily and Lieutenant D. L. Howard of the Navy were graduated from West Point and Annapolis, respectively, in 1905, and spent the same four years at the academies They never met on the gridiron, however, because Daly play ed football only during his first two years, 1901 and 1902, while Howard did not make the Navy varsity until his last two years, 1903 and 1904
