it sure by getting all the help posi-

Lawson displayed so much speed that
either one of them might win 1t. In

Clark combination got first, second
and split for third and fourth

leavings. 1t is an awful tough tale
to recount of the champions terrible

it, but you can bet your bottom dol

head. That added to the suspicion of
the occasion. Whatever is to be done,
give it to us in a hurry, for things
seem rather dull at present. At the
first move of a new angle Mclean is
sure to have his weather eye open.
He was badly fooled in the last fight.
He might have caught the OUTLAWS"
for $1,000 at least, but Chapman, it
is said, gave him wrong steer and
Alex made a delayed pass and lost
out. Next time it will be different.
Buffers feet, which were frozen stiff
as soon as the war opened, have
gradually thawed out. Nat, old war
horse that he is, was frightened out
of his wits. He couldn't even stall
for a moment. Now, though, he is in

Chapman has number Of big
things on. He is going to Australia
with five teams and on his return he
plans to build tracks in Baltimore

| Just by the Skin of his teeth" Jer-
ONE d. Travers. the champion golfer,
kept in the running in the big ANA
teur tourney at Garden City. Playing
poorly, he was in a tie with several
others for a qualifying position. In
the play-off he came out all right, but
his golfing was far from satisfactory.
From now on. though, We may ex-
pect better things of Travers. His
mashie has been bothering him some
what. but 1t is said that he has fin
ally mastered the iron. It didn't look
right at all to see Jerry" down at
the bottom struggling to get in, but
now that he has had his close fit we
will look for him to spruce up and
show us some real golf. Travers is
paired in the match play round today
with Francis Ouimet, the Boston man.
who led the field on the opening day.
| So this match, of the others, not
withstanding that "Chick" Evans led
the pack yesterday, is bound to prove
the most attractive one, as far as
large galleries go, of the day.

Among the unfortunates who were
put out of the running yesterday was
Heinrich Schmidt, who played so
brilliantly in England, and who forced
the clever Harold Hilton to play an
extra hole before submitting to the
Englishman's prowess, and who. like
Travers. was off his game, and failed
in the play-off after tying with several
Others. Schmidt, whose name has be-
come q byword in golf, displayed
sufficient class to stamp him a player
of merit, but he really, from all ac-
counts. must have played over his
head while abroad. There are any
number of the native golfers who
can beat him. yet Schmidt went down
the classy line of English golfers and
was stopped only when he met the
truly brilliant Hilton.

The tourney In progress at Garden
City is attracting big crowds, and
among the various galleries many
Newarkers are in evidence. The game
is study and students like to see
