Lakewood, n j., May Walter J.
Travis. OF Garden City. defeated Maurice
F.. Risley. OF Atlantic City. up and 2
TO play in the final round OF the annual
spring golf tournament of the Country
Club OF Lakewood, this afternoon and
won the chief cup. Travis has won so
many OF these trophies at Lakewood that
II is difficult 10 keep track OF all OF them.
He was as invincble to-day against Ris-
lev as he was against almost any OF the
others
Risley. however started poorly, losng
the first two holes, and would have lost
the third. too. IL Travis had not missed a
four-foot putt. Although Risley took the
fourth when Travis became bunkered he
lost the fifth because the Garden City
veteran ran down one of those remark
ably long puts. something like thirty-tve
feet from the far corner OF the green.
Risley performed similarly on the sixth.
Travis became up again at the ninth,
where Risley was woefuly weak In his
putting Travis was clearly not up To the
game he had displayed earlier in the tour
nameut, and Risley did not play nearly
so well as he did this morning.
BY the time the thirteenth was finished
Travis was only l up. and he captur ed
the fourteenth through the fact that al
though he failed on the try for the cup
from five feet. he laid Risley a stymie al
most on the lip of the cup
Risley always will try TO negotiate a
stymie if he has the least chance i'm the
suits. his bail failing to go sufficiently TO
one side and humping the other into the
Gun.
This made Travis . up again. and the
last named became dormie at the fif
teenth, when Risley made hash of the
hole by pulling his drive into a trap and
taking two to get out have i'm five
at the next finished the match.
Earlier in the day Travis had little diff
fculty in defeating his c;u5mate. Arden
NJ Robbins, by ; up and margin.
while Risle advanced TO the final round
through brushing aside Charles T. Van
Week. ir.. Of Baltusrol, and in so doing
provided one OF the most interesting
matches of the tournament.
Van Week took the first hole. and Ris-
ley squared at the next Six halved holes
followed. when Risley, with fine at
the ninth. reached the turn up. He be-
came . up at the twelfth, when Van
Week got trapped. but the latter won
the fifteenth by means of fine approach.
a similar tale could be told Of the sew
enteenth where he laid his brassie hole
high. and his third dead to the pin. II
squared the match. The eighteenth hole
is 400 yards long Risley's drive was fif-
teen yards beyond Van Weeks. and both
were straight and far.
