MAGIC IN GOLF.
1t Looked Like an Impossible Putt, but
Travis Mastered 1t.

/
81 once saw Walter J. Travis, the
veteran, sink the most wonderful putt
it has ever been.Ng lot to Witness"
says jerome d. fTftTfvers in the Ameri-
can Magazine.
The occasion was Metropolitan
championship at Garden City, with
Travis and Wilder Of Boston in a hard
match. Travis was four down and four
to play, hanging on by thin thread of
hope. But Travis settled down and won
the fifteenth and sixteenth holes. leav-
ing himself only two down. with two
! holes left. He had to win both. of
course. to even get half. But his rally
seemed to be fading out at the seven
trenth hole, and those who had wa
gered four TO one against Wilder one
man know had bet 5000 to $50 on
Travis were looking on with sick px-
prcSSionS. For all Wilder needed was il
half here to win the match. And after
playing three shots he was only four
feet from the cup. And Travis on his
third shot was barely on the green,
thirty feet away.
The battle seemed to be over beyond
any hope for Travis was not only thir.
ty feet away. but he had one of the
trickiest and hardest greens OF the
course to putt over And even if he
made the putt the odds were that Will
der would also make his from that dis
lance. Travis had no chance to try for
q straight putt. There were two derid-
ed breaks in the slope of the green. one
to the left and one to the right. And
between these two mOunded slopes
there was Il narrow gap between
knobs. 1t was impossible to follow the
line of this zap, because the cup was
set back Of II knoll to the left. blocking
entrance in that direction
He had only one way to 90. and that
was to take the mOundcd Siope to the
right. The Old Man walked up to the
cup and studied the line carefully from
that angle. Then he walked slowly
back, studying the lay of the ground
along the line he must take. He had to
figure all this tricky slope 10 the inch
and to the inch for thirty feet. For any
slight break off the right line would |
probably put him three or four feet
away at the finish.
After careful survey he walked |
back to his putt and with a free tap |
sent the bail spinning along. 1t took |
the slope TO the right. wound its way |
along this raised mound and. winding, |
twisting. up slope and down
slope, it broke in at exactly the right |
spot, about twenty-eight feet away, |
and it then pumped squarely into the
center of the cup, taking its last run
from decided dOwnhill spin where the
green slopcd off abruptly toward the
hole I've never seen another like it,"

GOOD ROADS IN WASHINGTON.

yAfAsHINGTON state understands the
W value of good highways and is
spending money by bucketsful to
bring the roads up to high state of
efficiency, according to E. L. sCham-
pion, northwest manager for the Fire
stone Auto Tire Company.
Mr.. Campion has his headquarters in
Seattle, but declares his interests are
just as wide and comprehensive as the
boundaries of the northwest.
"But there is no getting away from
it, Washington is leading Oregon in
good road construction, he said.
"Work on the Pacific highway is 60
ing ahead rapidly and along other
routes as well. Within short time the
highway from Vancouver, B. G., to
Aberdeen will be completed, and large
portion will be hard surfaced
"The Seattle Automobile Club has
joined the A. A. A. and is now gitat-
ing a proposition of having the state
put all the auto tax money back into
the construction and maintenance of
the highways. he club wants tax on
the horsepower basis, with the under
standing that licensed autos are not to
be taxed a second time as property, a
system now in vogue.
"Under the law as proposed, King
county for example, would not get the
full benefit Of all auto tax money, de-
spite the fact that the county would
pay more than any other one. Instead
the funls would 60 for the construc-

the life of the tires and subjects the
whole car to needless strain. 1t often
shortens human life as well. The high

Care of Tires.
AS the greatest single item of ex-
pense is the tire, we will conclude this
article with few "Don It's on Tires. "
If needed the item of tire expense will
DO greatly Tuucu.
Don't speed.
Don't apply the brake suddenly un-
less absolutely necessary. Use the
throttle more and the brakes less in
controlling the car. This saves both
the tires and the machine.
Don allow grease and oils to come
in contact with the tires. They de-
stroy the rubber. So does rust Paint,
on the contrary, preserves it.
Don t allow the weight Of the car to
rest on deflated tires even when not
in use.
Don t allow the side of the tire which
shows more wear than the other to re-
main in the same position. Reverse the
sides to insure even wear.
Don t ever run ON flat tire. If alb
solutely necessary and the distance is
short. run on the rim.
Don't fail to transpose the rear and
front tires when necessary, as the front
tires wear less than the rear ones.
Don't be afraid to burst tire by
too much initiation. A tire, unless old
or injured, is seldom over-inflated. The
reverse is more often the case and does
great injury.
Don t allow stored tires to get damp.
1t breaks down the fabric and weakens
the shoe.
Don't allow blisters to form on the
tire. Make prompt repairs.
Don t allow your front wheels to slide
in sidewise direction involving great
wear on the treads. See that they are
parallel.
