/ winning. On the fifth and tenth holes
Sawyer got into quite little trouble.
! and on the tenth he picked up. His
action gave Travis the medal. 1t is
virtually certain, however, that Tray
Is would have won in any event, as
he qualified par with a 73 Until he
came to grief, Sawyer was playing
par golf also, and had he not picked
up he might have made it exceedingly
interesting
The human scoring machine" was
In magnificent form and his two
rounds We're the sensation of the day.
Two cards in par is good days
work, and when these cards include
five birds" Il is golf far above the

the afternoon he took 90 and 36 for
another par 73. Howard G. Mccall

In r. w. Sasscer Travis had to meet
a worthy opponent in the afternoon
and the fact that he won 4 up and 3
TO play proves what fine golf he
played. On the FIRST three holes |
neither man could gain any advan-
tage. all three being halved. Sass
Ger drew first blood by winning the /
fourth with a to A. Travis won |
