SANDWICH, England, May 19.-
Notwithstanding the untimely elm
i1ation OF Jerome D. Travers in the
british amateur golf championship,
ne Americans were considerably
rheered today by the showing made
~ their players in today's matches.
ITarold Weber, of Toledo, defeated c.
Pemer, of Birkdale, and Arthur
Lockwood beat Crunimack. The
Americans are banking heavily on
Francis ouimet and Frederick Her

The defeat OF Jerry Travers was the
unexpected feature Of the opening round
yesterday and now popular support has
been shifted to Francis Ouimet The
T'ravers-Palmer match carried the gal

tetors as the American champion and
his British opponent walked away from
the first tee after making their drives,
ravers beginning impressively by get

Amer twenty yards behind. The latter
as bunkered on his second and lost the
Iule, giving the American a good start.
II should have been two up for Tray
IT'S at the second, but his mashie shot

10 halve the hole. After halving the
hird, another hole which Travers
-hould have won had he taken advan-
age OF Palmer's mistakes, the British
layer holed a fine putt for a win at the
ourth and the match was all-square.
The next two holes brought another
Xchange, Travers taking the fifth and
almer the sixth, so once more they

Eolf was not of the best the gallery vas

Stanage Is Appointed
Pitching Supervisor

Manager Hugh Jennings OF Detroit has
created a new position on his baseball
club. He has appointed Catcher Oscar
Stanage as supervisor of his entire
pitching staff. His duties will be TO
decide who shall pitch each day, and
also to determine when a pitcher shall
be taken out and q relief finger sent
in. Manager Jennings stated that he
took this step because at times he was
so temperamental when his pitchers were
going bad that he could not use as much
judgment In his choice OF pitchers as
Catcher Stanage will be able to do.
