Travis and Fownes Are Beaten-O Ouimet Forced to Extend Himself -Travers Has Tough Luck

Manchester, Vt., September 4.-Cham- pion Jerome D. Travers of Upper Mont clair and Francis Ouimet of Woodland, the 1913 open champion, will meet tomor- row in the final round of the national amateur golf tournament at the Ekwanok Country club. In the semi-finals today Travers defeated Walter J. Travis of Garden City up and 8 to play, and Ouimet disposed of W. c. Fownes of Oak mont 1 up.
 The Ouimet-Fownes match produced bet ter golf and was more exciting than the contest between the two metropolitan vet erans. Only once did either Ouimet or Fownes have an advantage of more than a single hole, and that was when Oumet won three in succession in the afternoon round, only to lose them immediately.
 Stymies played an important part in the match, Fownes laying three of them for his opponents. On one Ouimet putted past Fownes' ball and took half On another occasion he sent Fownes in for a two and lost the hole.

Johnny Dobbs feels that his club will have to make an uphill fight to land the bunting over Atlanta or Birming- ham. Barbare is not expected to be out of the game for an extended period of time. He will probably play against Chat tanooga.
 Youngsters are slowly gaining chance to shine in championship games in the Southern. Third Baseman Waldren, pur- chased by Atlanta from LaGrange, has played two games with the Crackers. He appeared yesterday in right field. Catcher Clarence Marshall, a 300 hitter in the South Atlantic league, acted as substitute hitter in the Memphis-New Orleans clash.
 In Atlanta Pitcher Roth. procured by Montgomery from the Georgia State league, relieved Jack Lively, and held the Crackers without a run in the clos ing innings. Tietrick, the latest addition to the Mobile fiinging corps, pitched an inning against Nashville. Twirler Horace Leverett. who was purchased from Louis- vile in the trade for Callahan, was ham mered on his initial appearance. In the three preceding games Nashville pitchers had not yielded run. R.

SCOTT CHESNUTT PUTS
 M'DONALD OUT OF GAME

The fielding of the clubs was again bril- liant, the sole pebble of the game being the misplay by Caveny. Both clubs con tested every inch of the ground and wrangled with Chestnut necessarily. Scott finally banished Mcdonald in the seventh for talking from the bench and ordered two Baron coachers off the sidelines
 The hitting of Jacobson and Johnston featured.
 The Barons threatened in the very first inning, when they filled the bases with one down, but a brilliant double play started by Caveny stemmed the tide. In the sec ond stanza, however, Hardgroves single sent over starting tally. Covington, first mp, walked and advanced to second on Ellam@ sacrifice. Wallace failed but Hardy singled to center.
 In the third the Barons annexed their second counter. Mcdonald opened with a single to left and reached second on Molesworth's slow bounder to Caveny. Stewart struck out, but Caveny fumbled McBride's bounder With the hit and run on Mcdonald scored from second. Me Bride promptly stole, but Covington went out on a third called strike in spite of an indignant protest.

By GEORGE H. BUTLER

Chattanooga, September 4.-Street' s slashing pinch single to left with two down in the ninth inning and Caveny on third, through virtue of his crashing triple to right, gave the Lookouts a to uphill victory over the Barons this afternoon.
 Hardgrove and Morgan went to the points to inaugurate the hostlities and for seven innings Hardy seemed an easy winner. The Lookouts hammered his of- ferings practically at will, but phenome- nal support, coupled with miserable base running and judgment upon the part of the LoolSouts, held them to a single tally, while the Barons had raised their total to three through opportune hitting.
 In the closing half of the eighth, how over, fortune finally deserted the Baronial heayer, and Robertson was called to the rescue to be charged with the defeat after Jacobson's triple and singles by Johnson and Graff had tied the score.
 In spite of the fact that the count stood against him until the eighth, Morgan outpitched Hardgrove by tremendous margin. The Salt Lake City phenom held the Barons to five hits, and but for a careless bobbe upon the part of Caveny and passed ball by Graham, would have held the Barons to a single tally.
