TRAvERS SAILS FOR
ENGLAND THIS WEEK

Ouimet and Hilton as
Admirers.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The American

bringing the british amateur golf cham
pionship to the United States. will &C
tually get under way this week Thurs
day Jerome D. Travers. amateur cham
pion of the United States in 1907. 1898,
1912 and 1913. the only man who has Won
the title four times, will sail for Liver
pool on the Baltic. AS the British cham
pionship At Sandwich is not to begin
until Monday, May Is the great Ameri-
can golfer will have plenty of time for
practice and acclimatization after he
reaches the other side of the Atlantic.
Whether or not Travers proves success
fu in his quest, there is no doubt that he
will do his best and if he finds himself
at the top of his game at Sandwich his
chances will be exceedingly bright. On
the eve of his departure there have been
accorded two tributes to his goling skill
which show the respect in which he is
held. The tributes come from the two
men who will doubtless he REGARDED in
popular estimation as his chief rivals for
the honor which he is seeking.
Francis Ouimet. open champion Of the
United States. who also will sail for Eng
land In the course of d few weeks, said

in the shell. While there have been no
arrivals of oyster boats for over three
weeks. the supply of oysters in the

the demand. but prices have been high
Lying at the oyster wharf are twenty

but they are expected soon to return,
and before the end of the week most

PUBLIC CAB STANDS
EARLY POSSIBILITY
District Authorities Plan to Abol-
ish Monopoly Of Space
About Hotels.

Public cab stands may shortly be es-
tablished around Washington's down
town hotels.
A conference between Corporation
Counsel Conrad II. Syme and Maj.
Richard Sylvester, superintendent Of
police relative to the preparation Of
regulations designed to break up the
present monopoly enjoyed by taxicab
companies in the occupancy of public
space around hotels will be held some
time this week.
Mr.. SWINE this morning said that it is
his intention TO draw up regulations
similar to those now in effect in New
Yorw city. 1t is the present plan to
permit taxicab companies to occupy
one side of a street in front of hotel
and horse-drawn vehicles the other.
Views of the Commissioners.
The District Commissioners have
had under consideration for some time
the question of establishing public cab
stands. Though the taxicab companies
have contracts with a number of hotels
by which they enjoy exclusive occu-
pancy of the curb space adjacent to the
buildings, the local authorities do not
consider these agreements valid. as
they deny the right of the hotels to
rent or lease public space.
Mr.. Symes decision to draft the pro-
posed regulations comes as the result
os the recent court decision holding
taxicab companies as common carriers
ard therefore subject TO the supervi-
sion and control Of the public utilities
commission. The commission, now
that its authority over the companies
has been clearly established, will
shortly take up the question of taxisab
rates.

Mr.. TAFT IS HOPEFUL
OF SOCIAL PROGRESS
Deplores Cyncism and Indifference
of Those Who Don't
Care

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. March a.-The
things VIC must fight hardest in college
lite and in the religion and education
OF students are Indifference and cynic-
ism, said former President William H.
RAFT IN addressing .hc closing session
of the Religious Education Association
last night in Woossey Hall, at Yale.
The topic WAS The College and the
New Social Order Mr.. Taft criticised
strongly the Industrial Workers of the
World. but said it was because of the
cynical satisfaction of those who don't
care, that arguments for the Hay
woods and Tannenbaums are furnished.
Give me misdirectei feryor wild

error. If only the sincere spirit of re-
hGfous and social service is alive and

experience of practical results will
temper this into useful activity later on.

Ouimet's Tribute to Rival.

when the time for the British CHAM
yiauship comes &around don't lose sight of
Travers, for to my way Of thinking h is
oae of the greatest golfers who ever
stepped on a fairway. Hes every inch /
sc fer
In commenting on the coming OF Trav-
ers. Harold ii. Hilton, the present British
amateur champion, American champion
in 1911 and holder of both amateur and
open championships OF his own nation IN
the past, has this to say:
One really wonders how much Mr..
Travcrs will miss his favorte Schenectady
putter when playing over here. The
American amateur champion IS Wholc-
souled believer in the efficacy of the CEN
ter shafted club. and in his own country
uses nothing else. There is probably no
golfer living who uses 1t quite as sue
ccSSfuily as ne does. 1t is an education
to watch Jerry Travers putt with this
club. Every action is so deliberate and
nIethodical, without in any way beng
labored. as are the methods OF SO many
disciples of the methodical school OF
putters.
How he will fare with an aluminium
putter (Which one naturally assumes he
will use) is a matter of great interest:
but Judging from experiences gained by
the subsequent putting OF those VINO a
few years ago had perforce to discard
their center shafted clubs. there would
suffer materially. The majority of those
who were in the habit of using Science
tady'' weapons We're equally successful
with aluminium clubs. In truth, believe
that Jerome Travers could putt better
than forty mine out of fifty people what
ever manner of club he was called upon
to use.
Trouble With Wooden Clubs.
From this statement it can be seen
that Hilton has little fear that the
necessary change in putters will affect
the quality of the American champions
work on the greens. The only doubts
expressed by the British title holder are
in regard to the play of Travers with
his wooden clubs. For the last two
years Travers has won the champion
ship of this country through using an
iron from the tees, because he has
found trouble with his wooden clubs.
Hilton points out that it will be diff
ficult to do this successfully at Sand
witch. At Wheaton and Garden City he
could win without them and did so. at
Sandwich he may be forced to alter his
tactics, but probably will be able to
accomplish the change without serious
detriment to his game.
