DEFEAT OF TRAVERS DUE TO TOO MUCH
 GOLF IN SHORT TIME

when Jerome D. Travers, amateur 1olf champion of the United States re- turns to these shores next week he will doubtless have something to say Concerning his Sorry showing in the British tournamaaS at Sandwich Ac- cordlng to a friend of the Upper Mont clair golfer, it was not until after ter sr-v had made that much talked of 69 before the tournament that the real trouble began.
 B Adams, a member Of the Ma tfonal Golf Links of America return ed from abroad the other day and. secuted all alleged explanations He declared that it was merely a case Of being over golf led completely off hls game.
 It is agreed by many of Travers friends that entirely too much has been made over Trayers' defeat and some people are prone to forget the fact that when Trayers set sail for the other side he said: Do not expect too much of us, for we are only human. The task is hard and of course, we II Hdo our best" Travers was too con- scientious. and tried too hard That's all there is to it.
 This fact is borne out by one of the prominent British critics who says For MT Travers and MT. Ouimet ons felt rather sorry It would be wrong 10 say that the spectators at Sandwich did not feel relieved that the danger of the championship being won by an American was removed early in the proceedings but many of them ex- pressed regret that Traverss who was looked upon as the most formidable match player of the three (zvans, 0ui-

NATTY GETS POUNDING FROM
 CHICAGO ELM

The Giants wilted in the sixth in- ming yesterday at the Polo Grounds and Flank OfDay and his Chicago Cubs made merry to the tune oe five runs and won the second game of the series from the National league cham pions by the count Of to 4 1Tatty was on the mound at the time but 1t was not the ssO1d 1Naster s' fault alone that the Giants lost, for Mo Graw's men played like a lot of schoolboys in this inning. Even the reliable Chief Meyers stubbed his toe in a pinch.
 There might have been a d1erent tale to relate if the Chief had held on to Grants throw in the sixth to head of Heinie zinnernaan at the plate Umpire Hart had already waved zdFn out when the big third baseman. who came into the plate none to gently, told him that the ba1g was on the ground, several feet away from Meyers. This was the begin.s' ming Of the end of wha1 looked like a. perfectly good ball game for A1atty was hurling in fine form, and big Jim Vaughn, the former Highlander, wan doing likewise.
 Meyers's error kind of got on the Old Masters, nerves and a moment later he let loose a wild pitch that scored .*vViIddre' Prank schuIte rom third base. Few fans can remember. when the master of the damous fade away made a wild pitch that allowed a runner to score from third.

What with having his inf1eld smash ed by the pesky Feds, and a slow get away. and other miscellaneous mis- fortunes and bad breaks in the luck. Charley Dooin. the manager of the Philadelphia Nationals. is beginning to believe that there is a ''jinx.'' In 1911, his first season pilot, Red started out to grab a pennant right off the bat, and he had the Giants asd the Pirates and the Cubs looking mighty solemncholy for time.
 But just when the Phillies looked like they had a first mortgage on that dear old rag, and were beginning to consider what would happen in the way of increment if the PhiIlies and the Athletics should meet in the worlds series, and wondering whether a touring car or a lina-seen with gold trimmings would be best suited to their purposes, when, kerplunlx, the

Zouaves a Striking
Feature of
MemorialDayParade:
ssssssssssssesssssssssssss

""HEY were queer looking sol
diers in their short jackets

could fight" said Union
veteran of the zouaves. I'VE boys had
lots or fun in camp making sport of
them. but on the field they proved that
man didn't have to wear a regulation
Uniform to make good soldier"
The idea Of dressing in the snowy
uniforms, limitations of those worn by
the French zouaves, appealed to adj
venturous, unconventional spirits in
the north at the opening of the civil
war. One of the most noted of the
zouave regiments was recruited from
the volunteer fire fighting force of New
York city, a body of men whose re-
spect for law and order was not al
ways strong enough to prevent them
from enjoying rough. turbulent time.
These were the famous Ellsworth Zou-
| aves. led ut first by Colonel Elmer K.
Ellsworth, killed at Alexandria, Va.
in the early days of the war.
Washington beheld them with inter-
est when they marched into the capital
in response to President Lincoln's call
for volunteers, but the interest was
mixed with anxiety when the city saw
the manners of the Bowery prevailing
on Pennsylvania avenue. But for all
that it made much of the New York
ers, especially after the latter did he
roic work i'm fighting n bic fire in the
capital city.
In many places the history of the
war is dotted with mention of the
zouaves. They had the usual proper
ton of skulkers and strikers. of course.
and men in whom the duration of war
wore thin the sense of duty, but on the
whole the records of the Zouave regi-
ments compare credtably with those
of others. Their gaudy attire. in which

of some of the Zouave survivors. They
form invariably one of the most con
spicuous features of the professions.
The name "zouave" is African in
origin. The Zouaoua are or were a
tribe of Kabyles living in Algeria.
When the French assumed control
over that country. about 1890, they
found that the Zouaoua would make
good fighting men and organized them
into two battaions. French officers
were placed in command. and some
French soldiers were admitted to the
ranks, adopting the distinctive Moor
ish dress. sometimes with European
embellishments Later the regiments
were composed entirely of Frenchmen.
but the distinctive Moorish garb was
retained.
Now the Zouaves form an integral
part of the French army. being organ
