TRAVERS OUT IN
 FIRST ROUND OF
 ENGLISH TOURNEY

Sandwich, Eng. May 1s.--Jerome D. Travers. amateur golf champion of the United States, w.s eliminated to- day in the first round of the contest for the British amateur championship and the chances of an American talk ing the title across the Atlantic were thereby, in the opinion of experts here, reduced to a minimum.
 Charles A. Palmer, who defeated Travers by 2 up, is the English open champion and was the runner up to John Ball for the championship in 1907. He comes from Handsworth, Eng. Neither Travers nor Palmer played very good golf today. Travers appeared to allow too much for the speed of the green. Consequently he was short with his approach shots while his drives were about twenty yards shorter than those of his op- ponent, and his putting let him down badly.
 Palmber was. suffering from lum- bago and his drives lacked their us- ua1 energy. The American champion took an early lead but the players were all square at the turn. Travers was again up at the 18th hole but Palmer caught him at the 18th and won the last two holes.

 BIG RALLY BY
 PlTTSFIELD CL UB

They are banishing the spit ball from the big leagues, but it's good thing the moist delivery is still stylish in the minors. Otherwise the Bridge port club might have been s1nothered by a load of runs at Newheld park yesterday The Pfttsf1eld sluggers had carved General sherman for i've runs in the fifth when Martin walsh and his saliva slants checked the invad- CTS. Walsh, who is big enough to clean up the Mexican army. had the splitter breaking fine and the Ezectrics less for the rest of the afternoon. The final figures were Bridgeport 10, Pitts field 5.
 Walsh was lambasted pretty hard in the sixth before he got his assortment working right. Good fielding saved him, a one hand stab of a liner by Adi1tz Ems being very timely. In the last three stanzas Walsh was air tight He was rushed to the rescue in the sixth when Pdttsfald had two on bases and two out. Walsh then struck out Hilly. General Sherman had been going fine for Bridgeport until the fifth It looked as If he warmed up too long. He pitched whole game in practice before the regular afternoons work started and as a result he<was tired out
 Dlhame1 began proceedings for PittSheld, but he retired In the second and Rettig succeeded him. Bridgeport @sIapped the youngsters for 13 safeties. Terney, the new outf1elder from Mon treal, blew himself to a pair of hits and otherwise acted like a. real out fielder. Stow drew applause for a fine catch of Retttgss liner in the third which resulted in a double play.
 Bridgeport was ahead by 10 to 0 when Pittsield staged that rally in the fifth, but nevertheless the fans were frightened until Walsh got start ed The score:

PIRATES NOT 50 C0NF|DENT
 0F: FLAG NOW

They don't feel quite so cheerful in Pittsburgh this Monday morning as they did week ago. The fans came pretty near ordering the worlds se- ries tickets in Pittsburgh. but concIud- ed they would wait until after the se- ries with the Giants.
 Rather fortunate they did.
 The Pirates blew before most people figured they would.
 Fred Clarke will, of course. try hard to rally his forces, and the Pirates are likely to try to vent their spleen on the Braves in the series starting to- day. The Pirates are not done by any means, but the psychological effect of dropping five games in a, row is not likely to help them. The team was just itching for the series with the Giants, too, to show that the Pirates are real pennant hopes. but they failed to show.
 The Pirates will probably advance the Wagner alibi for their three straight defeats at the hands of the Giants, and no one will deny the Pf- rates with Wagner and the Pirates without Wagner are entirely different propositions. However, the Giants played two games without Doyle, and with half of the pitching stan suffer ing from tonsilitis.
