Comes Back Strong.

Then James picked up his ball, conced-
ing the seventeenth hole to Travis. and
the match was all even. But James re-
fused to quit and with Travis covered the
eighteenth and nineteenth holes stroke

initial tee almost everybody at the club
house followed the pair and of course
went on to see the finish.
On the twentieth hole both men made
nice drive and approach shots. Travis

about twenty inches Of the hole, while
James was fully ten feet away. James

and as a result he missed the putt and
lost the match.
The gallery had the good taste to re-

dies, to the number of dozen or more,
could not be restrained, turning hand
springs on the turf and shouting with
joy, as James is a great favorite among
the kiddies.

Lafayette's line and he was ably sup

Law Starts Scoring.
Law opened the scoring with drop
