Great Praise for Travis.
The victory of Walter ]. Travis in the
Metropolitan championship and his SUBJ
sequent retirement from active compe-
tition gave further Too for thought.
No man who has played the game in
America has been more successful than
the former British amateur title win
ner. and no one deserves greater praise
for his play during the past fifteen
years. 1t was an odd year that the
peerless putter of them all did not
gather in some special important cham
pionship. Surely our British cousins
respect his game more than that OF any
others who have represented our land
in foreign tournaments, and in the
years to come l venture to predict the
play of the Garden City golfer will be
accorded far more praise than 1t is
given today right at the beginning of
his retirement.
The amateur championship has been
spoken of many times already in these
columns. but suffice to say that the
man who played the best golf during
the week won the title.
The Lesley cup matches went to New
York, easily the strongest team in the
field as well as on paper. If we could
point to any upsets of the year. which
is a dangerous thing to do in golf,
when you come to think of 1t, knowing
the game as the will-o'-the-wisp that
it is, it would be where both the anna
teur and the open champion Of tire land
went down to defeat in the same round,
and that the second, in the amateur
championship.
There have been many new features
which have aided the game of golf as
it is played here Principally. of course.
We can point to the great spread of the
game. At the present time / am COL
lecting data which l hope will tell more
accurately than ever before the num-
Der of golfers in the country. The in
crease this year in the number of play
ers I know has been the largest since
the Inception of the game in this coun-
try/and the money expended for golf
ing pleasure and health has exceeded
all former records. New courses have
been formed all over the land and on a
sounder basis from an architectural
point of view. The most significant
nection is the establishment of a Won
phia. where the broad-minded men o.
influence have worked long and late
to give to the citizens place where
irst-class golf may be enjoyed at a
minimum cost.

HOPKINS LOSES ONE.
Baltimoreans Defeated by Swarth-
more Eleven by 81 to IL Score.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE. October 3o.-Swarth-
more defeated Johns Hopkins here to-
day. 81 to IL. The teams were nearly
evenly matched, but the Swarthmore
offense had more punch behind IL than
that of the locals. Each team earned
one touchdown. Swarthmore's frst
score came when Bush picked up q
fumbled ball, and her last resulted
from an intercepted forward pass. One
of Hopkins touchdowns resulted from
a recovered ball on the KICKOFF and the
other came after the completion of two
forward passes. Lineup and sum.

Must Follow It Up.

Unless a man does follow up the twist
service to the net to volley he is vast
ing his efforts. It certainly does not
pay any player to serve such difficult
ball and then lose all the advantage to
be gained from it by staying back in
his court and waiting for a later OPP
portunity to get up to. the, net. The
only profitable way to use 1t is to rush
in on every service and depend on the
twist to prevent the opponent from
passing you on the way up.
McLoughlin's greatest skill in the use
of this delivery lies in his ability to
vary the service in several ways He
can serve a fast twist delivery, slow
curvine ball or fast straight one with
very little difference in the swing of
his racket, and this ability to hide his
attack In, this way has. mSde 1T doubly

Of the main faults with the proposed

Alfalfa Is rising in fits leguminous
