3 to go in his favor. AS a courtesy
to the large gallery Travis and Buxton
PLAYED out the remaining three holes.
Travis and Buxton started away
from the clubhouse at 9 o'clock and
the first hole was won by the former
in 5, one over par. Both drove nicely,
but after getting on the green they
were Dad with the puts. The second
but both went down in 1. which is par
for the hole. The tee shots were good
on the third. and also the brassie
shots. but Travis struck his right
stride in putting on this green and
hooked slightly into the rough on the
fourth tee shot, while Travis was cor
rect all the way and ran down
twelve-foot putt.
Buxton. as he again hooked his drive
into the rough. was again in the rough
on his iron shot, while the Garden City
star went through to the cup without
any accidents. Travis topped his third
shot on the sixth hole, but managed to
halve it with Buxton through the me-
dunn Of another brilliant putt. Buxton
went into the side of bunker on this
hole, but by sensational shot got out
so well that the gallery applauded his
rect all the way, straight drive, straight
approach and then down in g while
Buxton landed in pit on his second
shot, tried twice to get out and then
picked up his ball in disgust.
At this point of the tourney Travis
was 5 up and the best his opponent
could do was to halve two holes. The
gallery was looking for a closer battle
and was pulling for the Quaker city
man to win couple of holes.
The short eighth hole was covered in
par by both men, both playing
correct golf. Buxton had his usual
luck on the ninth. going into the rough.
and an iron was necessary to get him
right, while Travis was always straight
and true.
Buxton Six Down.
On the turn for home Buxton had a
down gripping him by the neck. and
it seemed to call up all his reserve
power, and as a result he won his first
hole, going down in 4, while Travis
took 5. The veteran overran his sec
ond shot. while Buxton was up in al
most perfect style. When Buxton
scored his first hole the gallery gave
him the glad hand with q hearty good
will This applause appeared to slim
ulate Buxton and he kept up on the
next two holes for halves. A little
better putting by Buxton would have
given him the twelfth. but he seemed
sduIy AdShluS dt lib part OIL tu6 game.
On the short thirteen Travis went over
the bunker and hit it again in trying
to get back. He nearly saved himself
with a good putt. at that. as Buxton
again missed the hole. but finally went
down in while Travis took S.
Buxton appeared to improve right
along and by a nice putt-and he had
very few of them-he went down in
par on the fourteenth, while Travis
took 5. Travis on this hole hooked
slightly and was in the rough. He
used a brassy on his second shot, to
the establishment of the gallery. and
tried to reach the green. Instead he
was short and on the edge Of the run.
His next shot was of the wonderful
variety. as from bad lie he lifted the
ball so that he was on the green al
most as well as Buxton. Then came
the fifteenth, and both men got away
well with tee and approach shots. but
Travis pulled off one Of his clever
twelve-foot puts and the match was
over with 4 up and 8 to play. Buxton
shook Travis heartily by the hand over
his victory and the pair continued on
through to the home hole. the veteran
keeping up his good work by going
down In on the seventeenth.
