The Double Return

Travis had won the British amateur
championship once and the American
amateur title on three occasions. Travers
had won the American amateur title four
times. Thousands of people have al
ways got their names mixed through
striking similarity of wording and
through a striking similarity in the
achievements of the two players.
Yet when 1915 came It was generally
agreed that both had about seen their
last wears of glory-Travis, at SO, through
the Call of Time the Eternal-and TRAY
ers from less active participation in the
game. Three weeks ago there was not
even a faint flicker of a thought that
Travis could beat Travers and KlrlIby
in succession and win another metropol-
itan-or that Travers could even come
within the first 10 in medal test with
the best of all fields in competition. So
it was a most striking vagary or whim OF
Fate that the Two Travs should circle
back upon the highway and return to
fame almost together,

FATE'S CURIOUS
FREAKS IN GOLF
By GRANTLAND RICE

Sport is full of the freaks of Fate-of
sudden, overwhelming upsets and of
amazing lapses-of unexpected shifts and
variations in form But OF late years
these bewildering upheavals have seemed
to come with increasing frequency. Take
a few late counts:
1el3-Francis Oulmet beat Vardon and
Ray.
191-The Braves came from last place
In July and won a world series in four
straight games.
19t4-McLoughln beat wllding and
Brookes on successive afternoons: Will
Jams beat Mclaughlin and Church beat
Williams.
But even these twists are not more phe-
nomenal in their way than the double
return of Walter j. Travis and Jerome d.
Travers, long ruling names in American
golf

has received several good offers Of
bouts within the past week, one com
ing from Minneapolis promoters, who
want to match him with none other
than the famous Pal Moore, the Mem
phis boy who recently bet Kewpie
Ertle of st. Paul and is credited with
a win over Kid Williams, the cham
pion, about month ago With sever
al real fights in sight, Sinnet finds 1t
hard to make up his mind to retire
from the squared circle. He has new
er been knocked out, much less beat
en-, and he still opines that he will be
able TO fight his way to the top in his
division. Sinnet fought two comeback
battles this fall, winning each by the
K. o. route. aud the fans who Wit
messed these fights claim that he looks
faster than ever.

New York. Dec. 9.-After a lapse of
two years Jerome D. Travers of the
Upper Montclair Country club resumes
the place he has occupied on three
previous occasion as No. / in the selec-
tons of Is hest amateur golfers in the
United States
Travers, besides winning the open
and being defeated in the amateur,
has been rated as Americas best anna
teur in 1907, 1908 and 1912, and he
has been quite near the top On other
occasions. 1t would be unfair to Fran
els Ouimet TO give him lower rat
ing than second, yet he has done none
of those things expected of him except
win the Massachusetts championship
and a couple OF chief cups in the Bos-
ton district.
Ouimet wen the open championship
in 1913 in fashion that forms al
epoch in the history of American golf
and he made good amply by taking
the amateur title last season at Elk
wanok, defeating Trayers to do it
There can be no question that Ouime
is rightfully placed at No. this year
because of his known ability as a golf
er of sterling worth He was beaten a
Greenwich by Dudley A. Nudge, and il
the amateur championship at Detroi
met with early elimination, but still
there are those who believe that il
Ouimet we have even more than fti
ture and past champion--one of tbs
worlds best amateurs.
Robert A. Gardner, the presen
holder of the amateur championship O
the United States and the winner il
1903, is given third position, an ode

Refusal of Noted Promoter to Handle
White Welsh Go Removes Mex
leo as Possibility.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-James Coffroth an
nounced in San Francisco last night
that he would make no further at
tempts to match Champion Freddie
Welsh and Charlie White of Chicago
for a 20-round battle for the worlds
lightweight championship.
This removes Tia Juana, Mexico,
from the list OF bidders" for the
match. Denver withdrew also after
having offered the champion $l2,500
for his end.
According TO Harry Pollok, manager
of Welsh, who is making all the rules,
the bids are to be opened in New
York on Dec Is and the fight is to be
awarded to the highest bidder. He
claimed that Coffroth was making
strenuous efforts to get the fight
| Nate Lewis, Whites manager, ex-
pressed little surprise last night when
Uniformed that Tia Juana had quit the
race.
Il never received any offer from
! Coffroth," said Lewis, Il know him
we'll enough to believe he certainly
would have communicated with me if
! he had entertained any serious inten-
ton of staging the match.
However, / believe New Orleans
and South merica viii submit bids
on Dec. Is, and l still have hopes that
the Denver people will reconsider their
withdrawal and come back into the
game. Pollok undoubtedly has the orig
inal telegram from Denver offering
/ $12,500 and I suppose he will submit
this as a bid. Then it will be neces-
sary to communicate with the Denver
people, in case this happens to be the
TO offer, and ask them if they will
stand by il"
After investigating the situation for
a couple of days White last night de.
cided TO return to Excelsior Springs

ton and will be ready to take the
match on weeks notice, If It is ever
