rope was, Of course. in evidence, and,
considering the crush, the crowd was
handled admirably.
Sometimes the players had TO drive
between lanes Of humanity rarely seen
on a golf course. The picture pre-
scented as they stood on the seventh
tee will long be remembered. TINS
hole is nearly a third Of a mile IN
length, vet the entire distance from
tee 10 green was one unbroken line OF
spectators.
Il isn't in human nature 70 play
under the stress Of a close inlsh lh

casion8l slip so Travers, even If ne is
a great puttcr, may be pardoned ior
his occasional lapses on the greens.

Although overlooked in the light Of
Travers's achievement, 1t should not
be forgotten that James A. Donaldson
Of Glen View. performed n feat in the
afternoon that every man had been try

far ms gaining him a position among
the prize winners was concerned, yet
he has the satisfaction Of knowing that
he had done what no other man had
accomplished there.
Donaldson Gained Honor.
Plenty of players have gone out in
SO and have come home in "a, but II
did not happen in sequence. Donald
son was greatly aided with long puts
on the second, fifth, seventh and tenth
holes, and not one was less than
dozen feet. He also missed three wee
ones. on the third, fourth and thlr-
tccnth.
With all Of that, there were times
when he had a chance 10 use ms
favorite mashie for chip shots, such as
on the twelfth, seventeenth and eigh-
teenth. and in each instance he LAID
tho ball almost stone dead, He made
two mistakes on his drives the
third. where pull was the result, and
on the thirteenth and his recovery
from a bunkcred second shot on the
long sixteenth was n marvel. lie
reached the green in three and got his
five.
