to finish their rounds. Gardner failed
TO qualify, and there was almost uni

was won by William c. Fownes, Jr.. OF

That final at Apawamis was one Of

as the match drew neal its end gained
what seemed like an unbeatable lead.

had not reached his majority. he won
the first Of his four national amateur
titles by playing golf that made his
reputation secure. He eliminated

another Fastener. Archie Graham.

a middle Western course. Travers was
able to play under more familiar condi-

at Garden City. His hardest match was
In the semi-flnal round where he met
the redoubtable Walter J. Travis. who
was on his home course. The champion
beat the former champion by 2 up and
was mighty glad when the match was
over. In the final round Travers played
Max Behr and won by 8 up and l to

The Best GoIf Of All.

Travers that afternoon was the best

to be improving as he went along.
The championship came Fast TO Gar
