Jerome TrdUers Sees
Bright Year in Golf

Jerome Travers makes the ap-
pended prediction to golfers of the
United States: | said a year ago
that golf skill in this country had
increased to such an extent that
no man could be rated with even
a fair chance to win a champion
ship. That was proved at Detroit
where within two days the open
champion. the amateur champion
and the Western champion were all
dropped out.
There are now too many good
players for any two or three men
to rule the field, for 1916 will bring
out the best golf that America has
ever known. The improvement was
great through 1915, but | believe it
will be even greater this year on
account of the large number Of
competitions held last season.
These competitions all added to
the experience of the youngsters,
and experience is one of the most
important features of successful
tournament golf. The youngsters
have learned to play their shots
correctly under fire, and this is the
test.

LIGHTWEIGHT
TOURNEY IDEA
OF J. O'BRIEN
Philadelphia Jack Suggests
Elimination Affair to De-
termine Local Champion
OVER 15-ROUND UTE

Who is the representative lightweight
champion of Philadelphia? with 15-round
bouts leEalized in NOrristown, philade-
phia Jack O'Bren this morning suggested
an elimination tournament over that dis
lance to decide upon n definite contender
TO fight under the colors of this city in n
match with Champion Fred Welsh.
I'VE have at least four good light
weights in Philadelphia" said the one
time leading light heavyweight. "includ-
ing Jimmy Murphy. Eddie Mc.\ndrews,
Bobby Reynolds and Pal Moore. Each
OF the quartet Is worthy of recognition
as top-notch boxers. and tournament to
decide which is the best would result in
an interesting affair for fight fans and
also good investment for a promoter.
Chicago has one boxer who stands out
as a likely successor TO Welsh's crown in
Charley White" continued Philadelphia
Jawn. New York is boosting both
Benny Leonard and JOhnny Dundee for a
mix with the lightweight title at stake,
while several other cities are claiming
the real pretender for the laures. Then
why shouldn't Philadelphia decide on
certain individual to drop like a German
bomb in the path of the Englishman?
"As 2O-round bouts seem TO be the
maximum limit for championship contests
at the present time, l5-round encounters
certainly would familiariZe Philadelphia
nghterS with the score of sessions route.
With 15-rOund matches staged but half
an hours ride from the central section of
the city, Philadelphia can gain the
prestige of being a leading developer of
championship material.
AT the present time two big problems
stand out prominently in fight circles here
The bantam question as to supremacy, as
well as the lightweight argument, is hold
ing forth. Local champions of both
classes can be determined by an elimina-
tion process. And with Is rounds to de-
eide, leaders of the respective divisions
could be decided decisively."

who is frankly and keenly hopeful

,..e war, though he is none too opti'
mistic at present, called together rep
resentatives of the neutral press to in.
quire as to the probable effect OF the
German peace note in neutral coun-
tries. He laid great stress on this
point and particularly whether there
would be any tendency to construe the
German note as a sign of weakness.
Discussing the possibility that all
peace propositions may be rejected at
present this officer declared Germany
was aware the the French and British
would make another herculean effort
In the west next spring-an effort Tor
which Germany would be fully pre-
pared. He expressed the opinion that
1t could not have any result other than
continued slaughter, and that 1t would
have no more prospects of success
than the Somme offensive.
Infantry fighting was resumed Sat
urday on the east bank of the Meuse,
In the Verdun sector. During the pre-
yious night the German troops had un-
dertaken no counter attack to regain
the ground they lost as the result OF
the stroke inflicted by the French on
