Parallels Of PLAY

A peculiar feature of the Travers-
Travis records, with nine champion
ships between them, is the general
methods of their play.
To begin. they stand as the two best
putters that golf in this country has yet
shown. They have proved, more than
anything else, the great value of fine
short game. 1t would be hard to say
which was the better putter, since both
had mastered the mystery Of the green
TO such winning extent.
We have heard this matter debated
often enough, but never with any di-
rect, convincing proof either way. OPP
ponents who have faced both say that
Travis was the deadlier on the long
approach putt. with Travers more to
be feared on puts from ten 10 fifteen
feet away.
Their golf temperaments, too, are
much alike. Both mean business. Both
developed the faculty of absolute con-
centration. There was and is 10 both,
in championship competition. a certain
grimes, certain square, awed, com
bative impersonal aggression of spirit
that frequently had a depressing CT
feet upon the opposition.
A golf match to them, in tournament
play, has always been battle that de-
served ones best fight, not merely a
days receeation. You could rarely see
them in conversation with spectators
or with their opponents. They brought,
after all, the best spirit of competitive
play, for IL game is worth playing, IL
is worth the best fight one has to give
and the most complete concentration
upon success. Their opponents soon
found that both were well beyond any
easy encouragement, that neither was
ever beaten until the match was over
Both seemed TO have the reserve power
CT skill that could bring about some
wonderful shot az the decisive moment.
since so many of their matches were
won in this way. To reach these
heights they needed two requirements
Unusual skill and unusual nerve fibre
whether you call it courage, deter
mination or nerve control.
Travis has completed his tournament
course, begun some twenty years ago,
But Travers, still under thirty, should
yet have long way 70 go II business
in the future will give him his chance
again to take the field.

SWEDEN EAGER
TO SEND TEAM
TO THIS SIDE

The recent visit Of the American
track and field team TO Scandinavia
promises 10 be but the forerunner Of
other and more important intersee-
tional athletic contests.
As result OF the competition OF the
team in Sweden, the sum Of 10000
crowns (S44,500) has been subscribed
by the leading patrons of amateur
sport in that country for the financing
Of return invasion Of Swedish ath-
letes 10 the United States during the
summer of 1917. With this sum in
hand it appears almost certain that
Coach Ernie Hjertberg will bring a
team Of from ten 10 twenty Of the
best Swedish track and field perform
ers 20 these shores next season, while
an All-Sweden football team is likely
10 be an additional attraction.
The American athletes brought back
from Sweden an imposing gold and
silver tankard, inscribed TO Simpson,
Murray. Meredith, Ward and LOOMS.
and this has been turned over 10 the
Amateur Athletic Union, which financed
the trip Of the team 20 Scandinavia.
Several suggestions have been adj
vanced regarding the final disposition
Of this trophy, among them being one
70 the effect that il be offered as a
perpetual prize for international ath-
letics between teams representing this
country and those OF Scandinavia. II
is possible that this proposal will be
carried out and the cup put Up for the
1917 games should the Swedish team
come 20 the United States.

NEW YORK TEAM
WINS AT SOCCER
FROM QUAKERS

Philadelphia, Penn. Dec. After a
holly fought contest. remarkable for
the total number of goals scored, New
York emerged winner by the score of Z
goals TO 6 from the annual inter-city
soccer match, played on the ground OF
the Philadelphia Cricket Club. this
afternoon, under the auspices of the
Field Club League and the Philadelphia
Association.
During the early stages Of the game
il looked TO be all Philadelphia, for tina
home team had no less than goals Ia
its credit before the New Workers got
their bearings. Thereupon the visitors
set to work with "A will, and, not only
tied the score. but finished out the
first half with lead Of to 3. This
advantage was increased soon after the
restart to to 3, but the next two goals
went to Philadelphia, so that the teams
were again on even terms up to the last
minute of play. when Kaufman, of
Staten Island, amid breathless excite
ment among the fifteen hundred on
lockers, shot the winning goal.
Two goals in rapid succession by
BOttomley and another by Kennedy
gave the Quakers their 3-point lead,
but great execution on the part of Ad-
amson, the Richmond County star, who
penetrated Philadelphia defence three
times, overcame the seemingly hopeless
handicap. Another by Waters gave
New York the lead. Bottomley, Ken
nedy and Stokes added goal apiece in
the second half for Philadelphia. while
New York's victory was clinched
through goals shot BY Adamson, Mac.
lehman and Kaufman, the first named
being credited with four altogether.

The future Of the boxing game here
AS far as the big bouts are concerned

RICH REVENUES
DERIVED FROM
COUNTRY'S GAME

Washington. Dec. 2.--The magnitude
and importance Of the wild fowl Of the
United States is shown In these plain
statements OF facts given out recently
bv the Department Of Agriculture:
"The State Of Maine estimates The
annual income from its game resources
az $4,000, 900. Of which about per
cent. or S65O.000, can safely be allotted
20 the returns from migratory wild
fowl
"Orcgon values the annual returns
from its game resources at S5,OOV,VOO.
OF this amount about 100000 may
be attributed TO migratory wild fowl.
1T is evident that the actual annual
returns from this source in the several
states reach a very large amount, and
the value Of this resource 20 the nation
amounts 10 hundreds Of millions OF
dollars.
sThe benefits OF the migratory bird
law in conserving and increasing the
wild life Of the country is not confined
solely 10 the game birds. This law also
protects at all times throughout the
United States our insectivorous birds,
which inhabit every state.
"The bureau Of entomology has esti-
mated that insects injure agriculture
and farm products 20 the amount q

FOOTBALLS HOLD
ON PUBLIC SHOWN
BY BIG GAMES

No better illustration Of the popu-
laritv Of football need be cited than
the crowds attending the Harvard ale
and Army-Navy games, played IN New
York and New Haven on the same day
this season, $l53,S0O being paid N ad-
mission charges TO the Yale Bowl, and
receipts from all sources, including a
collection for charity between halves,
totalled $16S.729. The actual attend
ance was close TO 10000. The Army
Navy game. played less than one hun
bred miles away, drew about $4,000
SPECTATORS, Of whom one-third In round
numbers paid SO each for tickets.
This was but small proportion OF
the total amount expended by those
who witnessed the contests. Many came
from distant parts of the country, and
railroad fares. hotel accommodation
and meals cost sums far IN excess OF
the actual amounts paid for admission
to the Yale Bowl and the Polo Grounds.
IL has been estimated that more than
81 900. 600 was spent in New York as a
result Of the playing of the Army-Navy
game IL is fact, notwithstanding the
great number Of hotels in and about
the city, that rooms were unavailable
at any price on Friday and Saturday
nights, and many parties were forced
TO travel to points in Jersey and Penn
sylvania for sleeping quarters.
Similar conditions upon smaller
scale prevailed in New Haven, where, It

MILITARY TONE
TO MOTORCYCLE
SHOW IN GARDEN

Nothing gives a surer guarantee Of
popular interest in the National Motor
cycle, Bicycle and Accessory Show,
which opens in Madison Square Garden
tomorrow night, tnan the prepared
ness" display, on which military ex-
perts, factory officials and the show
management have been cooperating for
weeks past.
This special exhibit will embrace the
latest models Of American motorcycles
as applied TO military service, and will
include machine gun and ambulance
outfits. as well as individual machines
finished in army drab color and used
for scouting and dispatch bearing work.
Wonderful progress has been made
in the last year toward the adaptation
of motorcycles to army service, chiefly
as the result of highly favorable re-
ports made by military officials OF the
warning countries of Europe. No fewer
than 25.000 motorcycles are now in use
by the belligerents for all sorts of mill.
tary service, and of that number fully
10000 are of American manufacture.
The speed and dependability Of the
motorcycle, coupled with the fact that
il offers a small and difficult target,
have made II indispensable behind the
battle lines of the Old World, and the
same qualities are bringing it into play
in all the varied branches of Uncle
Sans army.
The special military display at the
Madison Square Garden show will be
directly in line with the popular spirit
OF the moment, and will be brought
right up 70 the minute by the presence
of several motorcycle dispatch bearers
just returned from the Mexican border.
A whole collection of motorcycles
that have seen border duty, as well as
a full line Of new military models show
ing the great ingenuity Of the designers
in adapting the two-wheeler to the
various needs Of the military folk. will
make the military display strong plea
for patriotism, az well as an instructive
exhibit. The motorcycle show will hold
the boards at the Garden throughout
the coming week.

Tales of a WaySide Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

1901 Amateur championship.
19O3-Amateur championship.
1904-Britsh amateur championship.
Viewing this record with that Of
Travers shown above, it is no wonder
that the names of Travis and Travers
are planted 50 high in American golf.
They have been far and away the
two most consistent amateurs the game
over here has ever known, when the
general average of their play is figured
in.
As Travers, in addition to the above
achievements. won the amateur cham
pionship in 1907 and 1908, giving him
four amateur titles and one open, his
name. so far as achievement and past
records go, belongs at the head Of
American amateur golf. In ten years
of competition he has won five cham
pionships and gone to the final on an
other occasion, a remarkable average
when one knows the sudden and freak
shifts of golf form.
