The retirement Of Walter J.
Travis, the grand old man OF
the links, brings TO mind the
fact that his success In golf
was due almost entirely to his
wonderful nerve.
When IL IN considered that Travis
never played golf until he was 80,
an axe at which most golfers have
reached or passed their prime. his
success Is even more remarkable.
Travis took up golf to benefit
falling health. but was not content
al being a "duffer." He studied
golf and soon learned that he was
not strong enough TO make long
drives off the tee.
Played for Accuracy
To remedy this he played for &C
curacy and on approaches was the
wizard of his time. In a game. his
nerve never failed him, regardless
OF conditions.
Travis became prominent in 1900
when he won the national amateur
championship. For three years se
successfully defended his title.
In 1904 he invaded the English
courses and won the British ma
tional title. being the only Ameri-
can to turn this trick.
Won Title Four Times
Following this. he won the Met
ropolitan championship four times,
but age was beginning TO tell and
he was never really a great factor
In national competition again. His
last great achievement was the de-
feat in 1915 OF Travers.
Friends of Travis say the veteran
won this match on pure nerve after
he had heard that Travers had
complained over having drawn a
Methuselah as an opponent.
Travis is now 90 years old. He
retired from the game because OF

Should both these pitchers come
back into their own Jack Barry

far ms pitchers are concerned.
Wood believes he is going TO be
right this year and that the Bos-
ton management places some con
fidence In his belief is shown by
their reluctance TO trade him. altho
they have carried him at a loss.
Boston has offered 10 trade
Wood for Steve o'keiil, the
Cleveland catcher. and really
has placed him on the market
at his 1918 value rather than
experiment But RS not very
likely Wood will be traded.
Maenates don't like the idea OF
trading a known quantity for
an unknown.
George Foster declared he
would quit baseball when he
found himself slipping. Later he
announced he would like TO play
in the Southern league at least a
part OF this season TO SEQ II he
couldn't get back in shape.
