There have been finer medal play
scorers developed in America, but when
it comes down to a matter Of match
play this country has never developed
a player beyond the calibre Of Jerry
Travers.
Travers has been beaten here and
there, notably by ouimet, but when all
things are to be taken into considera-
ton his ability to go out and.play
hard match, even when his game 10
slack through lack Of practice, is some
thing more than extraordinary.
Travers more than any other golfer
we have known has the match play in
stinct. Which is to say that he has
the knack of hanging on, Of making
brilliant recoveries, Of turning the tide
at the vital moment
Before business cut in heavily upon
his golf he had won the amateur cham
pionship four times and the open title
once, the best achievement ever estab-
lished by an American amateur.
But when two years ago he was
forced to quit tournament play it was
taken for granted that his game would
suffer. Probably in some respects, 1t
has. But when called upon Tor the Dig
test he is still able to recall the old
form which carried him to the top.

Rugby Star Meets
Death in the War

London, July 26.--The latest casualty
list issued contains the names Of a
rumber Of prominent sportsmen who
have made their mark in every branch
Of British sport. Lieutenant A. F.
Botham, died of wounds, was educated
at Merchant Taylor's School and Clare
College, Cambridge, where he was a
wrangler in 1911 and captained the
college Rugby fifteen.
The well known English Rugby in
ternational G. E. B. Dobbs was struck
by she'll while returning from pros
pecting a new cable trench in the front
line and died the same day. He did
valuable work during the retreat from
Mons, and was three times mentioned
in dispatches. Dobbs played for Eng
land versus Wales and Ireland in
l905-'06.
Another famous Rugby international
player, Stanley II. Williams, has been
wounded. He played for England in
all the 1911 games.
Lieutenant A. S. Richardson. killed,
was captain Of the Brighton College
soccer eleven and gymnasium team, and
also held the college record for the
quarter and half mile. In 1918 he en-
tered Caius College. Cambridge, which
he represented at football.
The well known jockey G.. F.
Butchers has been missing for the
last two months, and it is feared he
has been killed. The last heard of him
was that at considerable risk he went
out to fetch an ambulance for the pur-
pose of carrying away a companion
who had been badly wounded. He was
the son Of the famous Lewes trainer,
and his successes included the Inter
rational Hurdle at Gatwick.

Rutgers Determined
To Play Football

New Brunswick, n. J., July 2s.-
Rutgers will positively 60 through
with her football schedule next fall,
and one or two games are almost sure
to be played in New York, while an
other will be contested at Newark.
The war will not interfere with the
schedule, even IL entirely new and
green men have TO be used. II is ex-
pected, however, that team Of the
usual calibre will be put in the field.
Only two members of last years
team who remain in college are of
military age, and IL is believed that
there are enough veterans under the
age limit TO form a good basis for
an eleven. Several stars have en-
listed, however.
Captain Kendall, one OF the men OF
military age, will not be called in the
first draft The other, Bulge Gar
rett, the Indian star, Is an unknown
quantity. II has been impossible &c
find out whether he has been drafted.

Entertainment on Special
Tho entertainment starts when the
1885 special begins to fill up. These are
some of the things which may be
found in one day--a repulsive, rodent
like Semitic gentleman, whom every
one hates at sight, reading letter be-

only pray that she never would see

Two Examples

Here are two examples. Last season,
with Val Birmingham, he was pit.eo
against Chick Evans and John u. An
derson.
Before this match Travers had played
but little golf and was well OH ms
game. On the Sunday before ne had
played Wykagyl in S4. Evans was
trife overgolfed, but still playing we'll
Pitted against Evans, Travers imme-
diately got new grip upon MS game
and turned in the brilliant score OF ~
by all odds the best score Of the day.
A few days ago, in the English-Ama-
tour match, he was put in against Oh
Nichols. Few thought the amateur had
a chance against the brilliant, slashing
Gil. Travers had played little golf this
spring, and in no tournament Tor near
lv two wears. Yet, with q big gallery
on hand and the lure Of match play
upon him, he once more settled grimly
70 the task, and while 2 down early IN
the match soon caught his stride again
and finished 3 up. -.
And. as in the old days, at the criti-
cal point Of the match he struck with
his greatest force, winning three hoies
in a row by fine recoveries and hne
putting. .,.
well and to putt with effect is great
asset in match play. Travers's oppo-
nent. we will say, is on the green IN
through two fine shots. Travers IS
framed on his second apparently
beaten. He then thumpt one TO the
green and sinks his putt par, while
his opponent, in place c. an easy win,
finds that he has to siak or foot
mutt for a half. This Is trife more
than disconcerting. Only the strongest
sort of constitution can stand up under
II for very many holes. The opponent
soon begins to realize that no matter
what mistakes TraYers may make ne Is
still In the fight. Here is one example
in his match against Nichols They
were all square at the ninth. Az the
tenth Trayers sliced his tee shot out
OF bounds, while Nichols was straight
down the course. Nichols was tribe
better in / than Travers was in 2.
Travers then, with a hard pitch TO
make, damned a msshie shot to within
four or FIVE inches of the cup for an
easy half. Az the thirteenth hole he
was apparently beaten again. Nichols
had A 3-foot putt for a 3. Travers was
fifteen feet away. The latter sank his
15.footer, and Nichols missed, losing
a hole that seemed sure win.
IL would be impossible to figure tho
number Of holes Of this type Travers
has won in his career. They are al
most numberless. He has at least
three shots, among others, that are in
valuable in match play: First, ability
10 recover from a trap or from the
rough; second, fine control Of short
chip shot of tho green; third, ability
20 putt. And In some way he seems TO
have this combination going az its best
in a hard battle. The harder the match
the better he seems TO play these three
shots, however the rest OF the game may
20. And these shots mean more than
trife. They mean That II you are

Travers is now only thirty-one years
old. He still has twenty years OF
tournament golf left, and he has shown
that he can get back upon his best
game in short order. He is far from

discover when tournament golf is re-
