Star Match PLAYER

Even if Travers is not yet back to his
old stride, no one who meets him will
look for anything but battle. For he
stands as one of the greatest match
players of all time, a golfer who, in
spite of decided weakness with the
wood, was able to win four amateur
crownsI
Travers attained most Of his success
through his deadly accuracy with the
putter and his grim, fighting deter
mination to stick TO the finish.
With the possible exception Of
Walter J. Travis. Travers has always
had the finest and keenest concentra-
ton in the field. A big part Of his sue
cess has been due to his ability to CEN
ire his complete concentration on the
next shot to be played, whether from
tho fairway or from the bottom of a
pit. He was never one of those who
brooded over q mistake. He figured
that part Of it belonged to the past, to
be wiped from his memory. The result
was that even in a deep pit or in other
trouble he was always dangerouss for
you could always bank on him to play
each shot with all he had.

Good Throwing Arm Essential
To Prolonged Stay in Majors

garden. He gets the ball away quickly,
can throw a considerable distance and
with accuracy. Those who saw the big
opening Sunday game between the
Giants and Phillies can attest to this
fact.
Showing Youngs Power
In that game, with Philly runner
on first base, the batter hit into right
field. The runner got a good start and
it appeared he would make third easily.
Young set himself, and on receiving
the sphere rose and shot the ball to
third. 1t plunked into Zimmerman's
hands at third and the runner was
nailed by at least five feet. Walker
and Hooper are much the same sort of
throwers.
Those who possess exceptionally
strong arms are infelders Blackburne,
Of the Phillics; Smith, of the Braves;
Groh, of the Reds, and Baird, of the
Philles. and outfelder Burns, of the
Giants. In the American League, in
fielders Weaver, of the White Sox;
Peckinpaugh, of the Yanks; Witt, of the
Red Sox, and Gardner, of the Indians,
and outfelders Lewis and Wick, of the
Yanks, and Speaker, of the Indians,
rank with the best in the matter of
winging.
Ball hxnna, the veteran baseball
writer, who has seen them all. says
that IN getting a ball away quickly
Dugan is the best he ever saw. But
the fellow, professional or amateur
who owned the best arm for hcaving q
baseball was Harry LIE Gore, the Yale
star athlete" Hanna added:
"Le Gore could shoot ball knee
high and have it carry clear across the
diamond at the same level. 40 in
stance of his remarkable throwing was
seen in game at Yale Field at
the time he was starring at shortstor
for Old Eli. With a runner on third
the batter hit into deep short lie
Gore fumbled, recovered and snapped
the ball to the plate in time to nail
the runner as he slid into the plate"

Except for Terrific
Beating Willard OK
Says Toledo Doctor

Professor Jim Byrne, official physi
clan of Toledo athletic club, gave
Jess Willard, loser of the champion
ship, an exhaustive examination and
later told what he found was wrong
with the big fellow.
Briefly, the Byrne statement amounts
to about this:
"Willard's jaw was dislocated and is
giving him a great deal of pain. His
frontal bone on the right side of his
face was shattered, and from what I
saw it seems to me that an operation
will be necessary before he gets the
right sort of relief. The ex-champion
has other injuries and decorations, but
none of them is of serious character.
His floating ribs are mashed and de-
cidedly painful, and it will take some
time for them to get back to normal.
"All told, l should say that it will be
at least six weeks before Willard is
back to FORMAL condition and able to
move about comfortably" said Byrne.
HE got tremendous beating and, due
possibly to his rather soft condition,
was an easy victim to the heavy
punches of Dempsey"

Ross Young, of Giants,
Is a Clever Thrower;
Peck Ranks With Best

Who has the best throwing arm of
the big leaguers? That is, of course,
excluding battery men. for they are
supposed to possess exceptionally good
arms.
Such a question put to q group of
baseball experts, fans or players, would
undoubtedly draw q wide divergence
OF answers. Nevertheless. there are
several players in each league who
stand out in the matter Of throwing
arms that possess both speed and ac-
curacy.
These players are Rabbit" Maran-
vile, of the Boston Braves; Ross
Young, of the Giants, and Rogers
Hornsby, of the Cards, in the National
League, and Joe Dugan. Utilize"
Walker. Of the Athletics, and Harry
Hooper, of the Red Sox, in the Ameri-
can League.
Despite the fact that all big leaguers
are supposed to own powerful whips,
there are only about dozen in each
league whose throwing ranks above the
ordinary. 1t is false belief, especially
as far as outfielders are concerned,
that a player to succeed in the majors
must have powerful arm.
Good Arm Advantage
1t is big advantage, of course, for
player to have powerful whip, but
getting throws away quickly is much
more important than throwing fast
balls, especially as regards inielders.
Maranville and Dugan are outfielders
Of the rare type, who can throw fast
ball and at the same time get away
quickly.
The rabbit" has a sort Of over
hand motion which carries the ball on
q line and as straight as an arrow.
The Bostonian, for that matter, can
throw from any position, but generally
he relies on the overland sweep.
Dugan throws with a side-arm mo-
ton. This throw, although about as
fast as Maranville's, is not quite as
accurate, but in getting the ball away
without any loss of time, there is little
to choose between the two. In ground
covering Meanwhile has little the
advantage, being able to 90 to his
right better than the Athletics youngs-
ter. Hornsby is a star in the matter of
throwing, as we'll as good ground
ccverer.
Young, Walker and Hooper ton the
outfelders in their respective leagues
when it comes to hcaving tho bail. The

spect that has ever Rraced the outer

Why He Is Feared

Here is one of the many reasons why
Travers will still be feared by any
opponent he meets.
In 1916, when the Red Cross cham
pionships were played, Travers had
been off his game. He had played but
little, and none too we'll. During this
carnival he was called upon to meet
three of the star professionals of the
game on three successive days. The
list called for him to meet Walter
Hagen at Garden City: Gil Nichols at
Baltusrol and Jock Hutchinson at
Siwanoy. No one figured Travers with
a chance to win a match. Yet he
pulled himself together, beat Hagen
and Nichols and carried Jock Hutchin-
son to the final hole, where the slash
ing Scot was forced to beat par on a
545 yard hole to turn the trick.
With the pressure at its greatest he
came back again in his best game
Against Hagen, an open champion, he
was playing badly at the start and
Hagen admitted that ne thought he had
a romp. But in place of being dis
couraged he continued to plug along
until Hagen suddenly realized that
Travers had forged on ahead.

Allies Put Ban
OnAlienEnemv
Thoroughbreds
Severe Blow to Breeding
Activities of Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey

The decision of the English and Bel
gian jockey clubs to bar from participa-
tion in racing. and the refusal to &C
cept for registration in the English
Stud Book any alien enemy horses will
be a crushing blow to the horse breed
ing activities of Germany, Austro-
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Thoroughbred sires, most of them Of
English lineage, were the foundation
of the great army and racing studs
developed by Germany and Austria
Hungary. The best were none too
good in the establishment Of type of
general purpose horse. The English
More, each cost $4,000. The Thou
sand Guineas winner, Kirk Connel. and
ST. Maclou, the grandsire of Harry
Payne Whitney's Vindex. were among
the other fine sires that were available
to farmers and breeders at nominal
fee.
The Russian government originally
purchased Galtee More, and he was
subsequently acquired by Germany
chiefly on the recommendation OF
Count Lehndorf, who had charge of
Is
English Studs Drained
The records of the English Stud
Book show that for the twenty years
prior to the outbreak of the war $3.50
entire thoroughbreds--som Of which
sequently gelded-were imported from
Great Britain by Germany. During
the same period there were approx
mately 1000 tillies taken from England
for German account. 1t is reasonable
to assume thai during the same time
heavy drains were made upon French
and Belgian studs.
The French Jockey Club has not as
yet taken any formal action regarding
alen-owned horses, but they may con-
fdently be expected to follow the lead
lands great turf events are open to
the world, but France has with few ex
ceptions no big turf prizes for horses
foaled outside OF the republic.
Spain, which has within the past few
years taken great strides in racing and
breeding, chiefly due to the active
sympathy md participation of King
Alfonso, VIII Sc rom de course is Duke
of Toledo, viii probably furnish an
asylum for German turfmen who yearn
to win honors outside their own coun-
try.
U. S. Action Unknown
Whether the Jockey Club of America
will take any action in the premises
remains to be seen. The United States
is so remote from the interdicted coun-
tries that there is little likelihood of
any German bred or owned thorough
breds being sent here for competitive
purposes.
Germany maintained racing on a
more or less pretentious scale during
the war, and there was no let-up in
breeding. The future, however, will
probably find her in the open market
Of the world bidding for the best blood
obtainable. She will be forced to take
this course in order to keep up the
standard of her horses.
The entire situation in a nutshell
would seem to be that the Allied turf
authorities do not propose to let the
enemy reap any benefit from the thor
oughbreds they pilfered during the
war.

Championship Contenders. No. 3,
Jerome o. Travers

Jerry Travers faces the amateur
championship at Oakmont with some
thing of an edge on the field so far as
past performances so. He has won the
amateur title four times and has
bagged the open once. But four years
have slipped by since Travers was
stopped by Max Marston's spectacular
golf at Detroit in 1915, so it is hardly
likely that he will be among the first
three favorites unless he happens to
be going at a fast clip before the car
nival starts.
No golfer who saw Travers's last
stand against Marston will ever for
get the battle he made against over
whelming odds. To be up and play
the last II holes exactly even with par
will win in championship 40 times
out of 30. Travcrs struck the 5oth
chance that day and has never had a
chance since to take another whack
at it.

Working to Get Back

So far this season Travers hasn't vet
reached his old steadiness. But he has
shown flashes, at least, with rounds
of 10 and "a over test courses. He has
had his old trouble with the wood and
has also had more bother with the
putter than he generally knows. He
has had more than usual trouble in
acquiring the old touch. But under
pressure he is very likely to got going
again and while his steadiness may not
be sufficient to carry him through. he
will still be listed as one Of the most
cange rous entries of them all.

heels fairly close together, you could
never see the semblance of sway to
his body or an up tilt from his head
as the putter hit the ball. And there
was an even, easy rhythm to the back
and forward swing of his putter that
seemed to insure success in advance.
One of the features of his play was
his ability to maintain this even
rhythm in his hardest matches and at
times when he was worn down with
his nervous system at raw edge. He
may have slipped badly in other parts
of his game, here and there, but on
the greens we can't recall a match out
Of a great many where he lost his
deadly touch.

away and the rumor stalked abroad
that he had won his last title. He
failed to appear in Chicago in 1909 or
at Brookline in 1910. He was beaten
by Hilton in 1911. And then, when his
golf seemed to be at a low ebb. he
suddenly came back and won two ad-
ditional championships in 1912 and
1913, beating both Evans and Ouimet
to turn the double trick.
Travers undoubtedly has the heart
or soul of a champion Four amateur
titles and one open are proof enough
of this. And given this foundation for
a start, he has something to build on
that always yields him chance. It
nay be that he will come back in 1919
as he came back in 1912, when few fig
ured that he would ever reach the tor
again.
Travers is something more than q
fine .putter- No golfer plays a long
iron better and few have any big edge
on him with the mashie. Certainly no
other has finer control of the chip shot
from ten to twenty yards off the green.
TINS is one of his favorite strokes and
Alex Smith once offered to bet that
from ten to twenty yards away Travers
would beat any American golfer to the
hole, amateur or pro, five times out OF
eight. -
