JEROME D. TRAVERS
AFTER OLD CROWN
Former Champion Is Entered
in New Jersey Tourney Over
Norwood Links.
By KERR N. PETRIE.

Last year Jerome D. Travers made an
attempt to regain the New Jersey State
Golf Associations amateur champion
ship and failed. There have been ru-
n,ors around for several weeks that
Jerome never again will seek the road
where the thistles grow, where the path
leads upward and where the burning
sun packs an extra load upon the
shoulders of the struggling. perspiring
wayfarer. 1t is so much easier to
dawdle alof. in the shady lanes or loll
beside the 1impid pools.
But Travers is not exactly built that
way 1t seems. In his makeup there
is something of the battle charger He
has been through the mill and likes it.
And so his name has been received once
more for the New Jersey championship.
which Is to be decided Thursday. Fri
day and Saturday OF this week over the
Norwood links.
Travers has won the New Jersey title
so often as to make It appear that the
tournament no longer could give him o
thrill. There Is something in coming
back" however. thrill enough in proving
to ones friends that the old charger is
still At for battle.
Travers was out in the triangular
match at Morris County and playing we'll
enough, everything considered. That he
can do still better he is anxious to
prove. Physically he Is better than he
has been in years, and with ten pounds
more avoirdupois to aid him than he
had last summer there Is just the pos
sibiity that he may surprise good
many at Norwood. Last year at Canoe
Brook Travers seemed to be headed for
the old title. but he tired and was
eliminated after putting up an inter-
esting battle.
The name of Oswald Kirkby does not
appear among the entries and that of
William Reekie, winner two years ago.
is also missing.s But that magic name
Travers covers multitude of oms-
sions. Nor Is the Upper Montclair, star
having the way cleared for him despite
the failure OF Kirkby and Reekie to re-
pert. Players OF the caliber OF L. NJ
