HIGH WATER FOR LOCAL 4
Expects Good Founder Fishing In Jamaica
Hay This SprinG.

Charlie Noehren OF Goose Creek. on the ia
maica Bay trestlework. was In town on FRI
day and he expressed himself In regard TO
the incoming founder season. The fish
should be plentiful this year, said Mr..
Noehren, and there Is every indication that
they will be. There will be plenty OF food
In the bay, and now that the ships are out
and no more oil being spilled about, the
food will not be tainted or favored with oil.
AS late as last October l took hold OF
cables on my own boats that were tied to
my own float only to find the cable thickly
coated with tar oil, which adhered TO my
hands This has been the experience OF
many boat fiveries on Jamaica Bay. and we
are all deeply appreciative OF the fact That
the boats are now out. IL has been rumored
that movement was on 20 get them back,
and II this Is true. said Mr.. Noehren, the
baymen should have the wholehearted sup
mort OF the newspapers TO keep them out.
Every now and then statements are made
that the fishing In Jamaica Bay IL done. and
along comes n season Of weakfsh fluke
or both that even eclpses OF the
past This great body OF water Is bound to
be refuge for fish until kingdom come and
we win have our good and our poor seasons
lust MS we have had them in the past. II is
tho most accessible grounds for Brooklyn and
New York anglers, for man can be at his
desk at o'clock and be fishing comfortably
In Jamaica Bay at 2, from most sections OF
tho city.

THEY WERE CHAMPIONS
6---WALTER j. TRAVIS
n, KERR n. pErRIE.

In this hard driven age of sporting
ntivity il seems scarcely credible that
in game that is played from the
cradle to the grave and for many years
las drawn into active participation the
cream OF the athletic youth of the ma
tion a man could De champion at the
age of SO. That. however, is the proud
distinction OF Walter j. Travis, who in
l9l5--which. according to the records,
was just fifty-three years after he had
first seen the lght of day--anncxed the
metropolitan amateur championship from
a magnificent field playing at Apa-
wants.
Travis. 1t can truthfully be said. was
Americas first great champion. Since
he passed from the scene as winner OF
national titles other great players have
taken his place. Others will surely fol-
low in their day and generation, but
when the hand of time had marked not
years but centuries into the royal and
ancient game the name of Travis still
will be emblazoned on the scroll. Yes,
and II will remain bright when the
names of celebrities yet TO come are dull
and tarnished.
Won British Amateur Title.
After eighteen years the grand old
man OF American golf still can point
with pride to a feat accomplished by no
other who learned the game l. these
United States-the winning OF tie Brit
ish amateur championship. Evans.
Ouimet and Travers In winning the
American open title all nave done what
the Garden City wizard never accom-
rlxhed. And yet repeated attempts SO
far have shown the British crowE to be
something beyond their reach.
In all Travis won the national anna
teur honors three times. Jerome Ira
vers with four successes is the only one
who has beaten him.. !, The Garden City
star rolled up his three victories from
1900 to 1903 and then went to Sandwich,
where he proceeded to astonish the ma
tives.
Golfers of younger genera ton who
may feel disposed to underestimate the
! value of a championship in the early
days of the present century are silenced
by that lone American success in Great
T:ritain. Everything considered Travis's
golf and the golf of the stars OF those
days was just as brilliant as is that of
the headliners of the present. II there
is any doubt about 1t merely hark back
to 1915 and the metropolitan champion
ship. where a man handicapped by the
weight of SO years bowied the field be-
fore him. Travis retired from active
competition in that year. but he had won
his fourth metropolitan championship.
When weighing Travis and his record
in the balance 1t has to be borne in mind
that golf did not come naturally to the
Man with the Black Cigar. The sport
hit America when Walter ]. was well
beyond what is spoken of as the forma-
tive age. Furthermore, opportunities
for watching and initiating other stylists
were rare enough in those days.
rs BeEan Late I'm Life.
1t would be hard to find one among
the present generation of stars who did
not swing the clubs in youth. Travis
started to swing them when his muscles
The New York herald., 1922-03-12

were well set He never did acquire
swing that even remotely approached
that of either Evans, Ouimet or Jones
In point of beauty or rhythm, but by
perseverance, diligent study and applica-
tion of the underlying principles he did
succeed in building up swing that was
fundamentally sound and practical.
In the days when Travis was beating
his men he was beating them hip and
thigh. He won the qualifying medal as
well as the cups and titles in 1900 and
1901. Then in 1902, year in which he
lost to e. NJ. Byers of Pittsburgh in the
third round Of the amateur tourney. he
tied for second place in the national
open championship played over his home
links at Carbon City. The man in the
deadlock with Travis was Stewart
Gardner, the Garden City professional.
Each had an aggregate for the seventy
two holes of 313. Laurie Auchterlonie
won the title with a score of 307.
