TRAVIS SEES GOLF
VICTORY FOR YANK
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Walter J.
Travis, only American to ever win
the British amateur golf champion
ship and native of Australia, be-
lieves the chance is great for an
American-born player to capture the
title in the tournament at Muirfield.
Scotland. starting today.
Muirfleld. Travis says, is more like
courses in America than any other to
be found abroad. It is adapted to the
high pitch approach used by Ameri-
cans, whereas the British, facing
heavy winds on most of their courses
have found 1t necessary to develop the
pitch and run.
Travis himself used the pitch and
run when he won the title at Sand
wich in 1904. but he recalls that Bob
Gardner was near the crown at Muir
field, with his looping niblick shots
in 1920, when-he lost to Cyril Tolley
at the 37th hole.
Bobby Jones, Chick Evans and
George Won Elm will carry the Ameri-
can colors farthest, Travis believes.
He likes Won Elm, the little Pacific
Coast star, who lost to Jones in the
American finals at Merton two years
ago. because Won Elm is more accus-
toned to the sort of winds that may
be expected to appear at any time
on a seaside course in Great Britain.
Evans, who twice won the amateur
title, and also held the American
open crown, was not selected for the
Walker Cup team this year, but has
been at Muirf1eld for some days prac-
ticing constantly. His departure for
Europe was a secret, but he is ex-
pected to prove a worthy soldier in
the American attack.

RUTH TOPS IN HOMERS.
BUT HAS BEEN CHECKED

CHICAGO, May "a @.-Babe Ruth
is resting on his laurels as king Of
the home-run sluggers after an at
tack on American League pitching
that put the Bambino we'll ahead.
Ruth clouted his fifteenth homer
last Wednesday, but was stopped in
subsequent games. The leaders:
American-Ruth, New York. Is;
Philadelphia, 6; Combs. New York,

Evening star., 1926-05-24

SO long as Brooklyn can squeeze
through and win games by one-run
margins, their pitchers look good. But
when they are unable to make runs
for their pitchers the latter look just
like any other boZos hurlers.
In the American League there isn't
the slightest chance. as the teams are
going, that either of the sections Will
be wrestling the other to the floor. 1t
would take succession of miracles To
get st. Louis and Boston out of the
second division. and in addition t.
that 1t is a Chinaman's guess even
now as to how the other clubs may
| be placed at the end of the season.
Yanl1s May Yet Strike Snag.
They are having a fine time knock
ing each other down-all except the
Yankees, who hew their way through
virgin forest pretty much at will. Yet
on the road they may run afoul OF
| something which will strand them
| temporarily, so it is out of the ques-
ton to get really good line on their
| personal and team services until they
| have been given an additional test on
the Fairgrounds Of other teams.
The test of the Athletics in winning
| ability is the batting average OF Coch-
rane, catcher. A while ago the Ath
were given away. Dreary guys began
to describe the sad fate of Connie
Mack again and he was pictured as a
haggard and worn old man, when all
in the world that was the matter with
him was the adjustment of his teeth.

mild surprise, but any human being
who can get more than mild sur
prise out Of Connie can find plums
falling off trees at the North Pole.
The trouble with the team was that
Cochrane couldn't make a base hit to
save him from base ball purgatory.
As Cocl1rane Goes.
Cochrane's batting average was al
most minus at one time. Last year
the Athletics had a great Spring win
ming streak. They travelled so fast
that they loomed as pennant winners.
but they didn't travel far. enough.
Most of the time while they were set
ting this pace Cochrane was batting
in the winning runs for them, or
helping to bat them.
Cochrane began to hit the other
day. In a week he jumped his per-
centage more than 50 points and the
Athletics began to run wild. All kinds
Of theories were advanced as to why
they were growing wild. but the prin-
cipal reason was the arrival of Coch-
rane in the batting column.
1t is by no means settled now
whether it will be Washington or
Philadelphia that is better off at the
end of the season, but that little scrap
is overshadowed for the moment by
the combativeness Of that team OF
all nations in New York, which knows
no word in the lexicon except to hit
'em to Helen Gone. whoever she may
be.
