Bailey's condition was ur1-
changed. He was still semi-con.
scious and on the dangerous list.
Mrs. Bailey and their young
daughter rushed from Toronto to
be at the bedside of the seriously
injured player.
The Leafs right winger was
knocked to the ice during the
Leafs-Bruins game here Tuesday
night when Eddie Shore, Bruins

ager of the Toronto team, was at

not guilty in district court to a

later, and had a thrilling match
to win, 3 and 2. That same aft-
ernoon Jerry took a lesson from
Frank Bellwood, the Garden City
pro, found out his troubles, and
sailed through the field to win
his fourth and last amateur title.
Jerry, as has been told, was con-
vinced that he could not play
medal golf and his belief was con-
firmed in the fact that Chick
Evans up to the time TraverS won
his last title in 1915 had won tho
medal in five amateur qualifying
rounds, but had yet to capture any
major crown. Jerry won four amAr
teurs without ever leading the
field in the elimination but, fired
by Ouimet's stirring victory IN
1918, decided to see what he could
do at Baltrusol in the 1915 open.
Uses His Noodle
With 18 holes to play, leading
King Mike Brady by a stroke,
Jerry knew he had chance, and.
fortunately for his match play
temperament, he was paired with
Mike, giving him the element Of
a hand-to-hand com bat. He
thought Mike was the man he had
to beat; ergo, he beat Mike.
But with four holes to play
hard-luck Brady was out Of the
running and Tommy McNamar2
was in with 298. Jerry claims he
won his open at the 18th, where
he was still 220 yards from the
green after his tee shot. He had
two deep traps to carry from .
hanging lie. So he used his head,
selected a midiron and decided to
try for a chip shot and one-putt
for his four. That midiron remains
in his mind as the hardest shot he
had to play in his whole career.
But he did it, =

mittmen next Monday-the at

the Maryland.Michigan basketball
game earlier in the evening at the
Ritchie Coliseum.
Coach Jack Harmony is still un-

but it is expected that Harry Car

in the 125-pound class, Lyman Nc
Aboy will get the call in the 155-
pound bout, Frank Hawkins in the
165-pound class and Stewart Nc
Cav in the 175-pound division.
The team has been drilling
earnestly for this match for the
past 10 days and, on the whole, is
confident of making a commenda'
BILE showing.
The Old Line basketball squad
also has been engaging in torrid
drills for the Michigan game. The
team has been specializing in the

it expects to use during the cam

points. Jack Crowley was the next
best player.
Bill Noonan, Jimmy Howell and

Look it over, Jerry TraverS' rec
ord: Four amateurs, 1907, 1908,
1912 and 1918, repeating each
time; five metropolitans, 1905
1907, 1911, 1912 and 1918, and
four Jersey championships, 1907,
1908, 1911 and 1913.
Unquestionably, Jerry was a
match-play golfer; his record
proves that. Yet, at the end OF
his career, he showed himself a
champion in all respects by win
ming the national open! -Four
amateurs in seven years and
runner-up in a fifth during a pc,
riod when the simon-pureS were
harder to shake off than the
professionals!
Second Shot Counted
TraVerS became a champion in
spite of terrific disadvantages. His
slight physique, his nervous tenn,
perament, faults in his style, his
swing, his grip, all combined to
make golf work rather than
pleasure; yet he won every one
of his titles without the aid of a
wooden club, which meant that
he had to play the odd nine times
out of ten. What was the an
SWer?
Simply this: Jerry went on the
principle that it was the second
shot that counted. He may have
been shorter from the tee, but he
was invariably nearer the pin
with his heart breaking second
shot. What a putin fool he was!
He adapted unto his own needs
Travis center shafted Schenec-
tady, only he put an aluminium
head on his, unquestionably the
easiest of all putters with which
to putt. Through the years Jerry
has stuck to the Schenectady and
today he is engaged in the buSi-
ness of selling them to the golt :
ing world - and engaged most
successfully, too.
Witness a few horrible exam
pies in the Amateur: 1915, 1852;
1918, 1865; 1912, 1856; 1911, 1853,
an average of about 80. He still
has Nightmares about that never
to-be-forgotten playoff for last
place at Garden City in 1913,
where he was defending his ANA
teur title.
Just Gets In
He couldn't hit a mashie shot
to save his life that day and at
the end of nine holes faced a
total of A strokes. He came back
in a brilliant 35 for a 70. But
that wasn't the end. In the aft
ernoon he got steadily worse and'

pitch with a mashie, he took
