Just one word—nerve—explains ¢ secret why Travers was able to wade through star field at Baltusrol, It was pluck and fighting ability that rolled back all amateurs in past year, In the 72-hole championship for the open title Travers didn't make any more highly brillant golf than gernane half @ dosen others. Ho idn’t shatter any course records, but he just plugged all the time, never letting down for an instant, and this Sesiag brand of 9 carried bim past other stars who cracked unde: ap, Was Biron than the other leader's, but Jerry's short game didn't excel Brady and MoNamara, and his driving was yards short of Jim Barnes, Yet th was « difference, not in the game but in the men. Mo- Namara, Brady and Tellier ali had one poor round, which spoiled their chances of heading the ficid. Travers, utterly unmoved by the bitter com- petition and strain, had four consist- ently fine rounds, He never had to hustle to repair the damage of one single high score, The new cham- pion’s roun of 16-—12—13-—76 are all the reasons one needs to kn why the title changed from a profe sional to an amateur. There are tense moments in a golf championship when milur periods in other sports bec mild in com- parison. An instance: Travers be- an the final round with @ one-stroke ead. Brady, Tellier and McDonald were all right behind him, Toward the finish Tellier and McDonald col- od. Brady was paired with 1 ‘Traverse, Their match neared the sixteenth hole. The news filtered down to the gallery that McNamara had slipped in with a 298 total, To beat thie Jerry must g five and two fours, The slightest slip would kil his chances. OMicials with ropes and red flagw had all they could do to keep the excited spectators back. Travers, taking his time, drove off. The ball was seen to light pately on rom the gail Over the bunkers and ditch the fans rushed to gain a better view of the next effort. Travers, lighting a cigarette, was the most the fairway.

(Specie! to The Kvening Workt.) POUGHKEEPSIE, N, Y., June 19.— Shake-ups and shifts without prece- dent in the Columbia and Pennsyl- vania Varsity elghts leave the way open for a mediocre Cornell eight to sweep through to another triumph in the intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson a week from Monday. The Cornell crew is hardly what could be called a standard Cornell eight, but with the exception of Syracuse it will probably find weak oppesition in the big race. Hoth the Pennsylvania and Colum- bia crews suffered most drastic changes last week, with the result t unless a miracle happens neither seems to have more than @ bare fighting chance to pull through, Cornell has not been without set- backs and shifts, but the last of the changes in the Ithaca eight came a day or two after th by Harvard. th since then Charles EB.
