Travis, the United State's most famous golfer, bas announced his retirement from the sport. Word to this effect was sent from Palm Beach, where he has recently been displaying his old-time form in tournaments. Travis's real reason for quitting is the recent ruling of the U, 8. G. A., which makes links architects professionals. This is Travis's present occupation. Travis de- ceded to retire rather than be designated a professional. ‘Travis won the metropolitan title in 1900, the second time it was played for, and to-day, after a period of seventeen years, he still commands a champion’s game.
