Travers and Bekr Will Not Fight
It Out for Amateur Golf
Championship.
Finishing «ith a sequence of par bOSM when all
seemed lost. JwoSM D. Trivprs. the national title
holder, pulif-d his match BSjt <if th«- fir. ar." de
f«-at»^l Walter J. Travis by 2 up in the semi-final
roand sjff the amateur coif championship tourna
mrnt at liarii.-!; <"it\ yesterday. The other winner.
ilax Behr. 5«-<-ured the verdict over Fred Herre-
Fhofr by l up after an extra hole had been
necessary. Travr? .ir.<! Behr will meet in the
thirty-s'x hole final round to-day, with Travers a
■trong favorite.
In many raspeeM the Travers-Travis match v.iii
jro down In polf Bsstary as cne of tlie»frreatest con
tests ever played between aaiateara, and Incl
■aatally the meeting- marks th. leartef; .lown of
Travis from hi» throne as the thirty-six hole kins
after an dnhrshoa reipn of nine years. Throughout
the day the rivals were never more than two holes
npart and on sjsjaMlwai occsostetn they were all
«juarr. The finish. If -a trifle unesnei only
served as another illustration of the champion's
class, and it is doubtful if nny other livinc ama
i*ur could have ■imuilUtMsilCal what Travers did
under similar conditions.
The turning point of the match was at the phort
twelfth hole in th» afternoon. When they started
to play this hole Travis stood | up. and. nl
ihouph his tee s"t-ot went wild, t'nr Garden <"ity
man recovered l«eautifully. p*tditaaj ov-r one of
the billowy formations to within S yard of the cup.
It was then up to Trsvrs. whose tee shot, al
(hsassjh on the jrr»en. left .-,im partially behind one
of th.- mounds SO that he could not get an open
fhot to the hole.
After lone ießberatiaa the Mnnt<-lair player teok
ni? aluminum putfr. whereupon his oj.>pon»rit wns
*»e-i to shake his head, plysMs; that in nis .i'lde
xmat Travers was taking the wron? club. It mieht
hiv. b»en possible to pitch th» ball dead with "a
bashie. Net 'he risk T<-oij]d ha«<e be«m gr»a.t. j»» it
•was, Travers, who had to put over the bSI probably
p^t o« close as possible osjsjer th» circumstances.
fsr the ball, patheriner mim^nt'sm on the downward
flope. Tolled fu!iy ten fert beyond the hoi".
Tt was a Critical mo-morit for the yountrer play«r.
a* 1t Messed almos; any odds that Travis •would
hole bss short put. With niisjsjiiiiTsrt— ' --ooiness the
champion ran his ba dosrn for a .".. while a few
ffconfis later Travis, to ev*ry one's amazement,
Tni?«'! th» Tr-ee one. That meant a vast difference,
for N brought th» pair level once more, when a few
moments before it had Isokad like 2 up for Travis
The latter tried (he put over twice afterward, and
missed bets time*.
A half-topped drive to the Ions; thirteenth gave
Travers a fJsBOBIt second shot to negotiate, and. al
though he carried th» road, the ball pulled a trifle
to the left at the end and stopped on the edge of
a trap From there he reached another pitfall
«-lose to the green, co that TTavis, who had made
rto mistakes, won the hale in E to B. Again at the
fourteenth Travers pulled his Ortre to a trap, and,
taking two shots tr. get out. lost with another 6.
Here was the champion 2 down, with enly four
noles to play, an apparently hopeless situation
against a man like Travis To the fifteen neither
man pot good seconds, Travis pulling his to a trap
and Travers slicing a trifle, so that the ball came
to rest on the thirteenth, which joins the fifteenth.
From the trap the veteran got to within fifteen
feet of the pir, Sfhlle Travers on the like overran
fully twenty feet.
This was another critical moment for the title
holder. for a halve would 6t!71 leave him 2 down
and the end in sight. The hole, was considerably
lower than the ball, yet Traverp mavde the stroke
boldly and brought it off for a. 4. Travis rimmed
the cup on the Jike. but the miss was hp good as
a m!le.
Now only 1 dowr. Travers proceeded to give him
self a dßsscull seoond by driving to the edge of the
road, ii-;: he got home beautifully ■ a his next.
Travis, on the otiier hand, sliced his second to the
rough, the ball just touching a spectator on the
lee; as it *;«-<i into trooMe. From th<re Travis whs
unable t-. get better than a t>, while the other,
making no mistakes, won In a par 4. thereby squar
ing the match.
A polled drive to the parallel trap at ih» seven
teenth cost Travis ■ stroke, a:id. after playing out
•hort. the vot*ran again sliced his third. It was
the samt driving iron which had failed him several
iirrifF durins the day. In the mean tim« Travers
"sMunj;" a beautiful second shot fully 231 yards to
the creen. The otlifr man's ball was in the long
grass, under ti-,.- trees, and it seemed a forlorn
hope, even for a bslf. As he was about to make
the shot t!i»» IkOI in the tower of the St. Paul's
School, hard by. toiled out la doleful aotes. The
hull fell short o* the flag some twenty feet, and
when he missed the pnl the hole was lost 6 to 4.
Xov dormie one, Travers took no chances of going
Into one of the yawning traps by ptaylns; w« l: over
to the centre of the green, about thirty feet from
the flag. It was do or die with Travi*. who. in his
efforts to lay his t.-f siiot dead, pulled i? into
1 rouble. As the ball disappeared in tta< gravr-like
dej.jession an unfe<-lirjg bystander remarked: •'He's
I i:rie-j in ibe pit be dug for others."
Travis tried to get out with his uibiick. bul the
ball only struck the side, and rotted hack. Once more
he tried, and as the ball .-^a::i f«U back Travis.
! ah? Blood. said. "Goodby." Tli-f- was a touch
of sadness in this brief observation on the pan of
the veteran, who had prepared so long and care
fully for this tournament. After h!s second In
effectual try to get out lie picked up, and the
BJBtcfa. 'was over.
Probably never saain win Travis have a belter
rhance to regain the national title hr. lost i;i |«x
Taking it all In all. the match wa« replete with in
teresting situations. First ooa and then the other
would bring off a brilliant shot. Travers generally
had the loncer bsJL and hie recoveries were fre-
BSjeSjCh/ worthy of a Vardon.
In the morning he laid a 100-yard third abot to the
thirteenth stone dea«l. Tt was one o* those shove
shots pleyr-d sorfssfiillj' by few amateurs. Had
Travers not missed a short pot on the sixteenth
gr*en they wvald have ended the morning round
fill even. The scoring was brilliant, each man get
tin« a 76. while in the aftecaaon Travers got around
In TT. to n for Travis. The grand totals read 153 to

GIANTS PENNANT BOITJSJ)
DonHn'g Home Fun Brivgs Victory
in First Game.
Continued frem f?r*t pare-
third under th» ground rule, and both he and
Roger Bresnahan came across when Donlin
lifted his great hit into the right field bleachers.
It was Wiltse in the second game, and he was
a sad disappointment. But then fo were Cam
nitz and Leever and Vail, who opposed him. Pr»
It made little difference. He made an awful
start. Thomas giounded to Tenney and Clarke
flied to Seymour, but then came Leach with a
two-bagger and Wagner with another. That
was one run. and Abbatichio's home run meant
two more. McGraw was not afraid, and let
Wiitse have another chance, but a sudden
gloom had descended on the crowd.
Back came th^ Giants right away. Tenney
singled, Herzog singled; Bresnahan walked, and,
with the bases full. Donlin — the mighty Donlin—
struck out. But the basps were still full when
Cy Beyjnour came up and singled, and the score
was .". to '2. That ended Camnitz, and Leever
wont in.
Wiltse passed Clarke in the third. Leach sac
rificed. Abbatiechio was hit an<l Storke scored
Clarke with a single. The Giants scored a run
in their half, too. on hits by Herzog and Bres
nahan and Herzog'p fine sprint to the plate while
a double play was being made.
In the sixth inning Leever went to pieces,
and before Clarke knew what had happened the
Giants had scored three runs and taken the lead
amid a bedlam of cheers. Devlin doubled. Me-
Cormick sacrlfioed. BridweU'i puzzling hit got
away from Storke. and Devlin scored. Wiitse
singled, Tenney walked end Herzog fairly flew
to first base ahead of a bunt, while Bridwell
scored. Wiltse scored when Bresnahan forced
Herzog.
Vail was the next victim, and his finish came
right away. McConnick was saf^ on an error
after Devlin was out, and Bridwell walked.
Leach let McCormlck through when he fumbled
Wiltse's hit, and Tenney made the second out.
But Herzog walked, and Bresnahan's scratch
double scored two runs. Donlin's real two liag
ger did the same, and he himself scored on Sey
mour's single. Six runs, and the game.
Donliu got into a tight with a spectator in the <
eighth inning of the first game, but it was not
a terrible affair and no damage was done. The
Pirates will try and gvi revenge to-day.
The scores follow:

YANKEES BEAT DETROIT
Timely Hitting and Chesbro Pitch
ing Tells the Story.
Detroit, Sept Chesbro> good pitching, with a
combination of timely hitting by the Yankees and
poor fielding by Detroit in the fourth Inning, gave
the Highlanders a victory over the American
League champions to-day by a score of 5 to 1. and
made the race for the flag closer than ever, as
Cleveland and Chicago each won a game and St.
Louis beat Philadelphia twice.
Cree singled in the fourth", and HemphiU's bunt
was safe when the Tiger Infield fell all over itself
trying for it. Gardner, a new second baseman,
was safe on Killifer's poor throw, and Cree scored.
Hemphill scored when Moriarity forced Gardiner,
and Ball singled, scoring Moriarity. Blair singled,
and Ball was held at third, stealing homa, after
Chesbro had fanned, on a daring play with Blair.
Chesbro was in his oldtime form, and held the
Tigers safe all through the game.

IRISH ATHLETES SCOIIE
Win Point Trophy in Junior Track
and Field Meet.
"With tho deciding of the national junior fl"td
and track champtonahlpa at Travers Island yes
terday afternoon an entirely new s*>t of rhampions
was placed b«for« the athletic world. Ther* was
a bitter Ftr'iggl" between the New York and
Irish-American athletic clubs for th» point trophy,
and it was not until the last contest had been h-ld
that th» team honors were won by the latter, with
a total r>t 35 point?. xhe New Tork Athletic Club
was second, with 31 points, and the other clubs
finished in the following ord»r: Brookline. It:
Montreal Amateur Athletic Association. ?; Swedish-
American Athletic Club. I; Pastime Athletic Club.
7; Mercury Athletic Clab, 5: Chlcacfl Athlettc Club.
4: Acorn Athletic Club. 4; Pouth Boston Athletic
Club. 3: Gurley Athletic Club, of Washington, 3;
Mott Haven Athletic Club, 3, and unattached. 8.
The attendance was disappointing, in Ttew of
the importance of the games. Not mor° than five
hundred persons were gathered at the island home,
of the New Tork Athletic Club, and they were for
the most part relatives and friends of the visiting
athletes. The track was in wonderful condition,
and the day could not been better suited for the
meet.
The work of H. Gisslngr, who ran unattached from
the metropolitan district in the half-mile run. was
the feature of the day. Gissing had no trouble In
winning, and romped home in the fast time of
1:56 4-5. Gissing ran a well Judged race, breaking
the tape twenty yards In advance of W. McKay, of
the Montrpal Amateur Athletic Association, who
beat Hedlund, of Brookline, a few yards for second
place.
M. J. Driscoll. of the Mercury Athletic Club,
again showed his quality, by winning the flve-mile
run. Ten men started, and before a mile had been
run the race became a fight between Lee. of the
Boston Athletic AS*«<i!atlOtr: Reilly. of the Mohawk
Athletic Club, and Royal, of the Montreal Amateur
Association. Lap after lap they went
siong. first one, then another in the lead. Drls
coU bided his time, but raced up to th<- pacemakers
at the beginning of the last mile, and eventually
won by twenty yards from Lee.
In the 100-yard dash Eckxnan, of the Acorn Ath
letic Club, appeared to finish In front of Cloughan,
who for pome unknown reason was declared the
winner None of the officials was willing to talk.
but Cloughan Raid in the dressing room after the
race that Kckman had beaten him.

RECORD FOR STAiMIXA
DUG AX RIDES GOOD HA( E.
Crowd Cheers Duel Between The
Squire and Arasec.
•
Harry Payne Whitney's Stamina made a new
track record of 2:00 flat for a mile and three-six
teenths at Gravesend yesterday. The old mark
was 2:01. made by Patrician 'way back In 1535, and
has stood all these years because few races have
been run at the distance. Stamina ran a aood
race, but her victory was due largely to E. Dugan's
alertness in saving a couple of lengths on tne
home turn when Shilling, on Mo<iuette. interested
himself in carrying Pins and Needles wide, whti-h
at that point appeared to threaten most danger.
The move was costly, for. while the son of Ben
Holladay fought on resolutely through the stretch
when straightened out. Stamina beat him half S
length. Shilling was blamed by some for making
too much use of Moquette in the early part of the
race, and this may havp had a bearing also in the
success of Stamina.
The crowd broke out into -Rild cheers when The
Squire and Arasee fought it out. stri<l" for stride,
from the head of the stretch to the Judges In the
Sea Breeze Stakes of J1.5C0. The Squirr. thanks
partly to his gameness ,->nd partly to E. Dugan's
strong finish, won by the action of a nod. The
finish was bo close that only the judge* could
separate the two horses, and miny expected the
decision would be a. dead h»at. The Squire forced
the early pace, but Arasee joined him rounding
the last turn, and nine out of ten present expected
to see him come away easily. He only got to Th«
Squire's head, however, and there he hung in the
long, hard drive to the wire. There have been
finishes quite as close thir year, but few. if any.
when the fight was so lot.g extended.
John Sanford's colors were carried to victory fnr
the first time sine the Saratoga meeting when
Fort Johnson won the sp-lnt handicap. The son
of Chuetanunda raced Stargow-xn Into submission,
and held Delirium safe in tne. last furlong. Nimbus
ran a dull race, for which no excuses could be of
fered beyond the fact that he has always been an
uncertain and lnconslster* horse.
The fifth race, at one n ile and a half, was re
markable for the performance of P- J. r>w v r ' ! '
Red Friar. He broke with his field, but quickly
tooK It into his sulky head nnt to run. Try »s ne
would. Gilbert could not make him do mor- than
.log. and the free use of ths whip only resulted in
■OBM high kicking. Juggler had won before Red
Friar had covered half the distance.
Harry Payne Whitney's Duke of Roanoke a
rood looking gelding by Hamburg was graduated
from the maiden class in hi» first start In tbe last
race. He had worked a mile at the farm hi I.^-.
and was shipped up to win his winter oat, H
