Travers Has Chance
for a Doable Crown
Victory in Amateur Tour?
ney at Detroit Would Up?
set All Golf Traditions.
_?
BUT OPEN CHAMPION
EXPECTS HARD FIGHT
Says
Standard of Non-Profes
v.onal Oame in U. S. Has
Reached High Plane.
By '.KANTLAND RICE.
Twenty-fvc years ago this summer
England experienced such a golfing up?
set as she had never known in her 400
yeara of golfing history. For that sum?
mer, now back in another century, John
Ball won the British amateur cham?
pionship and followed this achievement
up by landing the British open, a dou?
ble achievement of amazing propor?
tion. No one then had ever figured
that an amateur could win an open
event until Bail performed the miracle.
Five years after this double conquest
had been established by an Fnglish
?mateur America establ shed her ama?
teur and open championship?, and in
the twenty years that have followed no
American golfer has ever been able to
duplicate Ball's heroic work. Frunc?s
Ouimet won the open in 1913, two years
ago, but he was cudgelled out of ',he
amateur parade in the second round,
when he fell before Travers at Garden
City.
America's Chance.
But now, twenty-tive campaigns after
Ball's twin titl?H and twenty years
after both A*neric:in championships
have been established, the chanco has
at last come to an American golfer to
?mash all records for his native land.
For Travers won the open chfimnion
Bt Baltu-rol, and if he can now
svrest the amateur title away from
Ouimet at Petroit he will have achieved
ii golfing destiny that no one thought,
possible three years ago before Ouimet
<ut his way through the professional
barrier.
While playing a friendly round with
Jerry a few .i..4-? aero we brought this
point to his attention the chance he
had to pul] up on <ven terms with the
redoubtable Mr. H?ll.
"It would he a great thing." be said.
"but -.? -?n amateur
championshii) is quite different from
what it used to be. Some years airo
were or.lv one or two entries one
ha?l to bother with Most of the others
could be counted upon to beat tbem
,,i.e could loaf along

?
Evans;
Ouimet beat Marat?n by only one hole
in the bai ateh, . nd 1
had i my man, who
was aroui playing the
hardest sort of golf from the first hole
to the finish.
"If 1 had ?>'afed that day at anv
: robably hi
it was I v . ?p cming to the
sixteenth hole at Ekwanok. This hole
is 4M ? hi.l. ai.d I

"And it svas the only '?', 1 got at that
hole during the tournament. A:

Later on other close

"Th- |] be harder
thr.n ev. r to bi ued the open
champion. "Man) young ,
improved immensely and have g
a world of expenence at tournament
play in the last year. In this way thev
nave increased their confidence as well
as their skill, and they are as likely to
play great golf against the leaders as
against any one else."
Outside Victories.
It is in this respect of losing* to a
higher handicap man that Chick Evans
is still a trifle below Ouimet anu
Travers.
As we recall the details, the only
two golf?:.- v.l.. have put out Travers
in recent yeara in an amateur cham?
pionship were Harold Hilton, British
champion in 1911, and Francis Ouimet
in 1914. T'n.- ? .i,? his Eng
lish invasions. Ouimet, since coming to
fame, has lost only to Travers m any
amateur tit!.- play. But Evans hud had is
rougher r??w. F'ownei beat him in 1910,
HerreshorT in 1911, Travers m 1912,
Johr. (1. Ande..?on in 11? 111 and Kb Byers
last fall.
Travers was beaten in the metro?
politan championship tin? i-pring, but
the man wiio put him out was Walter
J. Travis, a veteran \?ho, when not
worn down by the strain and grind of
a long tournament, has enough golf
left to beat an\ man alive.
3?-lIole Knute.
There is one big change in tourna?
ment plav ? mi thut will give
the leaders a better ctu.r.ce. At Pe?
troit the battle in match play wil he
only over 'a?' full 36-hole distance.
There will be no l*?-h.ole rounds for
a starter sue:' as furnier vents have
known. Thi? means that while, some
outsider in the batting may shoot par
golf for 1*. holes, he will be forced to
continue t^e pace all da] to eliminate
any of the leaders. And it is about
three or four limes as hard for most
golfers to shoot two good rounils in
succession n it is to put away one.
It is possible that one of I
golfers may head off Travers, Ouimet
or Evans, ai Detroit, over the double
journey bu* it isn't a good bet that
any such development will take place -
especially in th.- ease of Travers und
Ouimet, who 1 ave both won "pen and
amateur championships, and have there?
fore proved they could meet the bard
eat test at hand.
But for all that, golf, as We have
risen to remark hefore, is too often a
matter of ?me day'? or otic Week's men
tal attitude. If Travers, Ouimet or
Evans should by ill fate fall upon a
week of play below normal form, as i
Ouimet did at Baltusrol and as Kvan? ?
did for two rounds a very painful ,
upset is almost sure to occur.
The man who wins this uext tourna-?
ment, now only two weeks ? way, must !
be playing hll best rolf champion- ;
ship golf with every club in his bug,?
for the Detroit course i.? too fine a I
test and the field is too fast to per- '
mit any great amount of slip-shod or
off-color play even by those v/ho con-1
stitute the Big Three of the American
amateur Kama. j '

CHURCH SCORES
OVER SQUAIR
Princeton Champion Captures
Western Singles Match in
Close FiKht.
Chicago, Aug. 11. Clarence Griffin!
an?l William II. Johnston, of San Fran?
cisco, won the right to challenge
Thomas C. Bundy and Maurice Mc
Loughlin, of the same city, for the na?
tional doubles tennis championship to
?lay by defeating Walter T. Hayes and
Ralph II. Burdick, of Chicago, Western
champions, in straight sets, 1 2, ij :*,
8 ..'. The matches were played on the
courts of the Onwentsia Club, Lake
Forest.
The Chicago team, especially Hayes
was badly off form an ' proved no
match for the speed of the Pacific
Cos t man. Burdick played well, but
Hayes's inability to handle the swift
.strokes forced him to the defensive, and
took away his best specialty? the
mashing gnme.
George ?M. Church, the Prince'on
University champion, won the West?
ern singles championship from Alex
Squair, of Chicago, defeating the title
,'? in the challenge roun?l, 7 ?,
?'. .1, 6 'i, 6 2. This match, postponed
from Tuesday, wound up the tourna?
ment, which dragged through two
weeks.
Griffin and Johnston won their first
set easily from Burdick and Hayes, by
a score of 8 2.
The Chicagoans wore extremely wild
at the opening of the match, and did
not score a placed point until three
games had been played.
The Californians resorted to a driv?
ing game, playing at Hayes for th?
in' st part, and the older of the Chieaco
partners could not han'lle their t?-rri:;c
shots. Burdick played brilliantly at
the net, but the inability of his part?
ner to handle the Californian's strokes
forced him to the back of the net and
on defence. The score by points:

Ha???, and Bui-4) ? i : l 4 ) 4 : 1-17?2
The Californians also took the sec?
ond set, ?*. 3. They continued their
driving tactics, and, although Hayes
end Burdick had the lead at the start,
Johnston and Griffin easily overcame
this, and won when they chose.

In 6 2. Burdick took the Chicago
Illy cane? on his own serve and
the Californians had no trouble win?

The Pacific Coast men played Hayes
almost exclusively, and his frequent
errors enabled them to win easily.
Church took the fil-St ser of his
match with Squair by jumping into an
early lead and had the games i 3 be?
