Again Travers pulled himself together, chipped his third to tho green and. sank another putt for another four. The flutter continued through tho twelfth hole. Hero, with nn easy 30-yard pitch tQ.'lho green nnd "a possible 3, Travers ap proached 30 feet too far, putted within i feet of the cup and then missed tho next putt. But from that point on, although his face was gray and drawn, ho pulled him self together by a tremendous effort and finished ono under par. But as tho last putt dropped ho was literally a nervous wreck for the tlmo being, and at least two daj'H passed be fore ho could recover his balance. "I folt worn out for nearly a week after ward," ho said later on. Like Travers This Bnltusrol episode Is a very fine illustration of Travers" golfing tempera ment. No golfing star In tho world has gotten in moro trouble and then been able to work himself safely out. It Is the un daunted spirit of the man that has counted so Btrongly for him. No ono can ever forget Travers In that sldo trap nt tho eighteenth hole nt Garden City In 1913. When Jerry came to this flnnl hole he had soven strokes left to qualify to barely slip In. His mashlo shot dropped into this abysmal grotto Into an nlmost unplayable lie. He played three shots and was still In trouble. His fifth barely got out and he was down In 7, In a twelvo-man tie for last place. This upset him, naturally. He knew that he wasn't playing good golf. And he received no great encouragement In his first 18-hoIo match when his opponent, Hobert C. I Wntson, started off 3-2, 3-0, three strokes under par. But Travers won out. And tho next day he was hurled against Oulmet, with this uncertainty still lingering In his subconscious mind; and though Oulmet was moving nt top speed, by a series of remarkable shots and more remarkable recoveries, Travers beat hhn, 3 to 2, although the star Bostonlan was leading through the 27th hole. Two, Types As It remained for Travis, Btartlng his golf at the age of 36 and returning vie torles beyond 60, to prove that winning golf did not belong exclusively to the young, so It remained for Travers In this country to show that winning golf was not a matter of brawn, bulk or power. Jerry ' normal weight Is around 140. His hands aro small, his fingers being al most delicate. His wrists are by no means thick. Yet, by the wonderful timing he gets, his driving Iron shots frequently travel 20 yards unfier normal conditions. He has a torrlfia lash to this shot the one that has saved him mpst when the wood failed him In the hour of need. Down the Shaft "Why," several have asked us, 'does Traers keep the tip of his right thumb pressed against the shaft on all ap proach shots?" "Because," said Jerry, "Jn this way I get a keener touch. Approaching is a matter of control and direction. I have found that I can only control my direction and distance on the shorter shots better py using the tip of my thumb as a gauge or kuiuo uuui i can ay using my entire right hand or even my entire thumb. I find also It helps to brace my right wrist and the right wrist Is an important factor In a short approach, aa the blow here is struck -with the right hand." Travers, at the aga of 27 has al ready won four championships and one open championship. His only serious fai'l-. urea have been abroad In the British amateur, where tn two starts he was beaten both times In his first match. He now has but one ungratlfled ambi tion left, and that Is, some day, when the war Is over and England has resumed her rounds of the winding green turf, tp make one more trip over and try to even up for bis two British failures. This chance will npt ,com for several years. But at 27 one still has a loag way to look for ward In EPlf for Travis, the only Ameri can that ever won a British amateur, triumphed -whoa lie was i s.

CORNELL ATHLETES KNOW HOW TO STUDY Captain Barrett Is Solitary Flunker, Athletic Association Report Shows ITHACA, N. Y March 4. That col lege athletes are better performers on the fields of spoits than in their classrooms was disproved yesterday in a statement issued by the Cornell Athletic Association. It was shown in the statement that var sity football men nt Ithaca passed 93 per cent, of their work during the first term, whllo tho cross-country men succeeded with an average rank of 84. Tho announcement of these marks Is taken as conclusivo evidence to show that athletes train their mind as well as their bodies. It also brings out that the schol astic dlfilcultles of Captain Barrett of tho football team was only an Isolated case. Barrett was tho only member of the football team dropped this year, and not a man in tlio entire squad was even put on probation for falling to maintain a satisfactory standing. Tho statement fol lows : Statistics show that 93 per cent, of uni versity work taken by tho football men who won their "C," including tho two managers, was passed. This does not in clude, however, tho two men who loft col lege, one on nccount of sickness. Eighty-four per cent, of tho university work by tho cross-country men who won their "C's" will be passed. For the foot ball team S.3 per cent of the work taken was conditioned. Only l.G per cent, was not passed, Of tho 11 substitutes who re ceived their "C" 2d, 8G per cent, of tho work taken was passed, 9 per cent, was conditioned nnd the 4.5 per cent, was not passed. Out of the 34 men only ono man was dropped and not a slnglo man was placed on probation for falluro In Ills work.

ST. LOUIS DOES NOT LOOK STRONG ENOUGH FOR FIRST DIVISION IN NATIONAL RACE Huggins Superb Hand ling of Good Pitching Staff Is ' Cardinal's Best Asset By CHANDLER D. KICHTEK AllTICLR XI. THE refusnl of Manager Miller Hugglns to make use of any of tho Federal I..onguo players who revert to his club, through ono of tho terms of the pence agreement, nnd his apparent Inability to strengthen weak spots, will send tho St. Louis Cardinals Into tho National Leaguo race ono of tho wenkest aggregations In tho circuit on paper. Hugglns believes ho has great possibilities If ho perfects tho samo high brand of teamwork so noticeable In 1011, ns ho has good pitching material at hnnd. On form, tho Cardinals should finish no higher than sixth nt tho best, with the possibility that they will have to strugglo to keep out ot tho cellar, hut consistent pitching may upset tho dopo. If Hugglns' pllchors keep free from nceitlent thero will bo only n smnll percontngo of tho games lost through poor boxwork or handling of tho pitchers. There nro few managers fn tho major leagues who rank with Hunglns In hand ling pltchora. Tho diminutive loader ap pears to bo glftod with a Blxth snnso when It comes to switching pitchers nnd In bis selection of tho pitcher who Is best fitted to start a game. In 1911 the Cardinals were no stronger thnn thoy nro today, yet thoy camo within nn nco of beating out tho Uraves, due to Hugglns' Judgment in working his pltchors. Braves Bent Cards Tho final standing shows tho nraves finished peernl games nhcud of the Cards, but that wiis due to tho fact that Hugglns' team Vent to pieces after tho crucial se ries with Htallltigs' team In St. Louis In September. Hnd tho result of this scrlct been reversed, so might tho positions of the two teams at tho closo of tho sason. Hugglns Is tortunnto In having a won derful rn teller In Snyder, who Is on a par with Hill Klllefcr, with prospects of de veloping into even a better man boforo the present senson closes. Tho hustling llttlo lender doei not hesitate to glvo Sny der the credit for the excellent work of the pitching staff, which apparently does not consist of ns many grcnt natural pitch ers ns the seven other teams have The gradual decllno of Harry Sallec, tho veteran southpaw, and T.eon Ames mnkes It necessary for Hugglns to develop two c.ipnblo pitchers this season Ho appar ently li depending upon experienced minor leaguers for these two pitching positions, ns ho has onl.r cms real youngster In his squad of twlrlcrs. This lad is Liunllne, purchased from tho Central Association. I.amllne Is a southpaw nnd he pitched sev eral brilliant games at tho closo ot tho 1915 season, being URCd In tho fall series ngalnst tho Hrowns becauso he showed great promise The Uncertainties Tho other uncertainties of tho pitching staff aro Charley Hall, the veteran Itcd Sox pitcher; Jack Warnop, passed up by tho Yankees; HI Jnsiicr, released by tho White Sox, and Ileeso Williams and Bob Steele, who havo spent several seasons In the American Association. Of this group, Hall and Jnsper havo tho best chanco to enrn regulnr positions An injuied leg sent Hnll back to the minors aftor ho bad been one of tho main stays of the Ileil Sox in the winning of the pennant In 1912. Hall was sent to St. Paul In tho fall of 1913, after having been useless to tho Ited Sox during the entire season. He retired from tho gamo for almost a year and then started all over ngaln. Hall was tho leading pitcher of the American Association and made the season's record for consecutive victories by winning lfi games in n row. His work was brilliant nnd consistent throushout the season, nnd ho should be a valuablo man for Hugglns. Hall knows how to pitch, which will glvo him a great advantnge.and he is also a terrific hitter, who will lit In well ns a pinch hitter and general utility man.

Not much can bo said for tho rest of the team, oh the line-up nnd Its work de pend entirely upon tho showing of re cruits nnd how they will lit Into Hug glns' system of play, which It must bo admitted is good as that of nny other major longuo club. Tho Cardinals play up-to-dato baseball, and do not liavo to get a lot of hits to score runs, which makes the work of tho pitcher easier. Miller at First According to Hugglns' present plans, bo will lino up his team with Jack Miller, a great all-round player, on first; Betzcl, who plnycd third last hcason, at second ; Itay Corhan, tho highly touted Pacific Coast League star, nt short, and Zlnn Ilcck on third. This Infield Is not strong on paper, nnd too much will bo placed upon the shoulders of Corhan. Ho Is rated as a better shortstop than Bancroft, and a year ngo tho Phillies would havo taken him In preference to Banny, but tho San Francisco Club would not sell bis release. If Corhan proves a star under the great handicap of being press-ngented too much, tho Infield may develop into a smooth working combination, as both Betzcl and Beck will play better ball with a good man between them. Mlscrablo worlc at shortstop has hampered St. Louis for several years, despite tlio attempts to strengthen this position. If Corhan should fall down. Hugglns will try Roger Hornsby. of Muskogee, of tho Western Association, who comes well recom mended, as It has been decided that Art Butler will not bo a regular. Outgnrden Jobs Uncertain Six outfielders will fight It out for tho three positions, with this probable line-up: Bcscher, loft field ; Jack Smith, centro field, nnd Tom Long, right field. Beschor Is a star. If things aro breaking right for him, and ho reported to Hugglns at his normal weight. Had ho not Joined tho Giants 20 pounds overweight last spring ho probably would still bo with McGraw's team. Long plnyed excellent offensive ball last season, but was a mlscrablo fielder. Hug glns hopes to see nn Improvement In Long's fielding this yenr, but told the writer ho Intended to sacrlfico tho de fensive strength which could bo gained by using "Chief" Wilson to strengthen tho offense. Smith is a recruit from the Scat tlo team, of tho Northwcstorn League. Ho comes up so well recommended by Scout Bob Connery that Hugglns will knocked down 202, 212 and then 1(11. Wood, of Oermantown Illue, got 200 and 212, falling hack to 181 In hla last game. W. .Smith, of Racquet Clum Maroon, began with 221; Pelt, of Overbrook White, after a 172 start, compiled 212 and 204; Pordlsch. of Manufacturers' Yel low, got 102 and then 214 and 204. whlla Treat, of Union Leaguo Illue, registered a 210 score. MaJestlo rolled one of lta best scries of the season, defeating Algonquin two games, total ing 1010 In ItB last game. Nock set n won derful pace, averaging 222 pins for his three games, with scores of 233. 203 and 230. The niants proved their strength by trim ming the White Elephants In two of their three games, losing tho last by only 12 pins. Tha work of Mangeney, Mount and Knox was a feature of the aeries. Wyndham Colts suffered a trlplo reverse at the hands ot the champion, Maneto quintet. Maneto outrolled the Colta In each of tha games, all of the victorious aquad scattering their share of tho pins. Enterprise Reserves, with a handicap allow anco of 101 pins, managed to win two games from llobrow Urotheratn the Industrial series. Atlantlo Refining, by a clever exhibition of team strength, snatched tho final game from Keen-Kuttera In the Industrial League on Casino Alleys last night. Crawford had tha honor of rolling the only 200 score, hla 203 In the last game helping land the victory. Lochten made good as an emergency bowler for Ketterllnus In the second game with a 200 score, but knocked down only 118 tn the third game. Scull quintet were lucky to beat out Ketter llnus In all three games. In "Philadelphia-made" Hardware league games.

With tlio outfield shaped up In this manner, Wilson would adorn thu bench, along with Walter Cruise, It having been decided that Cozy IJolan, former, Phllly player, Is through ns a major lcaguor, Arthur Butler and Hornsby nro slated for utility Infield work, with Mike Gonzales, tho Cuban, nnd Ted Urottcm, from Tncoma, oxtra catchers. It will bo necessary for every man to play up to his top and for tho team to get wonderful breaks, both In playing nnd escaping accidents, to m.iko tho Cnrds n pennant contender. Thoy may get oft to n good start and bo hard to catch, but thoro Is hardly enough natural strength to innko Hugglns' team n contondor for tho ling. Evnna Good Hugglns could undoubtedly strengthen his team by using Steve Evans nnd "Itebel" Onkes, who Jumped St. Mollis for the Feds, but who nro now legally tho property of the Cardinals. Evans proved laBt season that ho can play first base, whllo O.ikos always bus been a star centro fieldor. With Evans on first, Hugglns could switch Miller to second und mom Ilctzol back to third. This would ennblo every man to play bis natural position, which Is a grent ndvantngc. Bctzel is originally a third baseman and Miller a second baseman. Hugglns bellovci that he would havo easily won tho 1914 pennant If these players had not Jumped him, nnd ho Will not take them back under any condition, preferring to rclcaso thorn uncondition ally He also contends that their presenco on the team would spoil tho harmony, which Hugglns expects to bo his greatest asset on tho pennant light.
