WAYSIDE TEE
At tlio olovent hole a return of nervous
ness followed, and tlio tee shot was topped.
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.

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.

tinue winning to keep ahead of Pe Kerl and
Da Nerl roust win In order to continue out In
front of Jasper, providing, of course, that
Jasper keeps up Its streak.
Camden will be glad when the basketball
season Is over. It has been a strenuous winter
for tha fans across tba river, and Just now
the games are getting on their nerves. Re
cently some fans went after President Scheffer

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

NOTES OF THE BOWLING ALLEYS
MILLER HUGGINS
Mannser of the St. Louis National
League Club.
ncr, another clever veteran, nnd Leo
Meadows, who pitched great ball In his
first year In tho National League last sea
son. Ho should Improve wonderfully this
season. There Is a chance thnt both
Salloo and Amei might be good for
another year of high-class pitching. If
thoy are. Hugglns' staff will be even
stronger.
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. North llrothers' team und Dlsston
oquart won two games cacti from Enterprise
and Plumb quintets.

start him off In centro field, regardless
of his showing in the South, ns Hug 1ms
great confidence In hl.1 scout's Judgment.
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.
