JEROME TRAVERS ON THE SLIDE
Tho year Uli will go Into golfing his
tory a on in which ther haa been no
outstanding, compelling figure either In
the rank of - amateur or professionals,
write John O. ' Anderson in" the New
York Bun.
That rarely haa happened If at all In
recent years. The reference can be. ap
plied both to American and British a-olf,
for across the water the royal and
ancient fame has been superseded so
completely by ; the bunkers from which
something other than a golf ball Is
"driven' that there hue bean no competi
tion of a major order, hence nothing
upon which to mold an opinion as to any
one golfer' superiority over all others.
No lack of competition has prevented
such a selection In American golfing cir
cles, but there has been one reason or
another why no.on golfor has cut for
himself a niche aboye all others. Jerome i
P. Travers might not hare, done so bad
had h followed up his victory In the
national open with another In the na
tional amateur. "
lie, furthermore, has suffered reverses
In post-season non-tournament meeting
which, while having; no direct bearing
upon his place as a golfer In the amateur
world. Indirectly hurts his case when It
comes to determining whether a golfer
Is supreme above his fellows.

who was to stop the tar In eight rounds

The pair met and Oreggaino not only
failed to slop the chesty deck scrubber,

Tom was greeted with cheors.
Young Mitchell milted him, saying:
"I'm glad you won, Tom. I suppose
you're starting out for a celebration, ehT"

TOO MUCH PEP FOR STARS
South Side High School Basket Ball
Team Gets Away with
Opponents.
FINAL COUNT MADE 27 TO 14
Just a little too much pep met the rnh
of the AU-Ptar basket bell five, organised
to defeat Cosch Patton's ever ready
amateur, but It was by the grace of fate ; flippers last evening at the Pouth S de
that was tjnklnd to Majiwell ft. Morston ; High school gymnasium. With the score
thet the Hinsdale golfer reached the final j close at but a few intervals during the

flgured in a sufficient number of com
petitions to estsbllsh a place for himself
apart from the -others crowding around
the upper clrela of amateur golf.
Francis Oulinet dropped from his high
estate, beginning wKh the national open,
followed up by bis reverse In the ama
teur, and roncliiiled with his defeat et
GreenwW-h, agnlu In the Leslie cup play.
There haa been no one, therefore, in
the amateur ranks who has won for
himself a recognition akin to that ac
corded Jerome 1. ; Travers or Walter
J. Travis In the years of their unques
tioned supremacy, or H. Chandlvr Kgan,
and one or two other figure prominent
in the United States Golf association
amateur annuals.
The same sppHca to thfl professional.
We recall the days of the late Wilile
Anderson, when It wis not a question
of who might ifin ' the national open
championship, but who had a chance
to take the palm away from this master
of 'skill and nerves. We 'recall- Alex
Smith, medal and match player, extraor
dinary, nowaday well content to be up
wlthnn the charmed circle, but not a
chief charmer. We recall the brilliant J.
J. McDermott, head and shoulders over
all others for two years, taken dsy In

The nearest to . them this year was
Tom McNamara of Ilostan. winner of
three titles, but unable to rise, to the
occasion when he had the national open
almost within his grasp, thereby nullify
ing his chances of being classed as su
preme for the year. His game, more
over, had not enough of the spectacular
in it to make him an outstanding figure,
even If he, perhaps. Is the best man in
the country today upon whom to lay a
wager if there Is something going on
which involves him as a competitor.
The point of these commentaries is that
while the gi-neral standard of play among
both amateurs and professional In this
country Is higher every year the stand
ard for the tepnotchera seem to be tem
porarily on the decline.
When "Walter .'J Travl wa at hi best
he could be depended upon to win, say,
nineteen out of every twenty matches he

Lincoln business men. The chancellor
said he had every assurance that the In
crease would be cheerfully raised by the
Lincoln MCommerclal club workers and
alumni here. It was this very point
which served to hasten Stlehm's deci
sion. Stiehm thought the athletic board
should vote the salary without making It
appear a charity proposition for Lincoln
business men. The foot ball season
netted a clear profit of 110,000 and the
board could easily have stood the addi

Stiehm refused to ask for an extension

At 8 30 Stiehm telephoned the chan

again requested the coach to ask for
twenty-four hours additional time. Th
