Walter J. Travis, who was found so
"silent" by Edward J. Blackwell in the
final match for the British amateur cham
pionship in 1904, in a recent contribution
to Golf Illustrated, shows that not much
was lost on him during that memorable
week at Sandwich.
Intense public interest in an interna
tional sporting event whether in yacht
ing, track sports, polo, rowing, tennis,
lawn tennis or golf makes those who
take part in it careful what they say ; but
with their more frequent occurrence the
chance for misunderstanding becomes re
duced in proportion to the better ac
quaintance of those who compete, and
the familiarity of the press and the people
with the real view of sport taken in the
countries interested.
The famous "You're another' of James
Russell Lowell is particularly applicable
to international sports, for the good
tilings and the things to be deplored are
met with on both sides of the Atlantic.
WHEN FEELING RUNS HIGH.
As an illustration, Travis in his article,
which is quite free from criticism of the
environment in which he plaved his
matches at Sandwich, does refer to an in
cident which followed his missing of a
short putt in his final match. lie writes :
"Some day I hope I may entirely forget
all recollection of the slight cheering:
which greeted the failure.."'
To applaud the missing of a putt or a
bad stroke in golf by a competitor be
cause it gives the hole to his opponent,
of course, is execrable taste on the part of
anybody following the game, however
interested he may be in the outcome of
the match. But such things will occur,
and they have happened during impor- j
tant matches on both sides of the water,
though promptly suppressed by sports
men following the play.
In the final of the amateur champion
ship of Great Britain at St. Andrews in
1901, John L. Low, a Scotsman, was
making a grand uphill fight with Harold
II. Hilton. The crowd wanted Low to
win, ana in one instance a follower of
the match shouted just as Hilton was
putting and caused him to fail to run the
ball down. Moreover, after Hilton had
won, J. L. Low met with the greater ap
plause, and the Scotsmen seemed very
sore at the defeat of their favorite.
In this country some years ago when
the feeling between the east and west
was running high a critical match at At
lantic City brought out the same kind of
thing from the gallery. Any mistake
made by the eastern player was applauded
uncil the officials of the United States
golf association put a stop to such demon
strations.
In one of the United States women's
championships a group of women fol
lowed a match and amused themselves by
concentrating their minds on the player
they wished to lose with the intention by
mental telepathy of making her miss her
putts. The player did miss a number of
short ones, but won her match, so that
the hypnotists were routed. Whether I
they really afl'ected the player is a ques
tion by itself.
TRAVIS' MATCH WITH KOMI.
Travis, in his article, tells the facts, for
the first time, of an incident in his match
with James Robb when the latter, as
stated in a London paper at the time,
"chivalrously passed over a mistake of
his opponent's caddy in picking up the
ball as it lay dead from Travis third shot."
Travis writes :
"Perhaps the closest match I ever had
was with Mr. Reade, who had me 2 down
with 4 to play. (Travis won by 2 up, so
won the last four holes.) The tussle
with Mr. Robb was also very close. On
the 11th green an incident occurred
which called forth some subsequent com
ment, arising from a misapprehension of
the facts of the case.
"I had laid my approach putt dead.
My caddy was holding the tlag, and be
ing an Englishman and being one of the
poorest caddies I have ever had, by the
way and Mr. Robb being a Scotchman,
he did not understand the hitter's request
to take the llagstick out, Mr. Robb leing
away at the edge of the green, but under
stood it as a request to pick up my ball,
which, to my indignant astonishment, he
was in the act of doing when 1 burst in
with 'What the devil are you doing V
Whereupon the ball was instantly re
placed and the incident was closed so far
as Mr. Robb and 1 were concerned. I
know I lost the next hole however.
The caddies seemed to have been very
bad at Sandwich, for Mr. Blackwell com
plains of his. Mr. Robb could have
claimed the hole, however, but that does
not mean he would have won the match.
Travis lost the next hole owing to being
upset by the incident, but won the match
by 1 up. If Mr. Robb had claimed the
hole, Travis would doubtless have been
spurred to win the next hole, which he
lost, for he is that kind of a .golfer.
Nevertheless, it is useless to speculate on
what would have been the outcome of
the match if Robb had claimed the 11th
hole.
KINDLY INTEREST IN TRAVIS.
The reminiscent part of Travis article
has interest outside of his remarks on the
actual play at Sandwich. Harry Vardon
and J. II. Taylor, both of whom played
in this country, took the keenest interest
in his game, and so did James Braid and
Ben Sayers.
It is well to state here that Americans
who take golfing trips through Great
Britain always speak highly of the cour
tesies extended to them by secretaries of
golf clubs. At the dinner of the Massa
chusetts golf association M. Herbert
Jaques, of the Country club, gave an ac
count of a trip which the golfers across
the sea had made very enjoyable for his
party. Similar testimony has been given
of their experiences by such well-known
golfers as Eben M. Byers, F. Oden Ilorst
mann, DevercauxEmmetandH. Chandler
Egan, and the rank and file of American
players receive the same treatment.
