lATUPDAY'S thirty -six
hole final round in the
Second Annual Midwin
ter Tournament, be
. tween Walter J. Travis,
the British champion,
and W. C. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburg,
was the most brilliant golf ever seen
here, and it is generally conceded that
the champion had one of the narrowest
escapes of his long and somewhat spec
tacular career.
At the end of the morning round with
medal play scores of 75 and 77, respec
tively, the Pittsburg player had his dis
tinguished opponent two down, and the
news spread like wildfire drawing a gal
lery of several hundred people to the
course before the time of starting on the
afternoon round, and many followed the
match from beginning to end, witnessing
a stroke for stroke contest that was un
certain until the finish.
Travis took the nineteenth hole, halved
the twentieth and twenty-first, evening
matters on the twenty-second, and gain
ed a lead on the 25th, and though the
score was even up several times after
ward, the Pittsburger never again regain
ed a lead.
The climax came on the 35th hole
where Travis laid his opponent a dead
stymie, but the Pittsburger Englished his
ball so that it described a circle around
the ball, halving the hole in three. On
the 3Cth hole Fownes returned the com
pliment, but Travis had two for a halve
and was not seriously inconvenienced,
halving the hole and winning by one up.
The cards tell in detail the story of the
fight.
