' ter Travis won the Metropolitan golf
championship, today over the Links' of
th Apawamis Oolf club at Rye by a
remarkable finish in his 36 hole match
with. John O. Anderson, the former
Boston player.
4 , The margin of victory was only
up, but it was decided In - dramatic
fashion on the last green, which the
immense gallery had completely sur
rounded to watch the finish.
Travis came to the last hole one up.
He put his second shot almost within
. the shadow of the flag, whereas An
m derson, realising the desperate situa-
tlon, tried to do the impossible, but in
his anxiety sliced a mashie approached
s Into the trap. The gallery was disap-
v jointed at not seeing a closer fight,
but the old man rewarded their pa-
tlenee by sinking his long 20 foot putt
for a 3.
The morning- round was certainly
frenzied golf. Both players missed
many opportunities, but as they fln-
ished the fjrst 'round on even terms.
i Travis wmillnRlv remarked:
"it was a very '"poor exhibition of
golf, but a good match,"
After luncheon.it looked for awhile

i a runaway match out of.-it.
$ He kept at his opponent until lie had

righting Spirit Aroused.
The fighting spirit of Anderson was
aroused at this - point and he fought
desperately to get on even terms. It
f was clearly evident that Travis was
- laptuiy uriug. no luauc jiiuiiy ima-
- takes,- but had the break of the luck
In his favor. Anderson got .back a hole
- at the tenth when Travis got into
f, trouble. Another hole came his way
when Travis missed an approach at
tthe thirteenth. The match was all
square at the fifteenth, when Anderson
got a par four. Travis was short on
his second, - The sixteenth was halved
also.
Anderson missed another put on the
seventeenth, but Travis would not ac
commodate him again and sinking a
two footer became dormer over.
In the first- round Travis showed the
train of a strenuous week, as he was
not - playing anywhere near the high
class golf in the morning that he
"played in any of his other rounds.
Anderson was just as bad and re
fused to take advantage of the many
opportunities offered him.

SPORT AFFAIRS
, . By Frank G. Menke.
New York, June 6. The wager in
Boston recently by William N. Jar
vis and Fred Woodland ranks as one
of the freakiest .ever made since gamb
ling became a sin..
Jarvis is a Brave rooter. Woodland
doesn't think-very much of the Braves.
An argument ensued, and this bet was
made:
If the Braves win the 1915 National
league pennant Woodland : will- pay
3100 to Jarvis. But should the Braves
jose, Jarvis will have to do this: t
Walk from Boston to Philadelphia
and back, accompanied by Lucy Lee, a
pet mud turtle. Lucy .must walk two
fifths of -the way. The other
three fifths of the way Jarvis must
carry Lucy on his back.
A very swift mud turtle could cover
two miles a day. Owing to the fact
that Lucy must amble two miles out
of every five, and js not ranked afe a
speeding rnud turtle; it looks as if
Jarvis and his - turtle will average
about one and a half miles per day.
The distance from Boston to Phila
delphia and back, a la hoof, is close
to 700 miles. Covering an average of

even two miles a day. It would take
Jarvis and his mud turtle companion
Just about one year to make the round
trip.
Assuming that Jarvis gets about $40
a week when regularly employed, It
would mean that he will lose about 50
weeks' salary or $2000 if he makes
the walk, in addition to losing weight
and patience and his equilibrium.
Two thousand dollars to $100 that
the Braves will win the pennant.
Gosh, what a lot of confidence Jarvis
must have in that Stallings outfit.
A Jinx seems to pursue Jack ("Red")
Murray of the Giants, preventing him

heroic things.

the Giants in the lead. Did Murray's
feat feature In the next morning's
story of the battle? Nope, simply be
cause In the very next inning the Car
dinals overshadowed him by making
seven runs.
During one of the series played with
one of the western clubs in New York
Murray made a magnificent throw to
the plate, killing off a runner. It
saved the game for ths Giants for
the moment. But Just when the writ
ing persons were figuring on how to
lead their story with Murray's ac
complishment, the opposition got . to
the Giant pitchers, knocked a couple
out of the box. and did so much hit
ting that Murray's stunt was forgot

bled with two on bases, putting the
Giants temporarily in the lead. But
the opposition got busy shortly after

by Anderson Bros., of this city. These
pacers raced over the Canadian circuit
last year with success,, and the early
training reports are favorable to both
the horses. Hal . Boy, another pacer
born and raised In the Rose City, Is en
tered In some of the big pacing events
at the exposition race course. . The
summer meeting now In progress closes
on the 19 th of this month.
. In training miles have been reeled
off In as fast time as' 3:06, while at a
matinee race recently Teddy Bear
paced a heat in 2:07.
. Tew at Xritoal Track.
There are fewer horses stabled at
the local track' speedway this year than
ever Derore, nut tnis is aue to tne race
that many of the horsemen desire to do
their early training on half mile rings.
In another month horses .will begin
coming into Portland to 'get in shape
for the North Pacific circuit, which
opens here. A great many of the
horses that are participating in the
San Francisco meeting are expected to
be 'seen in 'action over the northern cir
cuit. It is- said that this idea has
struck the horsemen with favor, as it
will give them an opportunity to race
their horses and still be able to get
back in time for the fall meeting In the
exposition city. :

New York. June 5. Jess Willard

champions .of Tnany generations pat

The Dublin Q lant." within the next
month. . . -
Of course, 'a finish bout would be
most desirable, but. the public clamor
for a battle would bo silenced If Wll
lard awreedt to meet Coffey even In a
no-decision bout of 10 or 13 rounds.
Coffey today seems to stand- head
and shoulders above all the other
white aepirantsrl. The husky Irishman
has been com in-g along In wonderful
style since Billy Gibson took him tin
der his wing, and his knockout vic
tory in the third round over Al Belch
last week seems to qualify him for a
crack at the title.
- The dear old public has become ac
customed to seeing champions dodge
a real fight with a real fighter for a
year or so after they grab the title.
They ve resigned themselves to- seeing
Wlllard Idle around on t ha mtmm

.A 10 round Coffey-Wlllard bout in

probably wouldn't be big enough. The
boot would have to he staged in the
open. .-This could.be don easily, as
some of . the baseball clubs would do-

C16.000 Would Be Sur,
vlllard would get. a guarantee of
probably J 15,000 for such a bout. That

Coffey to slip over a sleep producing
punch. Wlllard's managers say he han
a punch proof Jaw and heart and that
no living man could knock him out
unaer Z( rounds, no matter what a
wonder that man would be..
In such a t-aae, Wlllard has nothing

to win by battling with Coffey in u

of Wlllard's Income, has the final say
so. Wonder if Tommy would pass up
that 110,000 or 116,000 offer for a

any chance of Its being accepted it's
more than likely that Jimmy John
