GOLF SIMPLIFIED Dy Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr. ! ' By Charles (Chick) Evans Jr. The death of Walter J. Travis last 1 week in Denver. Colorado closed a. significant c'aipter in American golf history. No man is his time exercised more potent Influence on the game ' or stood higher c.s a player. To th« ' youngsters of that period he was r. figure to wot ship. In my own case I can well remember the great height cf the ptdesta: on which 1 placed him. and the chant t to touch his hand was an honor til mast too great to be borne. The -.addies —true barometers of popular standing— altnose fought over the chance to carry his clubs. He was the first American go’fet to win the British Amateur and th< thrill cf that until achievement ahid es with us yet. This record stoot through all the years until Jess Sweet zer heat it in 1922. but in the mean time the war had come and gone and it seemed that anything could hap pen in those post-war days. It was 1913 at Garden City when I played with Mr. Travis for the last time. T think that he played in the 1914 tour nament at Eknonok. but I do not re call seeing him then, and soon after he announced his retirement from th. competitive game. One of the most notable things about Walter J. Travis is that he learned the game at a time when mos players are about to retire. He was nearly forty when he began to play and was well over that period when ht . won the British Amateur. In eempar ing his game with the champions of the present day we can cnly say (h it he met the difficulties of his time am’ surmounted them. He did not play a game that would fit into the preset!' day, and it would be hard to imagine I him playing Oakmont successfully. He oonld not reach the greens in lime but or.ee there he would be supreme; for no amateur or professional, ha ever equalled him as a putter. No one in the world could run pi a shot over rough or smooth ground better titan he. He was not good through the air because our courses at that time did not demand it; if they had I am sure that he would have developed the necessary skill for he ; was a most intelligent and careful worker at this game. His greatest difficulty would have been hie tci shots which were never long. Shortness, accuracy and a genius for putting charactarized his game, and the made the Schenectaday putter famous He had an enormous power of con centration and a strangely aloof man ner on a golf ccurse. The present day barricade was unnecessary to him. Instinctively the crowd was nevet familiar. I always think of him as a quiet, reserved person whom every body respected and to whom rq one ever got very close. After Tiavis’s active golfing dayweie over he depoted his time to golf architecture —always an interesting thing for a golfer to do—trying to pu’ into concrete foim all that he had learned during his playing years. It is an intriguing experiment only to d< termine by a later generation Whether he will be known as a great golf architect time alone can tell, but his reputation as a great gslfer rest! secure.

LUCKYJCKEL! A Good Cigar Need Cost No More. Here’s How and Why You’ve heard about five-centers that “should cost more.” You can’t i be blamed for wondering if there is such a thing. You won’t wonder any more if you will shoot one lucky nickel. You’ll know and you’ll tell the world. i The nickel you put down for a Havana Ribbon means smoke luck from the first puff. It means mildness and mellowness and all-day satisfaction. It means you can 1 keep right on smoking Havana i Ribbon cigars and like them better all the time. You’ll say, “How can , they make it so good?” * Here’s how. Havana Ribbon sold at mote than a nickel for years. Men liked them. They sold like hot cakes by the million. Volume production brought the price down, i , | That’s the whole story. So drop in at the nearest cigar store armed , with one nickel only. And get set . 1 for a real surprise.
