Atlantic City. N. Sept. 21.Special. Walter J.

Travis of the Garden City club of New York for the second time captured the amateur golf championship of the United States. defeating Walter E. Egan of the Onwentsia club of Chicago in the final match by 5 up and 4 to play. While it was expected that Travis would win, yet his margin was larger than was generally anticipated. During the first week of the championship Egan was undoubtedly at the top of his game, and the enforced interval of a week probably affected him more than the imperturbable Travis.

Egan played good golf except towatd the end of the first nine holes this morning. wbent be became a little unsteady. Travis' play was also faulty. There were several periods during the match where he played far below hit usual form. but being a veteran of many a golf battle he recovered more quickly than did his younger opponent.

Ten times the cup has been raced for by yachts of foreign countries, and now the eleventh attempt to take it away is to be made. When won the cup it sailed against a fleet. The cup was then offered for a race between yachts of all nations, to be sailed without time allowance. The course was around the Isle of Wight, and America, owned by members of the New York Yacht club, won.

Some years afterward the cup was deeded to the New York Yacht club, to be held as a perpetual challenge cup, and after fifty years the club still holds the trophy.

Shamrock according to the statement of Sir Thomas, is likely to be the last ninety-footer that will be built, at least in Great Britain. Neither Fife nor Watson, Sir Thomas declares, will ever construct another such sloop. Mr.

Watson declares the designing of Shamrock has undoubtedly taken five years off his life, and that since its completion he has been on the verge of collapse. Mr. Fife, it will be remembered. was stricken town two years ago with illness from which he has never fully recovered. Speaking of this condition of affairs to friends Sir Thomas Lipton has declared that if he should lose this time it would be impossible for him to challe.nge again with a ninety-rooter, because no money could induce either Mr.

Fife or Mr. Watson to undertake its construction. This single trip of four weeks in America," Mr. Watson is said to have remarked, has taken five years from my life. I do not want any more of it." "The American trip of 1809 broke up Fife." Sir Thomas is quoted as saying, adding: The strain is something awful." Travis Superior in, Driving.

The champion's strongest point was his long game, and it was through his good, strong drives that he was enabled to win. He outdistanced Egan on every drive except in two or three instances. Travis' direction also was above that of Egan, the latter several times being handicapped in a drive too far to the right or to the left. There was not much to choose between in the short game of the two men. Taken as a whole, the work of both on the green was a little below their top game.

The morning round of eighteen holes was a much better exhibition of golf than the afternoon performance. At the end of the first nine holes Egan was One up, but Travis, by clever play, managed to make the match all square at the end of the morning. In the afternoon it soon became evident that Travis would win. He was two up at the turn and made four- up on the next two holes. the Western yousgster held him for two holes, but on the fourteenth the champion, by excellent golf, won out amid the plaudits of the gallery.

Men Found Well Matched. Starting out in the morning they halved the first two holes in par golf and bogey, which showed the spectators that the champion had no easy mark in young Egan. Travis won the third hole in a par. four on the fourth, with honors still even. After dividing the fifth Travis got a-bogey four on the sixth, but Egan promptly won the seventh in six.

Travis getting into the sand bunker on his second and taking seven for the hole. The eighth was halved in the par golf of three, and Egan took the lead at the turn by getting the ninth in a par five. The next two holes were each halved in the par golf of three and the gallery began to think Egan stood a fair chance, as he won the long twelfth in six, giving him the le ad on the champion by two up. Travis, nowever, captured the next two holes in the par golf, four each, and honors again were even. Egan got a par four on the fifteenth and Travis topped it off with a par three on the sixteenth.

Travis also won the seventeenth with a faultless five, but the account was squared on the home green by Egan winning It in a perfect five. Honors Even on Morning Play. Thus honors ended on the morning round with the match all square, and Egan's chances being quite as rosy as those of the champion. It was the afternoon round, however, which counted. as it was then that Travis got in his deadly work.

The first nine holes were most admirably played, the men starting off the same as in be morning by halving the first two holes in four and five respectively. Then Travis niade a brilliant spurt and won the next two boles in four each, but his lead did him little service, as the following two holes were dashingly won by Egan and honors again were even at the twenty-fourth hole. Egan got bunkered on the seventh and Travis took the lead with an easy six. He was not pressed on the eighth hole and won it handily by four to five. The ninth was well played and halved in five, which left Travis In the lead by two up at the turn of the twenty-seventh hole or the match.

Champion's Lead Too Great. With a tried out veteran like Travis this was as good as the match, as he landed par golf threes on the next two holes and confidently drove off from the twelfth tee, with a lead of 4 up on his opponent. The hole was halved in six, as all Travis had to play for was a half. The thirty-first hole of the match was admirably played and halved in the par golf of four. The next hole was also stubbornly contested, but Travis was on the alert, and, getting an opening, won the hole in five, which gave him the match by 5 up end 4 to Play, and once more gave him the REMNANTS IN GREAT GAME WALKINAY FOR MAROONS fused to give It to Dineen until the latter had cooled down.

A big hole was waiting for him and he slipped past the backs, dodging Ayars. who was playing back, and then he refused to wait for tne Galesburg men to catch him, taking the ball squarely between the posts. After the fifth touchdown holding by Stagg's men gave Lombard the ball on the forty-yard line. Hartgrove made a forlorn-hope effort at a-place kick for goal, but he was in too much of a hurry and topped the ball. so that it rolled a dozen feet into the arms of a maroon forward.

That was Lombard's only real effort to score. The rest of the game was a monotonous succession of gains by Chicago backs. Flanagan scored the last touchdown. On Wednesday Stagg's men will play a double game with Hyde Park and Englewood High Schools, alternating the halves. On Saturday Monmouth College will meet the varsity team.

21Special.1 Bostons defeat at thelhands of Detroit today made Chicago's White Stockings two times champions of the American league. While Comiskey's men were falling down hard before Connie Mack's aggregation out at Athletic Park today, Jim Burns' team over in Beantown drove the last nail necessary to keep that triangle of white bunting flying at the South Side grounds for another year. And it certainly is the irony of fate that the Tigers, the men who for two years have been Chicago's bitterest rivals, the men who would rather lose their suppers than a game to the White Soxs, should be the ones to finally cinch the thing beyond a question. The champions can now lose every one of their remaining seven games, they can all drop dead or go home, or play any old kind of baseball, and yet they will be champions, because Boston by winning every one of its remaining seven games cannsit wipe out the margin. Chicago in Safe Spot.

The White Stockings established by their brilliant work against Boston in that final series in Chicago a margin which they have maintained ever since. If Chicago should lose and Boston win seven straight games the club standing at the end would read: Chicago. te! won, 56 lost. .594 percentage; Boston. SO won, 55 lost.

.591 percentage. In these few figures are summed up a season's struggle as remarkable as it has been successful. From a poor start, due to a crippled pitching staff and an inexperienced second baseman, the White Stockings made a plucky uphill fight during the first month of the playing season, and inside of six weeks dieplaced the arrogant Detroit Tigers from the lead. Then Collins' men, coming from still farther in the rear, made a grand spurt in midsummer which carried them on with such a rush that they seemed almost certain to win the pennant. During Chicago's last Eastern trip before this one Boston's speed car- ried it to within a nose of-Chicago.

one game would have changed the lead to Boston. yet that one game never happened. and it was just at that crucial point that the White Stockings lost Shugart and Katoll by suspeneon, Griffith by a broken finger. and Callahan got out of condition, but the White Stockings struck Philadelphia in a weakened condition just then and by sticking to their guns retained the lead until they returned West. Patterson Earned His Best Roy Patterson.

the boy from St. Croix. by pitching every other game in that emergency until the pitching staff was rehabilitated. kept the champions in the lead, and that is why Manager Griffith let Roy go to his 'Wisconsin home tonight, a week before the season ends. The story is familiar to Chicago fans since that August trip East.

None has forgotten how Comiskey's men broke the Beaneaters' backs with four straight defeats In Chicago. every one of them as clean cut as the most brilliant Kohinoor sparkler. After that series it was only a question whether accident weuld rob the White Stockings of the pennant they bad earned. The accident did not happen, and tonight the Bingham House guests will owe it to Philadelphia's blue laws if they are so fortunate as to get any sleep, for the fight is over at last, and the two-times champions released from the long strain are simply bubbling over with spirits. But Comiskey's men looked like anything but champions in today's game.

The score of 10 to 4 in Philadelphia's favor does not begin to express the size of the defeat. Patterson. appreciating Manager Griffith's consideration in letting him go home after the game, went In and pitched with determination to make in the last game the victory which would cinch the pennant even if Boston won. But his support was lacking in nearly everything. The men behind him muffed, fumbled, and booted the ball around until every one of the 4.600 spectators roared with laughter.

Then Roy lost heart and was hit hard and often, with the result that he will- ingly retired at the end of the sixth inning and let Katoll finish the argument for him. Champions Waste Chances. The champions batted Bernhard plenty hard enough to have won an ordinary game. but were worse than so many prodigal sons with their chances. throwing away nearly as many runs by poor base running as they gave the Athletics by their errors.

Shugrat was the worst offender in the field, getting only one out of four chances, and McFarland ran him a close second with two errors. which do not include two hard running catches which he missed. Philadelphia scored first in the second inning. when McIntyre hit a single to second and stole second because Sullivan muffed the pitch. Two went out and then Dolan scdred the run with a scratch double to right.

But the errors began to pile up in the third. With one out Davis hit safely to right and Lajoie crashed one past Hartman. Seybold then hit to right. scoring Davis and sending Larry to third. Seybold started to steal on the first ball pitched and Sullivan threw the ball on the ground.

It bounded off Mertes' shins and Lajoie started home. Shugart picked up the ball in plenty of time to nail the runner at the plate, but hit the grand stand instead. McIntyre fouled out and Steelman was bit. Then the NVIlite Sox pulled off a play which caught Seybold napping at third, when Steelman tried to steal, and the yellow work stopped. The Athletics scored another run in the fourth with a double and a single after two were out.

The champions. meanwhile, were helpless In Bernhard's bands. For three innings they died three in a row. In the fourth Jones broke the ice with the first single, but died at first. In the next inning there were signs of life, however.

McFarland led with a single, but Isbell forced him at second. Shugart and Sullivan punctured the infield safety. scoring Liz." and, after Patterson filed Hoy brought home another with a doulile. Athletics Take a Brace. That spirit was discounted In Philaeielphia's half, however, when the Athletics amassed four runs on two clean hits, some bunting, and a pair of errors.

Hartman began the trouble by misjudging Lajole's grounder and Missing it. Seybold bunted and Patterson threw to second half an hour too late to get Larry. McIntyre bunted, too, and Isbell did a splendid bit of juggling whicfl filled the bases with none out. Here Steelman smashed a safe one to left, which filtered through McFarland, letting in all three rues and Tackles Gains Will Through Any Part of Their Opponents' LineThe Goal of the Home Team Was sit No Time in Danger During the Contest.

For thirteen Innings not only were actual misplays absent but the fielding was phenomenal in Its accuracy. Meantime the two pitchersHughes and Dineenwere working as can two clever men, each at his best.

Hughes struck out thirteen Bostonese, allowed five bases on balls and eight hits in the entire seventeen innings. Dineen struck out seven Orphans, gave only one base on balls. and allowed eight hits. Between the two there was little margin, but Hughes' support was the steadier just at the close of the game, two double plays entering into the balance when situations were dangerous. The times when a hit would have won the game were almost numberless.

Topsy Hartsel was at the 'bat just five times when a safe hit would have settled the Issue. Three times Dineen forced the premier hitter of the Remnants to fan, long flies ending the other two opportunities. Green had four chances and failed each time. Others tried, only to be baffled by the skill shown in the box. Strangely enough.

it was the tail end of the batting list which did all the hitting. Childs secured four hits, Kahoe three, and Hughes one. Among the visitors the opportunities were no less marked, and as they wended their way to the bus when Umpire Dwyer refused to call the second contest because of the lateness of the hour there was a bunch of its to record. Boston Misses Several Chances. Passing over the chances before extra innings were reached, Boston might have won in the thirteenth, sixteenth.

or seventeenth Inning. and only good playing by the Remnants prevented scoring In the last two named. In the sixteenth Hickey made a clever stop and then threw wild to first on Dineen's grounder, the pitcher taking the middle sack. With none out the outlook was roseate of runs. Rickert attempted a sacrifice, and perished on a foul to Dexter.

Tenney struck out, and Dineen was doubled up trying to steal third base on the final strike. It was also a double play which blasted Boston's hopes in the seventeenth. With Demont dead, Cooley trundled a pretty grounder over the second bag Into center field. Carney followed with a line drive safe to left. sharp fielding holding Cooley at second.

TO HOLD BOXING SHOWS. First Card Announced for Oct. 12Clarence Richie to Meet Local Man in Windup. Lombard College was easily defeated by te University of Chicago football team at Marshall Field yesterday. The Chicago backs and tackles made gains almost at will through all parts of the Lombard-line, and with oriLy one run of considerable length.

carried the ball steadily down the field for six touchdowns. At no time was the maroon goal in danger. and the final score was 38 to O. The Lombard team was weaker than that of last year and on the few occasions when they gained possession of the ball it was necessary to punt to avoid being held for downs. The right wing of the line was particularly vulnerable, and Cook and Kennedy tore holes big enough to drive a wagon through.

It was a large opening of this kind that enabled Perkins to make a brilliant run of fifty-five yards for a touchdown. The most pleasing feature from a Chicago standpoint was the aggressive. snappy playing- of the new candidates. Jennison at quarter called the signals. and.

although he had little opportunity for the display of generalship. his clean. quick way of passing the ball gave confidence to the other players and went far toward the satisfactory result of the contest. Jennison made several punts, one of over fifty yards. and he always got them away quickly, accurately, and for good distance.

Stagg's Novices Work Well. Following the orders of Coach Stagg every back, tackle, and end was given his chance to carry the ball, and the showing of the novitiates was gratifying to the coach. Perkins. Granberg. Greenwood, Waiters, Kennedy, and Speik made constant of from two to seven yards and showed no partiality in their choice of places to get through.

The gains were largely due to the excellence of Chicagos interference. which is far more advanced than it has been in the corresponding season of other years. In the absence of Sheldon, Flanagan directed the team from the vantage point of right tackle. The big Captain pro tem. contriauted a large part of the day's entertainment by carrying the ball for line bucks and end runs.

Ile ambled across the lot will the airy grace of an animated leviathan, and when he was tackled he simply rolled on several yards, leaving a wake of flattened out Lombardians. Then the water boy was in demand for a few minutes. It took the maroons just three minutes to make the first touchdown. Perkins kicked off to the twenty-five yard line. but Lombard lost the ball at once on Awns, and after that it was an easy matter for Perkine.

Walters, and, Granberg to carry it over the five intervening- spaces. Granberg was credited with the first touchdown. His leg was injured in the process and he retired in favor of Greenwood. Perkins Makes a Bun. Perkins' long'run came a few minutes later.

Chicago defeated Boston. yesterday by a score of 1 to 0, in one of the most sensational games in the history of the National league, a game won in the seventeenth inning, when Petie Childs, with his fourth single of the day, sent Dexter home from third with the only run secured by either team in more than three hours' play. This contest ranks as one of the four most noted In the history of the professional sport. Pitcher Radbourn won an eighteen-inning game for Providence against Detroit in 18S2 by a home run hit in the final inning. On June 19, last year, Chicago beat Pittsburg 1 to 0 in a fourteen-inning game, Griffith's single winning the game.

Griffith struck out eight men and Waddell twelve. Slightly less numerically was a thirteen-inning victory of New York over Boston in 1890, secured by Mike 'Tiernan's home-run hit. These earlier contests were when the pitching distance was less than the sixty feet of today, although the present foul strike rule perhaps evens up the matter. The end yesterday came through a partial collapse of the visitors under the nerve-racking suspense and tense endeavor of the many extra innings. It was Herman Long, who had cut off hit after hit and nailed runners at first when the feat seemed impossible, who allowed the entering wedge by messing Dexter's grounder at the beginning of the seventeenth.

This appeared to unsettle Dineen, who had just pitched himself out of a seemingly impossible hole the inning before which had been caused by a muffed fly by men on second and third, with one out. The visiting pitcher plainly showed his pique at Long's error, and the incident unsettled him enough so he grazed the arm of Hickey, the next batter. Then Gannon attempted a sacrifice, which forced Hickey at second but landed Dexter at third. McCormick was then awarded a base on balls, Dineen's only gift. Childs, with three balls and two strikes called, pushed a short fly safe into right field, and the game was over.
