This 20 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 13 that include: "TRAVERS WITH 297", "EARNS OPEN GOLF TITLE", "Amateur for Second Time in History..." and more with nice photo of Travers (see images). Coverage on the last day results of the 1915 U.S. Open golf championship in which Jerome Travers became the second golfer to win the U.S. Open.
Other news, sports and ads of the day. Usual browning with a little margin wear and chipping, should be handled with care.
wikipedia notes: In 1915 Travers won the U.S. Open at Baltusrol Golf Club, making him the second of the five amateurs to win the event. It was his only top ten finish in four appearances at the U.S. Open - he never entered the tournament again once he had won it.
