Very good. § First edition of "this illustrated account of the great golfer's early triumphs, celebrating his dramatic victory as an amateur in the 1915 U.S. Open. "From 1907 to 1915 Travers dominated golf. He won the United States Amateur in 1907, 1908, 1912, and 1913, and was runner-up in 1914. His victory in 1913 set a record for that tournament that was not broken until Bobby Jones won it five times between 1924 and 1930. In 1915, as an amateur, Travers won the United States Open by defeating the country's best amateurs and professionals. In addition to being the second amateur ever to win this most prestigious golf tournament, he had the indisputable distinction of being the only scratch player listed by the United States Golf Association" (DAB). [It] was also one of the first books to which renowned sportswriter Grantland Rice contributed. (Bauman Rare Books note). Donovan & Murdoch 37130. D&J T14020.

First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A truly impressive copy of the 1915 1st edition. Tight and unusually crisp, with just a touch of light foxing to the endpapers. And in a bright, price-intact ($1.25), VG- to VG example of the 1st issue pictorial dustjacket. Light chipping at the spine crown and along the panel edges and tips, light foxing to the panels. Still though, handsome and very presentable --and notably uncommon in dustjacket. 12mo, 9 line-drawn illustrations complementing the text, co-written by the formidable Grantland Rice. Jerome Travers had just come off a win at the 1915 US Open at Baltusrol to add to his 4 US Amateur Golf Championships and, by any measure, was (and still is) considered one of the great golfers of the early part of the 20th century. His name is included among some of the immortals of the day such as Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet, Chich Evans and Harold Hilton. (Donovan & Murdoch 37130).
