Miss Rhona Adair, champion woman
golfer of Great Britain, made her first ap
pearance on the Metropolitan links in
match with Devereaux Emmett as a part
ner against Walter j. Travis, the amateur
golfer of America. who played against the
best ball of the pair. Miss Francis c.
Driscon, of Philadelphia, was to have
been Mr.. Travis partner in mixed four
some, but she withdrew at the last mo-
ment and the other match was speedily
arranged. Miss Adairs showing was ex-
cellent, considering the fact that she was
a stranger to the links and that a puZZling
cross wind was blowing over the
course during the entire afternoon. Miss
Adair had poor luck on the fourth hole,
but she and her partner We're 1 up at the
turn and the match was even on the sew
enteenth hole Travis took only two on
the home green and won the match by
1 up.
