A group of we'll known golfers ie"

Chick Evans has played a niue oase-

Chick began to play golf when ne

But if you examine the records
among the five golfers now playing
who have won the majority of cham
pionships, who have reached the
heights oftener-Travers, Evans,
Ouimet. Gardner and Travis-only one,
Gardner, has ever given any Of his
spare time to any game but golf. The
other four have let no rival come upon
the scene, and in addition to amateur
championships, three Of these have
