By Giantland Rice

In spite of the fact that Jerry TraV-
ers Is TO play Mrs. W. A. Gavin a thlr-
,y-six-hole match, divided into two in
stalments, in order TO see just about
what a leading masculine entry should
give in the way of handicap TO one of
the leading women players, no general
movement is under way to have compe-
titions open to both men and women.
The women are quite content to
battle among themselves on the course.
And so are the men.
But this match is to carry still fur
Their the test inaugurated some years
ago by Harold Hilton and Miss Leitch.
Hilton was then British champion.
Miss Lcitch was the woman's champion.
Hilton attempted to award her .
strokes round-and failed TO finish
first.
Travers will undertake the same as
signment in one OF the most interest
ing matches of the season.
As fine player as he is, he will have
his work cut out for him. Mrs. Gavin
can average $50 and 100 yards from the
tee-and she can drive straight.
She can play mashie exceptionally
well-and she is as good a putter as
one would want to see.
She can play the average hard course
around So strokes. If she does this
Travers will need around ~ TO win.
And maybe less.

Golf and Baseball Ages

as it as necessary for golfer to
start young as it is for ball player ~
queries a reader
Almost. Travers was star at fif-
teen. SO was Chick Evans. Bobby
Jones could break so at twelve. Ouimet
was very good at sixteen. Bob Gard
ner was star ct seventeen.
Golf stardom also covers more
ground. Hans Wagner at forty-three
is still around But Hans is a notable
exception. Whereas Vardon is over
forty, and so is Braid. Travis is still
very good at well over fifty. But Travis
became a star though starting after
thirty-five. No ball player in the world
ever did that-or ever will.
If the test of the artist is in the
skill and ease with which he turns out
his masterpiece. then 0uimet on his
present form is an artist extraordi-
nary. We have never seen a golfer
since Harry Vardon's play in this coun-
try who secured results with such con-
summate ease and confidence. The
Boston star is not only playing brill
isntly, but he is achieving wonderful
effects without any work whatsoever.
as II the game was the Simplest ana
easiest ever created. Ouimet's rhythm
is hawless. From the tee TO the cup
there isn't jerk or CULVER in any
stroke, but rather a wonderful steadi-
ness and certainty. In his putting he
has all the confidence Of q star upon
the green. There isn't the slightest
hesitation on his part, TO matter how
hard the putt. He makes his decision
quickly and then steps up and taps the
ball. Ouimet in this respect is a fine
example 10 those who fiddle and fuss
around the greens and finally work
themselves into a young frenzy before
hitting the ball. His philosophy on the
putting green is this: Your first judg-
ment is generally the best Hit the ball
then, and you either hole it or you
don't. But why bother either way"
His distance on the carry from the
tee is remarkable, as he gets very little
run and yet is up with such long hit
tiers as Guilford, Kirkby and others
who get both carry and run on their
shoA.

Jerry Travers and
Mrs. w. A. Gavin in
Test Golf Match
By Grantland Rice

No single golfing event Of the entire
season has attracted more general in
terest than the contest starting at
Erglewood this afternoon between Mrs.
W. A. Gavin and Jerome ID. TraverS
a test affair to see just what hahdlcap
a fine man golfer can award to a lead
ing woman player
The complete details are as follows:
The first eighteen holes are to De
played Sunday afternoon, starting AT
. o'clock, over the Englewood course.
Mr.. Travers is to give Mrs. Gavin nine
strokes on the eighteen holes, the
strokes to fall as arranged on the card.
The second eighteen holes are to be
played next Saturday afternoon 1t
Garden City with the same nine-stroke
allotment.
Mrs. Gavin thus gets eighteen strokes
on the thirty-siS holes.
There has been any amount OF DIS
cussion as to how this match would
come out There are scores of golfers
who are confident Travers can win.
There are as many 9th RS who believe
that with a nine-stroke handicap Mrs.
Gavin will be almost unbeatable. II is
this difference of opinion which has
vastly increased interest in the match.
Close Play on Greens
If anywhere near her best game Mrs.
Gavin can go around Englewood be-
tween SO and So. To win, therefore,
Travers will be forced to play around
10 or "a. He will have, of course, big
advantage off the tee and on the long
game generally. But the metropolitan
star will find his opponent q worthy
rival with the mashie and around the
green. Mrs. Gavin plays a mashle shot
exceedingly well and she is always a
first class putter While she will be
at a disadvantage in one way on the
long holes, it is upon these that she
will get the strokes.
The only test match of this sort be-
fore was played in England between
Harold Hilton and Miss Leitch. The
final eighteen holes drew over 10000
people and Hilton WAS finally beaten
2-1, although he was not at the top Of
bis game.
II will be interesting in this match
to see just how far man can outdrive
a woman on the average and the COM
parative difference in other shots.
There will be no admission, but a col
lection will be taken for the Red Cross
from the gallery.
The Englewood course is now more
than ordinarily fast and Mrs. Gavin
will be able to reach most of the greens
in the regulation one o. two shots. As
she gets good distance from the tee
she will have many opportunities to
bring her msshie into play, the most
dependable shot she has.
Red Cross officials wish it under.
stood that the public at large is in
