While the golhng season of 1918 was
exceptionally duh in the competitive
line, it proved the banner year in Red

golfers in this line was Charles Evans,
IT., the present national amateur and
national open champion, who devoted
almost the entire season to playing IN
golf exhibitions for the benefit of the
Red Cross, and who anticipates touring
the South this winter for the same
good cause In tact, he was a trump
card for the Western Golf Association,
which devoted its attention to most
extensive series Of exhibition contests

which both amateurs and professionals
