WOMAN GOLF CHAMPION, WHO BEAT
TRAVERS, WILL MEET CHIC EVANS

Mrs. ". A. Gavin of England, the
metropolitan golf champion, who
last year twice defeated Jerome
Travers, is preparing for a match
with Charles Evans, Jr., the nation
al amateur and open champion, over
Washington course. On that oc-
casion it is expected that President
Wilson will be one of the gallery.
In the meantime Mrs. Gavin will
meet some of the best male golfers.
More than ordinary interest will be
centered in her meeting with Jim
Barnes at Wykagyl on May Is.
All the money taken in at Mrs.
Gavin's appearances this year will
be for the benefit of the Red Cross.
Since all of her prospective oppo-
nents either have regulations or
large local followings, it is likely
that thousands of dollars will thus
be added to the Red Cross Golfers.
