Of the draw has. balanced the strength

reSuit Tomorrow.
Although thc women played from the
forward tees on seven holes, cutting
the regular length Of 6,399 yards by
about three hundred PAGES, they found
Shawnee a gruelliNg test on account
OF the excellent trapping and the natu-
tal hazards. The scores turned in by
Miss Stirling and Mrs Gavin we're
deemed Very good under the conditions.
Mrs. Gavin haCs q beautiful chance to
cut three or four strokes off her total
Az the 565-yard tenth She played her
second into deep trap, into another
on her third and encountered more diff
fculty before she reached the green.
Par FOR the hole is ;, the figure re-
corded by Miss Sterling, who played it
perfectly.
Standing on the eighteenth tee Mrs
Gavin was told she needed a 3 for
the last hole, a matter of 225 yards, to
tie Miss Strings S. Its a hard
g. said the little English star, who
then proceeded to make beautiful
drive squarely on the green and about
FIVE feet from the pin. She had tricky
downhlll putt, with a side roll for >,
but wisely decided To play it safe for
fear Of running over, and took two
4 puts for her g.
4 Mrs. Gavin Does Well

we'll, particularly her irons, and some
o. her mashie pitches were pure gems
Miss Stirling had two or three in
stances OF hard luck going out. needing
% to Mrs. Gavin's 43, but she came in
With a rare II and making few mis-
takes. 4 comparison of the two cards
SHOWS that Mrs. Gavin would have won
BY , up.
The showing Of Miss Cumming was
great surprise, the young player
ifom Onwentsia showing sound golf in
her card of 90 Miss Gordon also dis
payed her quality with the same total.
