New York Team Routs
Quakers, 1913; Mrs. Gavin
Beats Mrs. Barlow at 10Th

The New York contingent of women
golfers, composed of fifteen of the best
players in the metropolitan district,
retained possession of the Griscom Cup
in the final match of the tri-city series
by overwhel lining the Philadelphia team
at the Apawamis Country Club course
at Rye, N. Y, yesterday. The New
Workers won by the surprising total of
II matches to 3. No defaults were re-
corded.
Several former national title holders
engaged in the matches, among them
being Mrs. William A. Gavin, Mrs.
Ronald H. Barlow and Mrs. c. H. Van
derbeck. The latter pair are from
Philadelphia. Neither, however, was
able to score her match against her
New York rival.
Mrs. Barlow, who early in tho week
won the Eastern championship over the
Apawamis course, played against Mrs
Gavin and lost after hard struggle
on the nineteenth hole. The Philadel-
phia title holder, however, forced her
opponent to play her best game in
order to gain the coveted point.
Mrs. Gavin Takes Lead
Mrs. Gavin got off at favorable
start and gained consistently over Mrs.
Barlow. The New Yorker played in
such fine form that at the seventh
green she led the new Eastern cham
pion by 8 up. Both halved the next two
holes of the outward journey, and when
they turned back Mrs. Gavin was in the
van by three holes.
Mrs. Barlow squared the match on
the thirteenth hole by taking to Mrs.
Gavn's 6, They then halved the six
teenth and Mrs. Barlow was l up on
the seventeenth, which she took with
a 5. On the eighteenth hole Mrs.
Gavin took to 6 for Mrs. Barlow and
again the match was squared Mrs.
Gavin finally won on the nineteenth by
holing out in 5, while the best Mrs
Barlow could get was 6.
Miss Marion Hollins, former Metro
politan champion, defeated Mrs. Van
derbeck, of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, by 2 up and to play. By going
around in SO and 35, respectively, Miss

the first day of play Mrs. Barlow went
around in IS.
