Low Net.

Chick Evans of Chicago won per-
manent possession of the Charles

finished the Riverside Coffin ma
tional amateur invitational tourna-
ment in front of the field after a
brilliant final round battle with Ray
Jones of Indianapolis.
Evans won with a score of IA for
the thirty-six holes, including a IA
on the par 70 Coffin course and a
par 70 on the Riverside course.
Jones, who finished with a brilliant
SO, came within one stroke of tying
the Chicagoan for gross honors.

eighteenth green, but a SiX-foot
putt went wide of its mark. 1t was
Evans third victory in the tour
nament.
o M. Jones of Jones-Whitaker

net honors of the tourney with a
score of 131. He shot "a Saturday

reduced his Saturday score to 81
and his Sunday score to 81. He
was awarded the Riverside-C Coffin
plaque.
Evans was off his game Sunday,
time and again getting into difficult
ties that required delicate work with
the irons to overcome. While his
shots from the rough delighted the
gallery, they did not help his score,
which was mediocre compared with
his card Of Saturday.
Officials held a meeting after play
was over and made plans to repeat
the tournament next year under the
