Gavin, a little Englishwoman. In the final round for the title at Arcola yester~ day Mrs. Gavin met Miss Marion Hollins of the South Shore Cl 4, After twenty-one holes of spirited golf Mrs. Gavin had to yield her title to one of America’s most competent players, Both Mrs. Gavin and Miss Hollins had played against each other on the links, but never for an important stake, Their match was replete with quick changes and so even was the competition that thre x holes had to pave before a decisi was reach Miss Hollins, a strong, athletic Long Island girl, started out by rum- ning up @ big lead over her smaller opponent, iss Hollins, driving @ ball that many men would be proud of, greatly outdistanced her English rival. Due to this advantage and Mrs, Gavin's frequent getting into traps and rough grass, Miss Hollins was 4 up at the fifth hole, a lead that | looked pretty safe for most purposes, The Long Island miss was too strong on the next hole, the approach sailing over the green.
