All golfdom is eagerly anticipating
the return match with tne Washington
County Golf Club team to be played
next Saturday on the Wheeling Golf
Club links at W~oodsdaie. A week ago
yesterday Wheeling was defeated by
the WashiDgtonians "a their course at
Washington. Pa, by a score of 10 up
on the total returns, The local team
has been out almost every day during
the past week, endeavoring to secure
every advantage possible from a thor
ough knowledge of the course. They
expect not only to defeat their oppon-
ents but to return a much larger score.
In the case of the local teams winning
the third and deciding match it will
have to be played off on a course strange
to both teams.
The club committee on arrangements
Is making most elaborate preparations
for the entertainment of the visitors.
They are very deSirous that as l;..ge
a number of Washington people as
possible will come down for the match.
They %ill arrive at 1913 a. N. and will
be escorted Immediately to the Fort
Henry Club. where a breakfast 7'ill be
served. At noon a special on the SUI
burban electric will carry them to the
club course. The car will be held over
at Woodsdale, and Immediately after
the match convey the visitors 10 Elm
Grove in time to board the ) 20 train
for home. At the links d committee OF
ladies will serve tea, beginning at n
O'Clock. The play will be Started as
near that hour as possible.
AT the links every thing is being done
in order to have the course in per-
feet conditions for play. Greens are be-
ing Strengthened out and the irregular
tiles on the course through the green
eliminated as much as possible. 1t will
be in excellent shape by Saturday.
Wheeling should win. as their course
is entirely different from that at Wash
ington. In the first place the lay of
tae land affords a number of difficult
natural hazards. Besides the bunkers
which have been put in make the play
more difficult for any one unaccustom-
ed to them. The course itself is also
very much more sporty, which should
prove a favorable factor for the Wheel
ing team. The local devoters regard
the outcome as a certain victory for
Wheeling.

ON THE COLE LINKS.
A General Review Of the Week-What the Deyotees
of the Game Are Doing.


The golf seasons here. From this time IN until the last of December,
the weather for the sport will be ideal During the past week there have
been no Important matches There seems to be a general lH before the
Inter-City Match between teams representing Washington, Pa, and this city.
While the weather has been a little warm for the sport, the usual prevail
ence of a breeze has in 10 small measure afforded the player a comfortable
temperature. During the week at Highland, almost every day a number
OF lady members have been in attendance The long continued drouth has
had the effect OF almost running the greens on both the Wheeling and High
lands courses. Water, the one thing most necessary to keep the greens in
condition is very scarce However, by moving the holes to temporary
points a fair green has been preserved. The coming week will be ont OF
the most active in the history OF the sport in this city.
