Brilliant Opening Of Annual Chevy
Chase Golf Tournament.
PROMINENT OUT-OF-TOWN PLAYERS
Forty Starters in the Qualification
Round Of Thirty-eight Holes.
SOME HALF SCORES

The coat of true-hearted golfer Is of
an unqualifledly raucous red. Why it is
termed pink has nothing to do with the
game, and is manifestly trivial and out of
place when the hazard and play of the
tournament is thrilling the clear air of a
wide and blue October day.
The vicinity of the Chevy Chase club
house was the scene of picturesque activity
this morning. Groups of golfers hung
about in quiet corners or strolled the fields
In close conversation, discussing the out
come Of the fall tournament, about to take
place, while others, stripped to playing
gear, practiced limbering up by making
vicious whacks at any fnanimate object in
sight that offered anything like the super
fetal area of a golf ball Clubs were hefted
and swung by practiced arms until the
scene suggested an old-time threshng bee
when the hand fail was in its prime. Cad
dles, burdened with vari-plaided bags
loIled about in the sun and skylarked on
the quiet. There were tall caddies and
snort, fat caddies and thin, and they
to the strawberry blonde with snub nose
and freckles.
To the onlooker. though he be unfamiliar
with the game, there is exhilaration and
buoyancy in the atmosphere of the links
The distant hills melt in purple and gold
The stretching fields broken by grassy
bunkers carries the eye down the diminish
ing vista of red flags and the hum of the
ball as it rises in it's flight glistening with
dew. warns like an abnormal pearl In the
sunlight. 1t was an ideal day for the
game. The air was clear, although under
the stimulus of play a trifie warm: but the
participants We're clad for the conditions
and altogether there was nothing left to be
desired
Col. Denny, with eminent good nature,
permeated the scene, and with the help Of
others in charge kept things in good rum
ming order. Play was trifle delayed owing
to the ron-arrival on time of golfers from
Baltimore and Philadelphia. The original
order Of pairing was adhered to as closely
as possible, and many changes were I'M
avoidable. but they were made to the SEEM
ing satisfaction of the players concerned.
