AT PRESIDE
Sausalitans to Contend for
Club Championship on the
Golf Links at Fort Baker

The contest for the Councils cup Of
the San Francisco Golf Club has reached
the final round, in which John Lawson
will meet H. C. Golcher, who defeated
Warren Gregory, up 1 to play on Tues
day. On the first nine holes Warren
Gregory was up, but Golcher overhauled
him in the second round and at the seven
teenth hole won the match. The final
round between Golcher and Lawson was
played yesterday.
Lawson was in excellent form and
played a stronger game than his oppo-
hole up, to play. After the match j.
w. Byrne and H. G. Golcher played
practice game, and Robert tombstone, the
club professional, played against the best
ball of Captain D. j. Rumbaugh, Lieu
tenant Oyster and George B. Cooksey.

On Monday last the ladies of the San
Francisco Gold Club were to have held a
match play tournament over eighteen
holes between teams chosen by two cap
tains selected for the day, but the weather
was so dull and SO few of the fair golfers
put in an appearance that the game was
deferred. 1t will be played on Monday,
beginning at $3.50 a. m. Entries must be
made at the clubhouse not later than 6
o'clock this evening.
The date on which the annual team
matches between the San Francisco and
Oakland Golf Clubs for a trophy usually
takes place has already passed. The first
of these contests took place in 1898 and
began on December 10 at Oakland. 1t is
not likely the opening match OF this sea-
son will take place until next month, for
up to the present time no challenge has
been received from the Oakland Golf
Club, which lost the series of patches
played last season. 1t seems desirable
that some definite months should be
named in which these contests should
take place. the precise day being left to
be settled by mutual agreement. 1t would
also be we'll to settle the number which
shall constitute a team In some years
it would happen that a team of six golfers
would suit one of the clubs best; in other
years it might be willing to meet eight
or even as many as twelve opponents.
Eight seems a suitable and convenient
number, as in match PLAY contests which
are preceded by a qualifying round the
best eight scores are held to have quail
flied: or, II a larger number qualify, the
] number chosen is sixteen, who are re-
duced to eight after the first match play
round. If the number to constitute a
! team is not fixed there is likely TO be a
suspicion that the challenging party. in
suggesting q certain number, has con-
/ q chances Of
