Chevy Chase and Columbia Teams to
Play This Month.
The fall golf season in this vicinity has
actively opened, and with all of the local
crack players back IN town the next six
weeks VIII see some very interesting
tests on the local links. The most import
ant event to be decided this fall is the fin
ish of the team match contests for The
Evening Star cup. The preliminary con-
tests for this trophy, which carries with it
the team championship of the District,
were played in the spring, when home and
home matches were played between teams
representing Chevy Chase and Dumbarton
and Columbia and Washington. In these
matches Chevy Chase defeated Dumbarton
and Columbia was the victor with Wash
ington, that the remaining matches to
be played are between the two spring vic
tors, Chevy Chase and Columbia The COM
mittee in charge of the contests, consisting
of one member from each of the local golf
clubs, has just arranged the dates for the
final matches. On Wednesday, October 49,
the two teams will play at the Columbia
grounds, and on Saturday, October 10, at
Chevy Chase. Play will commence at 1:3O
o'clock pm. The greatest possible interest
Is taken in these matches as the teams
from all accounts, will be extremely evenly
matched, and it is thought that there is a
victory in sight for either team. The teams
will consist of ten men on side, the play
ers selected, with substitutes, being as
follows:
