marked the cuimination Saturday of the
annual golf tournament of the Chevy Chase

| was slight tinge Of regret in home bosoms
| Dy reason OF the fact that visiting golfers
won Tour OF the seven prizes offered. in
Guiding both chief trophies-the champion-
snip and consolation cups-but this natural
sentiment was offset by the proud realiza-
ton that local players gave the winners the
hardest struggles OF their careers.
Carnegie and HOrstmann.
The final game for the championship cun
between Mr.. w. c. Carnegie of Pittsburp
nephew of the philanthropist, who was en-
tered from the st. Andrews Club, and Mr..
r. y. Horstmann Of Chevy Chase was a
superb exhibition from every point of view.
Mr.. Carnegie is diminutive both in stature
and girth, while Mr.. Horstmann makes I'm
in the latter what he lacks in inches. so It
was "go between little giants" as an ad-
miring blonde girl who helped make IN
the extensive gallery that ACCOMPANIED the
pair termed 1t.
From starting tee to the last green both
men played steadily and with splendid
nerve and judgment. rl7
1t was nip and tuck between them Horst
mann would lead by up and then Carnea
gle would secure like advantage. Every
fine stroke, and they were numerous. was
appiauded by the gallery, which was COM
posed OF scores of enthusiasts and was the
largest ever seen on the Chevy Chase links
Ihere was only one thing to criticise about
.hls .h interest and that was the anxiety of
the followers which led them to get too
close to the players sometimes for the lat
ter convenience. In future gallery
guard will probably accompany such a
pair in order to keep spectators within
proper bounds, away from teeine grounds
and greens alike.
Carnegie took the lead on the tenth hole
by Horstmann getting stymied, but on the
seventeenth it looked as if the Washington
man would forge ahead. Carnegie usinp
brassey, landed his ban behind one Of
the sand pipes in such a position that IT
seemed impossible for him to extricate If
With remarkable loft, however, he car
fled 1t out and landed 1t within four feet
or the hole, making the latter In four
Horstmann made the prettest approach
shot of the game on this hole, and it was
naiVed with Carnegie up the eighteenth
mole was commenced. Carnegie used his
brassey in driving from the tee and the
ball landed outside the green to the east
few feet in the grass. .Horstmann made
fine drive that took his ball on the prean
about dozen feet from the hole The gal
lery thought his chance to win this hole
was certain He endeavored to make the
hole in three, but the ball rolled only to
the hole side and stopped. Carnegie made
a nerVy approach and holed on the next
shot in four, Horstmann's score being the
same for that hole. He was beaten for the
game ana cup oy UP. Both men went the
course IN 81, two more than bogey
smaIrs Superior Showing.
For the final in the consolation cup F. S.
Sr,au of
E. P. Brooke of Sandy Spring This was
another splendid exhibition of nerve and
execution by both men,and considering they
are virtually novces at golf their work
during the tournament was truly remark
able. This was especially true of Mr.
Small. In the qualification round Thurs
day he used 1S7 strokes to make SO holes,
and asked that his name be kept out of
the papers. He got into form Friday, how
ever, and was altogether right Saturday
In his game with Mr.. Robert Hayden in
the semi-fnals both men negotiated the
IS holes in 50 strokes. Mr.. Small had
handicap of in the medal play handicap,
and his cup score counted in the latter,
making him the winner with 70 net. Mr..
Hayden, however, would have won the ham
dicap if he had entered therein as his
| handicap would have been 8, thus giving
| him - net. He was afraid, however, that
| thinking about medal play would iniu~e
| his cup game, and consequently he con-
| fined himself to the latter.
| While Mr.. Small beat Mr. Hayden one up
| in twenty holes Saturday morning he was
| also required to do extra work to defeat
Mr.. Brooke in the afternoon. Both We're
see-saWing all through their game, just
Horstmann and Carnegie We're in theirs,
and We're even up after the eighteenth hole
| had been negotiated. The nineteenth hole
was necessary and Small won one up.

cup, the medal handicap cup and the cup
for the best gross score in the latter.
Other Winners.
Mr.. Horstmann received the runner up
cup in the championship event and Mr.. G.
c. Lafferty won the cup for the lowest
score in the qualifying rounds, 164.
The defeat of Mr. Horstmann by Mr. Car
negie makes matters exceedingly interest
ing between these admirable players. They
had been competitors seven times previous
to the game Saturday and Mr. Horstmann
had been victor on four occasions. Mr.
Carnegie's win evened up things between
them Consequently their next meeting
will be looked for with much animation by
their mutual friends here and elsewhere.
The second prize in the medal handicap
will be played for by Mr. Marvin Thomp-
net scores of 176 Mr.. Thompson's handi-
cap was nine and Mr.. Mauro's sixteen, their
gross scores being 1S5 and 1872 respectively.
