Golf for The Evening Star Cup.
The rain last night and this morning
did not dampen the ardor of the local golf
nlayers and the two games scheduled for
this afternoon in The Evening Star cup
series began on time, and with all four
teams eager for the fray. Out on the CO.
lumbia course the Washington and Column
bia teams played their second game of the
series while the Chevy Chase and Dunn
bartons faced each other, also their sec

drying up quickly under the sun and breeze
from the northeast. Great interest is telt
in these contests by golfers of the District,
and the friends of all four teams made up
large galleries of sightseers at both courses
