CHEVY CHASE GOLF TOURNEY.
Unusual Array of Talent Will Take
Part in the Clnb's FnlI Event.

Part in the Clubs Fall Event.
Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday the
annual fall golf tournament of the Chevy
Chase club will be held, and from present
indications it will be the most successful in
the history of the organization. The tour
| nament is open to all members of the United
States Golf Association and such other play
ers as may be invited. The summer trips
of Messrs. Horstman, Hitt and McCammon
of the Chevy Chase club and Messrs. Har-
ban and Mckinley of the Columbia club
resulted in bringing the local organizations
into prominence, and as a result several of
the most skilful golfers Of the country
promised to participate in the coming Chevy
Chase tournament. So far Findley Doug
las, conceded to be next to Travis, the anna
teur champion in playing strength; w. c.
Carnegie of Pittsburg, who did well in
the Atlantic City tourney; Patrick Grant of
the Brookline, Mass, club; C. H. Seeley of
the Wee Burn club; Bruce Price of Tuxedo
and John Reid of St. Andrews club have
signifed their intention Of taking part with
the Chevy Chase players. Several other
notable golfers may turn up to participate
In the tourney should their engagements
permit. If this array of outside talent par
ticipates in the Chevy Chase tournament it
will require sensational work from the Dis
| tricts best golfers to keep the cups offered
from going out of the city.
The best players of the Columbia Wash
ington and Dumbarton golf clubs will enter
| the tournament, and with proper handicaps
and their usual good playing should give a
good account of themselves.
The Chevy Chase club will probably lose
the services of Ormsby, McCammon and
Larerty, two of the cleverest players in
the District. both Of whom are just recov-
| ering from serious illness and will not be
/ In condition to play anything like their
| best game. Horstnan, Hit and Denny of
| the Chevy Chase club and DR.. Lee Harlan
| and James Mckinley are in rare form at
| present. and upon these players the task
| will fall of keeping one or more of the
| cups at home.
Should the pleasant weather of the past
| two weeks continue through the tourna-
ment the largest gallery that has gathered
| at Chevy Chase for years Will probably be
| condition and the chances are that Colonel
| Bogy will be beaten out frequently.
| The following cups will be offered:
| Club cup-Match play, IS holes; qualifica-
ton round, stroke competition, 36 holes
| second price, prize for lowest score in quali-
| fcation event
