One of the most interesting golf matches
of the season was played Saturday after
noon on the Washington Golf Club S. course
between the home team and the Columbia
Golf Club team for The Evening Star cup.
Capt Keferstein of the Washington club
has had difficulty in getting his team to-
gether on account of the illness and ab-
sence of many members but last week he
finally rounded up group OF eight, and
the Columbia players were notified. Dr.
Lee Harlan was unable to get out the
strongest team of the Columbias, and for
this reason 1t was believed the match would
be close and interesting. This proved true.
three of the Washingtons winning their
matches, and by such good margins as to
make the total figures very close.
The weather was almost ideal for good
golf and as the course was in excellent con-
dition, a majority of the sixteen players
put I'D good games. Many skllful approach
shots were made. and on the green's the
putting was of the sensational order.
The match started promptly at O'Clock

spectators being ladies. Messrs Boardman
and Britton were the first to drive Off and

house with up on Mr.. Seton. giving the
Columbias lead Of but q Messrs David
son and Talcott had a pretty match, the
lead being assumed by one or the other at
different times during the round Of the IL
holes. but the former finally won out with
up and Columbia was then leading with 4.
The last pair. but one. to report. was
Messrs. Keferstein and Mattingly. and on
fern the Columbia men should have won
with good margin. But Mr.. Ma-tirgiy
was off his stroke somewhat, and in add!-
ton had the hardest sort of luck in driving
and approaching. Mr., Keferstein, on the
other hand. played brilliantly from start to
flrish and only the remarkable putting of
his opponent kept the score down in small
figures. When the cards were turned in.

the friends Of the home team, as Column

fate of the day hung. Mr.. Mckinley has
the reputation of being .one Of the best
match players In the District. and his work
Saturday was up to his standard, Mr.. Nor

totals>1T to 10 in favor of Columbia. re-
markable thing about Mr.. McKinley's play
Is that in handicaps he appears to go all to
pieces. but in match play he is on his best
stroke from start to finish. In all the
matches that Columbia has played against
the other teams, Mr.. Mckinley has never
been defeated while in handicap scores he
has very seldom If ever figured as q trophy
winner.
