northwest made matters somewhat unpleas-
ant, although far from being disagreeable
Today the weather went back into the ideal
class, and the lovers of golf were guaran-
teed a day Of enjoyment
This springs tournament has been great
success, especially from a playing point Of
view. In the aggregate the entry list was
not quite so large as last spring OF fall, but
In exhibition of play it far outshines any
thing Chevy Chase has had in the past
A remarkable part of this springs tour
ney is the lack Of form shown by the Chevy
chase players. Heretofore they have gen.
orally driven off all the local players at an
early stage of the tournament. but this
spring they have fallen early by the way
side and the crack players from the Column
bia club alone remain to maintain the repu-
tatlon of the District of Columbia in the
golf world. The playing of the Columbia
men In this tournament has demonstrated
that the work of the team from that or
ganization in it's match against Chevy
Chase for The Evening Star Cup was not
f1uke, but permanent advancement in golf
ability, and that the club must be reckoned
with in the future in all local contests
Interest in Today's Play.
The greatest interest of the today's play
centered In the match between John Reid.
jr., Of st. Andrews and Dr. Lee Harlan of
yesterday that 1t was thought could hardly
be equaled by DR.. Harlan, but the friends
OF the latter were looking for st. Andrews
man to go off in his work, which would en-
able the local mans usual reliable playing
to place him a winner.
W. e. Carnegie was to meet w. 8. Brooke,
another steady player, and this match it
was felt, should also be a very close one.
1t was believed that should the doctor be
good enough to defeat Mr.. Reid and Mr..
VITO
the conditions would revert to almost the
same as on the closing day last fall. when
Mr.. Horstman WAS beaten out by the Pitts
burg man one upi1]Atttha time 1t was pre-
dicted that DR.. hae Harlan would finish
with Mr.. Carnegie, butt in the semi-finals
Mr.. Horstman outplayed the doctor, and
the first named walked. off with the chief
trophy. Mr.. Carnegie started off in poor
form on the opening day, but has almost
completely recovered 1nis form. 1t was
agreed that should tl1ei finals be between
him and Mr.. Reid this afternoon, a treat.

In this handicap It will be seen that the
Chevy Chase Club players have come to the
front with rush as to numbers, and will
probably do their best to save at least one
cup or trophy out of the many handsome
prizes offered. 1t will take the best of play
ing to carry off this trophy as there are
several 'sleepers'' in the event with big
handicap figures that should land them at
least even, If not under Col. Bogey's fig
ures.
