GOLF JOURNEYS
SECOND DAYS PLAY
Good Scores Were Made De-
spite the High Wind.
THREE FINAL MATCHES TODAY
Reid Defeated Moller and Will Play in
the Semi-Finals This Morning With
Dr.. Harlan, W. c. Carnegie, and W.
S. Brooke.

With the wind blowing a gale directly
from the northwest, the contestants in
the cup, consolation, and sweepstake
events in the Chevy Chase Club golf tour
ney yesterday morning came on the course
with considerable fear as to what result
their best efforts weuid bring, driving in
the teeth of such a zephyr. 1t blew IN
the morning when the pairs in the three
classes were driving out; it blew when
they were coming in, and it blew still
harder when they came on for the after
noon rounds. The wind conditions made
some clever calculations as to direction
necessary, and even these often went
wrong
The course was IN unusually fine condi-
tion and the putting greens were never
faster The qualifying round gave the
visiting golfers-the cracks-an opportuni-
ty to do some very fine playing, and in
cidentally they made new marks for this
section in several plays, and yesterday,
the second day, notwithstanding the
weather conditions, they almost duplicated
their work.
Mr.. Reid's Fine Play.
The sixteen in the cup and consolation
events, which came through from the
qualifying plays, together with the third
sixteen. a sweepstakes event, appeared
from 10 o'clock on, and drove off as they
arrived, and the whole course was busy
place, for at no time was any hole with
out some pair or other trying for his
score.
Mr.. job nReid, jr., OF st. Andrews, who
won the prize for low score in the quail
flying play, was in his usual good form,
and was followed on both his rounds by
a good gallery. His style of play does
not differ very much from that of Mr..
Carnegie or DR.. Lee Harlan and other
cracks, but he was fortunate yesterday in
many plays to so gauge the wind as to
drive his ball before it, and in few in
stances did he slice.
Mr.. McCammon in Form.
Mr.. ormsby McCammon was in fine
'orm, and his drives were strong and his
direction good, and the fact that he beat
Mr.. E. P. Brooke in the morning round in
used enough confidence in his work to
make DR.. Harlan play hard to win out.
When Mr.. Reid and Mr.. Moller, jr.,
we're paired ii was believed that their |
play would be the star event of the day. |
and turned out to be very fine, as in the |
morning round Mr.. Reid only won by four
up. but it was enough to put Mr.. Molier |
out of the running for the event, and that |
after the latter had kindly though unin-
entionally driven Mr.. Reid's ball into |
he twelfth hole on returning his own to |
he green from n had slice.
Mr.. Weaver Lost.
When Mr.. Reid and Mr.. s. W. Weaver |
appeared in the afternoon round they had |
4 large gallery with them all over the |
course. as did DR.. Harlan and Mr.. Nc
and these proved the star pairs |
Df the day.
The former pair halved their first, and |
by better direction and approach Mr.. Reid |
Won the second, third and fourth. The |
lext was halved, and to Mr. Reid went |
he sixth and to his opponent the seventh.
Reid won at eight and nine. and Weaver |
at ten, thirteen and fourteen, the eleven /
and twelve were halved. and Reid won at I
fifteen and sixteen, with four up and two /
to play.
D.. Harlan Up. /
In the Harlan and McCammOn round |
Dr.. Harlan won the first, lost the second |
both halved the third, McCammon won |
he fourth, both halved the fifth, Harlan !
the sixth and lost at the seventh. but !
won the eighth and ninth. and that made
Harlan one up. Mr.. McCammon's drive
IN the eighth and ninth fell at the water (
hazard, and he lost number OF strokes
On the return Mr.. McCammon won the
tenth and Mr.. Harlan won the eleventh. |
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth, and +,
halved at fifteenth with three to play.
Consolation Play.
In consolation rounds the play was
watched with considerable interest. for
several of those who had qualified for it
we're on the first day looked upon as sure
quantities for the cup match. and among
these were Mr. Davidson and Mr.. Mat
.ingly. Both played good golf yesterday
