COLUMBIA COLE
CLUB TOURNAMENT
Spring Open Event Began
Yesterday.
CHEVY CHASE CLUB ENTRIES
DR.. Lee Harlan Won the Qualification
Cup With 166 Score-E. P. Brooke
Was Second-Complete Scores Made
and Pairs for Today.

The Columbia Golf Club began its an
| nual spring tourney yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock. on its course on the Bright
wood Road. The weather was superb for
the sport, and in the main the conditions
were favorable. At times sharp cross
cut wind blew over the elevated places,
making sure direction and approach diff
| ficult. and this. added to the nature OF the
| course, which is considered more diff
cult and more gamey than any south of
New York, called for the best sort of golf.
and as result only the experts found
the going easy. and good cards were
rather the exception. The galleries for
! the first days play were not large.
Some OF the visitors found fault with
the greens because they were so hard
and close cropped. that it made the put
ting lively and difficult TO gauge. The
need of rain is very apparent on this
course. which, With its exposed eleva-
tions, necessarily becomes and stays dry
and harder than a latter one.
Numerous Entries.
Outside of this the tourney opened IN
were numerous. and generally of a class
to bring out good playing. Entries from
out of town are not so numerous as they
we're at last weeks Chevy Chase Club
tourney, nor are there any great stars,
but this fact is all the more pleasing
in that it makes the chances for winning
more even, and matches will not be won
before they are played.
The Chevy Chase Club entries are nu-
merous. and of high class, and include
such cracks rs Mr.. Horstmenn, Mr.. Nc
Cannon, Mr.. Hayden, Mr.. Boardman, and
Or. Sterff<t. and the club depends upon
these gentlemen TO help redeem some OF
the laurels lost at their own tourney last
week. Hr. Hayden won the only prize
for bis club last week. and is tied for
another with DR.. Sterrett. and their tie
will be played of next week. Mr.. Horst
mann qualified for the first sixteen in
third place, and is paired with Mr. Sci
fridge for this morning. Mr. McCammon
qualified for the consolation, and will play
with Mr. w. T. Harlan.
Or. Lee Harlan il Shape.
