Brooke won three up and two to play.
They were closely followed by Mr.. John
Reid of st. Andrews and Mr.. John Moller
of Appawamis, who had completed their
contest at the twelfth hole with a score
of eight up and six to play, in Mr.. Reid S
favor
Most of the club members gathered about
the eighteenth green deserted Mr.. Mccain
mons red coat coming over the hills from
the seventeenth hole in the lead of Mr..
Brooke, and concluded that the home
player was in the lead. This surmise was
not only justified, but continued by Mr..
McCammon's final victory at the last hole,
three up and one to play.
Mr.. Fl. Selfridge of the Vesper Country
Club and Mr.. F. L. Small, jr, of Hampton
Roads were the next to hole out. the for
mer winning 2 up. The Carnegie-Lloyd
match ended we'll out on the course
Mr.. Carnegie having obtained a lead of
eight when at the eleventh hole.
To the great delight of the Columbia men
out on the course this morning DR.. L. L.
Harlan defeated James Rhett of the Cres-
cent Athletic Club, up at the last hole
The Columbia man began badly, but recov-
cred after leaving the second tee, overcame
Mr.. Rhetts lead, played evenly with him
until past the seventeenth hole, and finish
ed a winner because of superior iron play.
j. S. Taylor and 0. Perrin finished their
contest at the seventeenth hole, 3 UP and
to play The last pair in consisted of Louis
Weaver of the Columbia Club and H. w.
Perrin. The Columbia man in the lead :,
up and to play.
In consequence of this mornings play the
matches OF this afternoon are likely to
produce even better golf than that of yes
terday. Mr.. Reid Is expected to win from
Mr.. Weaver rather easily. But the other
players are so evenly matched that the re-
suits are all doubtful. McCammon and Dr.
Harlan the two foremost Washington
players. are unfortunately pitted against
each other. Interest in the other drawings
Is largely personal. but this afternoons
play will determine the possibility of a local
entry in the finals.
In the consolation match S. c. Clark beat
W NJ Gray 1 up: Mckinley beat Goodwin
up and 1 to play: Thompson beat Horst
mann l up: H. Maxwell beat Dalzell I'D
and 3 to play; Seligmann beat Hayden up;
A. s. Mattingly beat w. G. Peter 1 up; j.
c: Davidson beat H. Whitney g up and 2 to
play; E. D. Carusi beat A. P. Knapp up.
Reid-Moller Match.
The wiseacres at the club house selected
the match between John Reid, jr of ST.
Andrews and John Moler. jr., of Appa-
wants as the best of the day, and a small
gallery started off with this pair Repre-
sentative Gillette of Massachusetts being
among the onlookers. The prophets once
more went astray, as Mr.. Reid won a one
sided match, the score being eight up and
six to play Mr.. Reid comes of an old golf
family and has been playing the game ever
since he could handle club. His father
anu DiptHtlS are also nlSn-cldSS players.
Mr.. Moller came to Washington with quite
reputation as golf player, but he was
away off in his work both yesterday and
today.
On only one hole did Mr.. Moler outpiay
MIR. Reid and then a splendid, if not lucky
approach shot prevented the latter once
more nOseing out by a remarkable put shot.
Mr.. Reds short game is something re-
markable, and after witnessing his play the
conclusion is reached that the gentleman
who defeats him will most assuredly carry
off the chief trophy of the tourney. OF the
twelve holes played this morning only once
did Mr.. Reid go over DOGGY figures and
twice was under them. Going out Mr. Reid
did the nine holes in 80, one under DOGGY,
and after the turn had one up on DOGGY
for the three holes played.
To compare this pair, the critic would say
that Mr.. Moller has all the style, his stroke
being perfect, while Mr.. Reid has a sort of
hating stroke that isn't near as pretty, but
for effectiveness was much better than his
opponents, which only illustrates that
style isn't everything in the great Scotch
game.
At the start off Reid made pretty drive,
while Moller sliced his ball off into the
grass. Reds approach was IDEAL while
Mollers was poor. the former going out in
4, while the latter took 6.
Mr.. Reid was lucky the second hole
his drive hugging the ground, but struck
in nice spot and bounded over the big
bunker. Both approached we'll, but a SPLEEN
did put by Reid let him out at H. Moller
taking ).
On the third hole both gentlemen made
splendid drives and approaches, but once
