COLUMBIA GOLF CLUBS
OPENING TOURNAMENT
Large Entry List for the
Closed Handicap Event.
Nearly All Crack Players of the Organ.
ization Compete for the Cup-E. D.
Carusi Captures the Prize.

The Columbia Golf Club opened the
terday, with medal score handicap
tournament, open to it's members only.
The conditions We're favorable in
every respect; and as a result some
| good golf was witnessed by fair gall
| Iery. Considering the season, the en-
tries were quite numerous, and included
nearly all the crack players of this
popular club.
| 1t is proposed to hold similar events
each Saturday during the season. the
green committee having decided upon
this form of contests instead of a tour
ney,1 open to all corners, as it was at
| first intended to hold. These matches
will give many members an opportunity
of competing in tourney play, who
would not otherwise do so, il they had
to play against visiting cracks.
The course was in fine shape, though
several of the putting greens were rolly
and heavy and lacked life, it taking sew
eral strokes more than in the spring
matches to make some of the holes.
About half of the eighteen holes were
on temporary green's and this may ac
count in measure for the scores made
by some of the crack players.
Cup Won by Carusi.
The cup which was offered as a prize
was won by E. d. Carusi, with gross
total of S5, with handicap of u, bring
ing him 73 net. Messrs. E. S. Duvall and
w. Bennett tied at rs net for second
place. and Mr.. T. Lanston finished third
with rs net, having gross score Of "a
with an IS allowance.
Dr. L. Lee Harlan was the only
scratch man ard finished considerably
lower down the list than is usual to see
this clever golfer. He played a splen-
did game, as the score-S1-shows.
This is but one above bogy for the reg
uar course. Mr. J. c. Davidson had a
handicap of on a gross of Sc, which
gave him the same figure at which Dr.
Harlan finished
DR.. Walter s. Harlan had net of So.
his handicap being 8 on 30. and Mr.
Louis Weaver made it in 81 gross, with
a handicap of s.
Had Numerous Entries.
Thirtyfive entries were posted en- the
score board, but of these only twenty
one went over the course and turned in
cards. The handicaps ranged from to
"a strokes, and in several instances it
was agreed that the allowances were too
liberal.
The entrants who withdrew or failed
to hand in cards were Messrs Seton, G.
Weaver. j. Woodruff, Victor Kaufman,
A. S. Mattingly. Brooks F. A. Barnard.
S. L. Derrick. B. F. Cole, and j. Nc

EASTERN ATHLETIC CLUB
DISTRICT CHAMPIONS
Still Defending the Baseball
Honors Won in 1899.
Has Defeated All the Crack Local
Teams-Players Good Enough for
Professional Work.

The baseball team representing the
| Eastern Athletic Club this season again
successfully defended the title to the
championship of the District which it
first. won in 1899, when il defeated the
crack Bureau Uf Engraving, the Sham
rocks, and other strong teams. Since
that time it has not suffered defeat, and
has met every team of any prominence
heroabout5. It's last big game was with
the Radfords at American League Park,
in which the Easterns won.
Manager Rice is in communication
with Manager Lotus for a game with
the Senator's at the close of the league
season. and he hopes also to play a
game here with the famous Cuban
Giants.
Team of Star Players.
The team undoubtedly. comprises all
the crack players in the city. and its
members have during the past season
materially strengthened many of the
departmental and other teams, and their
services were nearly always in demand
for special games.
Harry Colliflower. pitcher and captain
of the team, is very popular local
player He started his baseball carceI.
with the Georgetown University team
and after that played with Virginia,
Texas, and New York leagues, and with
the Cleveland National League team.
He has never severed his connection
with the Eastern Athletic Club.
Waller is one CT the best pitchers in
the District. and his services are nearly
always in demand for special games. He
started with the Congress Heights team
in '9s and earned place with the East
ern Athletic Club in 1900, and has been
with il ever since.
Venable. shortstop, and Gates, catcher.
are among the most popular and capa-
bic players in the District. They are
the stars of the city iI
their respective positions. They have
both filed professional berths, and one
at least will probably sign again nex.
season in his old place.
Charlie" King, first base. and F. ].
Rice, right field, were among the crack
High School players of last year. and
ably fill any position in the infield also
They give promise of playing a very
fast game next season.

Won BUELow ON THE TARIFF.
German Chancellor Says Duties on
Meats Will Remain.

BERLIN. December 11.-Chancellor Won
Buelow's presence In the reichstag today
caused expectation that he would make q
statement regarding Venezuela, and the
house was filled. but he did not refer to
international politics. He dwelt on the
tariff bill, and said that If the reduction Of
duty on agricultural machinery and imple-
ments. as, provided for in the Kardorff
amendment, was adopted. the federated
governments would take the changes into
serious consideration. They would not con-
SENT however, to the fixing Of minimum
duties on animals and meats. The govern
ment. in making the new commercial
treaties, would guarantee to the domestic
animal industry protection enough to insure
Its prosperous development. and would ac-
cept no provisions in treaties which would
render it impossible to adopt the necessary
veterinary measures to prevent animal dis
eases coming into Germany from abroad.
The chancellor's statement was greeted
with applause from the right party and
with derlsive laughter from the members
Of the left party.

LEGISLATION RECOMMENDED.
Change in a Subdivision to Accord
With Highway Plans.

The District Commissioners have decided
to recommend to Congress legislation to
rectify the subdivision Of Fairview Heights
in accordance with the highway plans. AS
the first step to this end the authorities
have referred to the corporation counsel
a report on the subject prepared by Mr.
w. P. Richards, the assistant engineer in
charge of street extension. Mr.. Richards
suggests that the matter can be rectified by
legislation similar to the following:
THAT upon the dedication Of Milwaukee
street through the subdivision Of Fairyiew
Heights. District Of Columbia, the Commits
sioners Of the District OF Columbia are
hereby authorized ard directed to abandon
the portion Of Massachusetts, avenue bound
ed by blocks six, seven and eight Of Fair
view Heights. except where said avenue is
Included with the plan for a permanent
system OF highways in that part of the Dis
trict Of Columbia lying outside Of cities
and the portions Of said avenue SO abandon
ed shall revert to the owners Of lots abut-
ting thereon"
be In accordance with former action Of
Congress and orders Of the Commissioners,
for instance, in the appropriation act for
1907 certain streets were directed to be
abandoned and adjusted as follows: 1.-THE
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia are hereby authorized to change and
adjust the line Of Cincinnati street, in the
vicinity of Connecticut avenue. and of
Warder avenue in the vicinity OF Rock
Creek Church road, and of Park road be-
tween Kenesaw avenue and Klinge Ford
road. and of street In the subdivision of
Deanwood Heights, upon plans approved
by them"
There Is also case on record In the sur
veyors office In which Kenesaw avenue and
Piney Branch road were abandoned under
an order OF the Commissioners, the land
In the abandoned streets reverting to the
adjacent owners, the order of the Commits
sioners being based on sections 252 to 256
of the Revised Statutes Of the District

were leaning back in their chairs enjoying
the fracas that was proceeding within the
republican ranks and saying nothing them
selves
Senator Hale of Maine made a plea for
further elaboration before taking vote
and suggested that in order to permit gen.
tlemen to further acquaint themselves with
the subject he proposed to move that the
Senate adjourn until Monday.
Senator Quay then took the floor again.
He said that Senator Beveridge. who was
a member of the republican national con-
vention. which Endorsed statehood for the
three territories, and Senator Lodge. VINO
as presiding officer of that convention put
the question. and Senator Hale, who was
familiar with the long fight that had peen
made for statehood, surely did not neeo
further time for consideration.
IF the republicans can lie to the people
about the admission of territories in their
platform" said Senator Quay, raising MS
usually placid voice to a pitch which mace
II ring throughout the chamber, they can
lie about any other planks Of their plat
form.''
Senator Quay said that the corridors and
cloak rooms were full of rumors that TINS
bill Is to be defeated by obstruction: that
there should be delay after delay Whlle
votes now for the bill were being switched
off one by one. He protested against dila-
tory tactics which threatened vote upon
the bill.
An Adjournment Until Monday.
Senator Quay was inclined to make
test vote on Senator Hale's motion to ad-
journ until Monday. He evidently was In
q pugnaci mood and was willing to rally
his strength and, II necessary, expose 1t
In order to bring the question quickly to
issue of whether the Senate intended to
keep the statehood bill before 1t until 1t
should be finally passed upon.
But suddenly a weakness developed In
his forces.
Senator Cockrell on the democratic SIDE
voiced his opinion in favor of adJourning
until Monday. There was apparent dispo-
sition on the part of some other democrats
to coincide with him. and Senator Quay i'm
mediately acuuiesced in what appeared to
be the general wish that the bill should go
over to come up again Monday, so he
did not resist the motion which Mr.. Hale
put. and which was carried.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

At the opening OF the session OF the House
Of Representatives today. Sunday January
IS. was set aside for paying tribute to the
memory Of the late Representative Charles
A. Russell Of Connecticut.
Mr.. Olmstead Pa.). for committee on
elections No. 2, called up the report from
his committee. which limits the period for
taking testimony in the contested election
case Of Wagner against Butler from the
twelfth Missouri district.
The sitting member in this case was re-
elected to fill a vacancy created by the ac-
ton Of the House in unseating him at the
last session. At the November election this
year he had something over 5000 plurality
on the face of the returns. His opponent
charged systematic and stupendous fraud
and the election committee reported the
resolution to shorten the time for taxing
testimony in order that the house might
pass upon the case before the expiration Of
the session, March 4, next.
Mr. Richardson, the minority leader. rails
ed the question Of consideration against the
report.
The House voted, 136 to ia, to consider
the report. Pending its consideration Mr..
Wadsworth On. " reported from the com
mittee on agriculture a bill to appropriate
81 100000 to eradicate the foot and mouth
disease among the live stock in New Eng
land and gave notice that he would call 1t
up tomorrow
Mr. Richardson then made the point OF
order that the report of the elections COM
mittee was directly in the teeth OF the fed
eral statutes. fixing the time Tor taxing
testimony and was not privileged.
The speaker ruled that the House having
voted to consider the report the point OF
order came too late.

GEN spAu1D1Ngs RETIREMENT
Will Resign When Satisfactory Sue

There is revival of rumors of the early
retirement Of Gen. o. L. Spaulding, assist
ant secretary of the treasury. Officials OF
the Treasury Department this afternoon did
not care to talk about the matter. 1t has
been known for a good while that. owing to
the i'll health of Gen. spaulding. he pre-
ferred a transfer to some other place in
the treasury service.
1t Is also understood that In view Of Cen
eral Spaulding's desires Secretary Shaw has
for good while been making quiet can
vass to ascertain where he could find a
suitable man for the position. He has not
vet discovered the man, and 1t Is said he
will be in no hurry about making the
change 1t is expected that whenever Sec
rotary Shaw selects a man satisfactory to
himself and the President, General Spauld-
ing will probably hand In his resignation,
and a place will be found for him that Will
be acceptable.
