COLUMBIA'S IbAM
PLAYED GREAT GOLF
Defeated Dumbarton in the
"otar" Cup Series
Dr.. Lee H-rban Makes New Record Tor
the Course by Phenomenal Playing
Standing of the Teams.

The last CT the inter-club matches in
the spring series for the Evening
Star cup was played yesterday after
neon on the Dumbarton course by the
Dumbarton and Columbia Golf Clubs
and Was handiiy won by the latter 80
up. The nearest the home team came to
winning a round was when Nicholson
came in all even with Hough, of the
visitors.
The result of the match places the
Columbia team in undisputed lead in the
series, it having won three and lost
no games, and with such an advantage
it should handily win the fall series
and the cup, which 1t will hold for a
year.
Tire course is one OF the most diff
cult IN the South and yesterdays work
with the links entirely strange TO nearly
all the visitors, makes the victory all
the more creditable.
Dr.. Ha-ban's New Record.
Aside from the team total. the match
was productive OF medal play which
will for some time to come be the rec
ord for the course. BogeY is 66, and So
was the best that the course had ever
been played in. Last Saturday DR.. Har-
ban, of the Baltimore SGnbrooke Club.
made the round in "a, and there was
considerable exultation over it.
II was stated that bogey figures
were impossible over the course, but
yesterday DR.. Lee L. Harlan, of the
Columbia team, came dangerously near
the colonefs figures by making the
round in SO, going out in "a and coming in
in 35. He made thirteen of the eighteen
holes in or under bogey, and would un-
doubtedly have made the &c if he had
escaped the trouble which his slicing
drive gave him in the II hole coming
in, which took him T. two over bogey.
and ii 4 tuft Of grass had not held his
short put for the ninth hole, which he
made in four, the par figure.
The score was phenomenal for the
course, and the sting of defeat in the
match was considerably lessened for the
Dumbartons by the pleasure they felt
at having DR.. Harlan make such a
splendid record for their course.
Scores by Holes.
Dr. Harban's medal score over the
course was as follows:
Out-5, 3, 3. 4, 4, 3, 4, 4. +3i
In-3, 4. 3, I, 4. 1, 3, I, 3-S5-69.
Mr.. J. c. Davidson, of the Columblas.
beat the old record of SO by strokes.
At the turn his card showed sc and it
looked as if he were going to set new
figures. but he had trouble several
times going out, and the best he could
do the nine holes in was 45. His card
showed the following:
Out-5, 4, ?, 3. 3, 5. 4, 6. 4--36.
Int. s. 5, 4, t. ). 4, 5. 4-45-S1.
Mr.. Davidson played Mr.. ]. P. Willett
and beat him up. His opponent is a
young player who is making rapid prog
rcss in the game and bids fair to be-
come clever. especially in driving. He
completed the eighteen holes in 80, TAX
ing 46 going out and A coming in.
