Evening star., 1902-05-05
The Start,


. o'clock by Mattingly and Grey, and by
that time there was a gallery of fully 400
spectators. A big majority of the crowd
waited for the stars of the two teams to
drive off and when Horstman and Davidson
course. Later on, when DR.. Lee Harlan and
Lafferty started over the course, there was
almost a stampede of the spectators, but
few remaining behind at the club house
Close matches were looked for between
Horstman and Davidson and Harlan and
Lafferty, but the contrary was the case the
Chevy Chase pair being out by Ii up, Laf-
ferty suffering to the extent of ..
A close analysis of the different pair con-
tests would indicate that Columbia won out
on putting alone. the play of Harlan. Da-
wilson and Mckinley on the green's being
at times nsational. DR.. W.S. Harlan
also played a beautiful all around game,
his approach shots being very clever OF
the Chevy Chase players, DR.. Gray and
OrmSby McCammon were seen to unusually
good advantage. the latter especially. as he
had Weaver to beat. one of Columbia's best
men. Mr.. Weaver made splendid showing
in the south this spring, and being in good
condition the victory of Mr. McCammon
is all the more praisewOrthy.
The spectators who clustered around the
club house for the home coming of the
different pairs got news of the progress
made by the players as the spectators DROP
ped out of the travel and sought the shade
of the trees a relief from the hot sun.
DR.. Gray and Mattingly were first to fin
ish, the former being a winner by 9 up, and
then came McClintock and Bennett the
Chevy Chase man being two to the good.
This put Chevy Chase to the fore by the
score of to and the Columbia's follow
ers were somewhat cast down. The third
pair In was DIR. w. S. Harlan and Mr.
Simpkins, and the first points scored for
Columbia were registered, as the former
won by up. Then came Messrs. Davidson
and Horstman over the hill and when the
former turned in his card as winner by
4 up, leaving Chevy Chase but one in the
lead. the followers of Columbia's banner
were very much encouraged.
In Favor Of Columbia
The next pair to report at the home hole
was Messrs. Thompson and Britton and the
formers card sent the Chevy Chase fig
ures bounding up, as he had won by 3 I'D.
Two more points were added to Chevy
Chase's score by the next pair, McCammon
defeating Weaver 2 up. This made six
up for Chevy Chase and the outlook was
bad for Columbia.
Only two more pairs remained out at
this point. and 1t all depended upon DR. Lee
Harlan and Mr.. Mckinley The natural
supposition was that the Harban-Lafferty
match would be close, as both are consid-
cred among the cleverest in this vicinity
But the contrary was the case Dr. Harban n
turning in a card that called for 0 up on
Mr.. Laherty. This put a different aspect
on affairs. as the score now stood 16 to 13
In favor of Columbia and all depended upon
the McKinleyParker contest
Mr.. Mckinley belongs to the erratic class
of players, and when he Is in good condi-
tion he can cover any Of the local courses in
hgures very close to bogey. Saturday he
played well and when the cards were
turned in 1t was found that he had won
by up. making the total p to Ii tn favor
of Columbia.
The victory of the Columbia team was a
popular one. as the organization Is COM
paratively new and made up mostly of
young players who have taken an enthu-
siasttc interest In the game. It Is the club 8
first victory over Chevy Chase and for this
reason will boom the sport to a big ex-
tent In the District. The next match for
The Evening Star cup between these teams
will take place on the Chevy Chase course
and 1t will doubtless create big interest.
After Saturdays match, the visiting team
was entertained at the club house and the
