Large Gathering at the Green.

The closing day Of the Chevy Chase fall
golf tournament was ushered in with
cloudy, damp weather, but by the time the
first pair started over the course at 10
o'clock the sun had managed to break
through the clouds and frightened up the
landscape considerably. A slight mist hung
over the course, dampening the greens. but
altogether better weather conditions could
not be asked for. The green continued slow,
the usual thing for this time Of year. and
those players who have been goldng
through the summer months found it diff
cult to adapt their strokes to these condi
tions. Several Of the most capable players
this morning. grasping the situation, tried
to change their stroke and as result either
went over or fell short.
The result of yesterday afternoons play
for the president cup has aroused a great
deal Of interest as the SENT finals have
narrowed down to tilt between the Chevy
Chase and Columbia clubs. Those old-time
rivals. DR.. Lee Harlan and F. Ogden
Aorstman. were once more thrown together,
while George Lafferty and Mr.. Brooke were
the other two representatives of these
clubs. OF the two matches. on form, 1t
looked as though Mr.. Lafferty had some
thing like 10 per cent the better Of 1t over
MI Brooke. but in the Harban-Horstman
game only prophet could foretell the re-
suit. Both these players are at the top Of
their game and the indications are that
Colonel Bogey" will be chased to the tall
timber in the matter of medal play.
The gallery this morning was Of respect
able proportions, many ladies being among
the onloOkers around the club house. The
matches for this morning were doubtless
of the sort to draw out the golf enthusiast,
and then. In addition. the popular handicap
has always been attractive.
The green committee had a great job be-
fore 1t last night going over almost hum
dred names and assigning the handicaps
for today The list which follows demon
strates that it did it's work well and but
little protesting followed the bulletining
OF the names and strokes allowed.

Few Scratch Men.
1t will be seen from these handicaps that
but comparatively few are scratch men
and that the handicaps run up to eighteen
holes. Heretofore 1t has been very difficult
to handicap the players on account of a
great many contestants refusing to hand IN
their cards when they ascertained that they
mad no chance of winning or making a good
showing. For this reason Clerk AshtlrI.n
has been instructed by the green committee
to withhold the bulletining of the different
cards, as IT Is believed this plan will re-
suit In many more cards being handed in
Several pairs of handicap PLAYERS got
away from the initial tee as early as e,
this morning, but the contestants in the
COHSOIdtlOU anu pFeSlQenCS CUPS class
slow reporting. DR.. Gray and Mr. Parks
OF the consolation class were the first TO
get away. it being 1920 when they drove
off on the first hole.
Lafferty and Brooke.
The first couple of the presidents cup to
get under way was Messrs. Lafrerty and
Brooke. 1t was IL o'clock when Mr. LAT
ferty started off with a beautiful drive
while Mr. Brooke topped the ball and sent
1t only a short distance from the tee
On MS second shot Mr.. Brooke drove the
ball into the bunker, but recovered SO well
as, to get the ball within a few feet of the
hole. Meanwhile Mr.. Lafferty had got on
to the green on his approach shot, but in
putting his ball struck that of his oppo-
nent and both bounded away fully twelve
feet. The strokes were even at this point.
but Mr.. Lafferty won the hole by making a
beautiful putt. The second hole was halved
both getting good drives, but Lafferty's APP
proach was short. Brooke got up WELL but
another good putt saved Lafferty.
Lafrerty won the third hole, the result of
beautiful approach shot, and he was now
two up on Brooke. The latter had been
playing with his coat on, but he was suf-
flciently warmed up at this point to null II
off. roll up his sleeves and go to work. Mr..
Brooke plays a strong game from the rear
and his friends predicted a stif game with
Mr.. Lafferty.
Harlan and Horstman.
The next pair off were Messrs. Harlan
and Horstman. When this couple left the
initial tee almost all the spectators around
the club house followed in their wake
making up quite large gallery.
Both started off with good drives and ap-
proach shots and halved the hole in four
On the second hole. DIR. Harlan Outdroye
Mr.. Horstman about fifteen yards. both be-
ing beauties. The approaches of both were
poor, Mr.. Horstman going away past the
hole to the edge of the green, while the doc
tors fell fifteen feet short. Mr. Horstman
putted well. and. as the doctor missed his
try. the hole was ha1ved.
On the third hole Mr.. Horstfnan sliced off
into the grass at the left Of the course, but
his second landed the ball close to that of
DR.. Harban's. On the green DR.. Harlan
fell off in his work, and Mr.. Horstman
through a good putt, won the hole, the first
of the match.
On the fourth hole DR.. Harlan pulled his
Haskell around to the edge Of the green,
and 1t looked like another hole for Mr.
Horstman, but the doctor laid him a stymie
and 1t was halved.
The first pair of the match play to report
to Clerk Ashenden were Messrs. Gray and
Parks. the former winning by up and 6
to play
DR.. Gray did the course in 81 strokes,
and as his handicap Is four. he will have
