Some Star Players Here From Outside

There was only thing necessary to
insure a successful spring tourney of the
Chevy Chase Golf Club, which started this
morning and that was the weather. "Old
Probabilities came to the fore in splendid
style last night with refreshing and much
needed rain and with bright sunshine
this morning the weather can be said to be
ideal. A stiff breeze from the north hurt
the driving some Of the holes, but
taken altogether better conditions could
not be asked for.
The entry list this spring is remarkable
on account Of the large number Of play
ers from out-of-town clubs and the COM
paratively small list of home players. The
formidable regulations Of the many of the
foreign players may have scared off a great
er portion Of the local golfers who have
heretofore taken part in all the Chevy
Chase tournaments, as they doubtless knew
their chances for first honors would be
small with so many first-class contenders.
Mr.. H. Ashenden, clerk of the club. had
quite a task rigging up a board large
enough to hold the entries and figures, but
he overcame the difficulty by separating
the visiting from the local players.
By special request Of the green COM
mittee, Colonel Denny, chairman; Nathan
iel s. Simpkins, Ormsby AcCammon, F.
Oden Horstman and DR.. William M. Gray,
the contestants were asked to start early
this morning on account of the big entry
list. 1t was thought at first that the
start would be made at 10 o'clock, but as
the first pair, A. Holland of Nassau and
c. D. Haas Of Hampton Roads. was ready
at 9:15 they were allowed the honor of
starting the Chevy Chase golf spring tour
ney of 1902 After that the pairs drove off
in regular order, and the last pair got
away by II o'clock.
