found the beautiful Chevy Chase crowded.
The entry list to the handicap, which
came over from Baltimore this morning,
was a large one, and the interest in the
match play would have drawn large gal
leries. But instead there were only about
a dozen on the course up to noon. and six
of these were in match play. The rain
that came down was of the penetrating
kind, and many players who arrived at
the club house with the intention of going
into the handicap got only as far as the
pOrches.

day wears on, the indications are that

The Harban-Bartlett Match.
The start of the Harlan Bartlett match
was most suspicious for the latter. as he
won the first hole. Both players made
good drives. but DR.. Harlan partially
topped his approach shot and fell short.
Bartlett went well all the way. making
the hole In four, while the doctor took FIVE
On the second hole, the drives of both
were almost identical. but Bartlett again
approached better. and 1t was only a mag
rifcent putt Of Is yards that enabled the
doctor to halve 1t. The same conditions
prevailed on the third hole, the doctor
again falling short in approaching, but an
other beautiful putt secured another half.
On the fourth hole Mr.. Bartlett struck his
first bad luck his iron drive being a bad
slice to the right. while the doctor landed
on the green and went out in 3. Mr. Bart
lett made a good recovery, but had to take
two strokes on the green. totally four. This
made the contestants all even and as they
were playing as good and better than
DOGGY" a first-class match was assured.
