DAVIDSONiDEFEATED

Unfavorable weather conditions confront
ed the players in the Chevy Chase golf
| tournament this morning, when the first
rounds of match play for the three different
| groups started. There was a cold, bleak
| wind from the northwest, and frequent
showers made the clubs slippery and diff
| cult to handle. The disagreeable weather
kept away player here and there. there
being several defaults.
Paired for Match Play.
The committee having the tourney in
| charge met last evening Immediately. after
| the final pair had turned in Its score. and

Running over the list of the first sixteen.
1t will be seen that by strange streak Of
luck many of the crack players of the Dis
trict are pitted against one another. The
second sixteen appears to be the most even
ly assorted group of the three. and Mr.. Geo.
Weaver looks to be decidedly the best in
the second consolation class.
In the second consolation there were only
three pairs arranged for because Of the
peculiar system of drawing. but those who
drew the byes will get started this after
noon.
Slow in Starting.
The contestants in all three classes were
slow in getting started this morning, it be-
ing nearly IL o'clock when the last pair
teed Off for the first hole AS consequence
there was considerable crowding on several
holes and exasperating waits resulted.
These waits are abhorred by the players as
they have tendency to chill and put them
away off their stroke.
Few spectators were at the club house
this morning to see the start, but all who
were there watched the start of the Horst
mann-Laughlin match with considerable in
terest, as 1t was the general impression that
one of the two would go through to the
finals. On the, first half dozen holes Mr..
mann appeared to be sluggish in his play.
AS the day wore on the weather condi-
tons improved considerably and the pros
poets for a good afternoon for the second
round looked to be bright
