Many Surprises in Second Round of
Columbia Golf TOURNEY.

Columbia Golf Tourney.
The second round of match play for the
Governors and Presidents cups at the
spring tournament of the columbia Golf
Club yesterday afternoon proved to be an
unusually exciting and interesting exhibit
ton of the great Scotch game. The chief
interest centered around the play for the
Governors cup, and the way the players
with regulations which should have
brought them out victors were moved
down was worth going miles to witness.
W. C. Carnegie had been playing in the
Qualifying round and the morning match
like three-time winner put MI Mccain
mon took his measure in the afternoon and
won by up. The same applies to Mr.
Dixon of Philadelphia, who surrendered to
Louis Weaver by the overwhelming score
Of s up and 4. Mr.. Weaver has been play
ing excellent golf this spring. his expert
ence in the south during the past winter
being very beneficial, and the experts at
the Columbia club last evening were pick
ing him for the winner OF one of the big
cuDs =
John Davidson had been going SO well in
the morning and Mr.. Horstuann SO badly
that It was expected the latter would meet
with all sorts OF trouble In the afternoon,
but both reversed their mornings play,
with the result that Mr.. Horstmann won
out by the big margin Of up and 5.
Defeat Of the Cracks.
Then came the real sensation of the day,
the match between DR.. Lee Harlan and
Mr. E. P. Brooke, which the latter won by
up and 3. Dr.. Harlan is the idol of the
Columbia golfers, and on past performances
the best player in the organization, but
he seemed to have lost every friend he had
yesterday, as all the members were root
ing for Mr.. Brooke. 1t Is a good thing
for the game to have several of the experts
players, and for this reason Mr. Brooke had
the crowd with him yesterday afternoon.
From the very start Mr.. Brooke got the
upper hand on DR.. Harlan and he never
once relinquished this advantage. The
first and second holes were placed to
Brookes credit and the third hole halved.
The fourth and fifth were also gone over
without any advantage, but on the sixth
it seemed as though the doctor must gain
the hole, as Brooke sliced off into the long
grass and bushes. DR.. Harban's drive was
a magnificent exhibition of skill, the ball
rolling clear to the green but his putt was
short. and as Brooke got out of his diff
Guilty very nicely the hole was again halved.
On the seventh and eighth holes both
players gave skillful exhibitions of how
the game should be played, and both were
halved.
DR.. Harlan broke his long string of
ciphers on the ninth hole. but to do 50 he
had to go under DOGGY showing Just
how good Mr.. Brooke was going. The doc
tors drive was the longest and his APP
proach beauty, while Brooke was short on
both strokes. On the tent.i hole Brooke
kept right after his opponent and quickly
regafned the lost point. Both drove into
the woods on this hole, but Brooke got out
of trouble better and won. ,
A hard. nasty road runs through the elev-
enth hole and both players got bad lies in
driving. Brooke pulled back. according to
the rules and got on the green with his
next stroke, and the DOCTOR playing from
his bad lie. did the same. the result being a
halve. Both players wsiit over the twelfth
hole in good form. missed putt by the
doctor robbing him Of chance to pull out,
and the result was another halye.
The unlucky thirteenth hole went to Mr..
Brooke, as the fourteenth and when the
fifteenth hole was reached with a halye,
the doctor surrendered and both walked
back to the club house amid the cheers of
the big gallery that had watched the con-
test from the start. Mr.. Brooke is one of
those steady players who can always be
depended on to play veil: but he simply
outdid himself yesterday. 1and the captain
of the Columbia golf team had to tip his hat
to the fine playing of his subordinate.
Mr.. Ormsby McCammons victory over
Mr.. Carnegie was also a popular one, as
prior to the match it was the general Opin-
ion that the latter had good look in for
the principal cup.
The result of yesterday afternoons games
places the finish for the governors cup be-
tween the Columbia and Chevy Chase clubs

of contests resulted.
