between o. McCammon and l. w. Weav-
er. and E. p. Brooke and F. o. Horst
mann. Each competitor, with the excep-
ton OF Mr.. Weaver. repeated his good
work of the day previous. Mr.. Weaver's
scores yesterday were exceptionally low
for player of his ability, and Mr.. Nc
Cannon won his semi-fnal by up and
TO play. Mr. Horstmann won his semi
final from Mr.. Brooke, by up and 10

Chevy Chase Club men TO compete in
the finals.
Messrs. McCammon and Horstmann
teed off for the final at 3 o'clock. and
completed the course shortly after 5
o'clock. covering eighteen holes. The
former won nine holes, and the latter
four, while the remaining five were
halved. They each made beautiful drives
to the initial green. and were each
blocked. and had to stymie. each making
the hole in bogy. four strokes. Mr..
Horstmann drove out of the course, and
his opponent won the next hole, four to
five. Mr.. Horstmann's putting at the
third hole was decidedly off color, aud
he lost it by two strokes. Mr.. Mccain
mon made it in four. one below bogy.

four better than that of Mr. Horstmann.
Keeps Up Good Work
Mr.. McCammon continued his good
work coming in, and had the match won
at the thirteenth hole. but the two kept
on around the course in hopes that the
winner would break the course record
of IS, made by DR.. Lee Harlan, OF the
Columbia Golf Club. Mr. McCammon
finished with IS strokes, four under
bogy. while it took Mr. Horstmann Sc
strokes to cover the course
The playing of the winner was re-
markable. His drives were excellent
stance. This occurred at the fourteenth
hole. By two of the longest drives
made in the tournament he swatted the
ball up over the hill, on the green, sew
eral feet from the hole. Everyone ex-
pected him to make it in one put. Had
he done so he would have made the hole
in two under bogy and would have
broken the course record. However, the
unexpected always happens, and he fail
ed to make the hole under five strokes.
Mr.. Horstmann drove the ball of the
course at the seventeenth hole. ard it
could not be found He was given the
hole in seven strokes.

the eighteenth hole it was found tina,

golfers around the course, and each had
a large following. A strong though
friendly rivalry exists between these
expert opponents of the favorite Scottish
pastime 1t was learned last night from
authoritative sources that Mr. Carnegie
