In selecting John Davidson to bring up

his sational finish with DR.. Gray last

umbia team, and it was hoped that he
would do as well against his Quaker city
opponent.
Hit Caddie.
Before starting out this morning several
OF the players were trying out their mus
cles in making drives from the practice tee
Mr.. Perrin Of the Philadelphias started out
his little colored caddie to watch the ball.
but before he had gone a hundred feet made
a wicked drive. The bali was only two
feet from the ground, and taking a curve
caught the little colored boy in the middle
of the back. The little fellow in trying to
dodge the ball ran right in Its way. and
when the two came together he went up
In the air like a chicken struck with q

How They Finished.
The first pair to show over the hills on
the homeward journey were. Of course.
Messrs. Perrin and Thompson, the former
winning by 8 up.
Then came Messrs. Gray and Kirk, and
again the score was in favor Of the Quaker,

The first bright ray Of sunshine came
Washtngton's way when Messrs Conklyn
and Lineweaver came up to the last hole
which the former captured and won out
the match by one up.
Notwithstanding Mr.. McCammon's bad
start he finished his match with Mr.. J. T.
Lineweaver with honors all even.
The next couple in were Messrs. McFar-
land and Horstman. the clever Washington
player having his colors lowered by the
Philadelphia, the score being one up for
the visitor.
AS the different pairs arrived home many
Of the Washington players complained of
hard luck in the way Of stymies. On the
last hole for Messrs Horstman and Nc
Farland, the former made a splendid ap-
proach shot from a bad lay among the
trees to the left Of the hole. Mcfarland
then ran his bail to within six inches of
the hole and directly in Horstmans way,
and as a result the Philadelphia won out
by one up.
The next pair in showed a victory for A.
H. Smith over Tyler by 3 up. Then came
Messrs. Lanerty and Gallagher, the latter
winning by up.

of Philadelphia points by turning in score
of 2 up on w. P. Smith. Louis Weaver
continued the good work by reporting up
on Cooke.

A remarkable part Of the match has SO
far been that the victors this morning for
the locals were all Columbia Golf Club
members. the best Chevy Chase being able
to do was an even break between Ormsby
McCammon and J. P. Lineweaver
While this lead of ten points Is quite for
mldable, 1t may yet be overcome by good
playing on the part Of the Washington boys
this afternoon in the four-ball match, which
is really continuation Of this mornings
play. Last year the Quakers had ire
mendous lead in the morning match. but
in the afternoon the Washington players
recovered their true form and came very
near to winning out.
