FOR EVENING STAR CUP

The golf match for The Evening tSar
cup yesterday afternoon between teams
representing the Columbia and Chevy Chase
clubs, played on the course of the former
was most interesting contest, although
the Columbia players won by the one-sided
score of Is to 3. OF the eight matches
played Columbia won five and Chevy Chase
three. All the victories for Chevy Chase
were by single strokes, while Columbia had
two fours. two threes and a single
The weather was almost perfect, and
when the two teams gathered at the ini-
tfal tee to start the play it was noticed
that the home players were full of con-
fidence. The true golf spirit is rampant
around the Columbia club house, and the
members of the team knew that they were
under close observation, especially from
members who are anxious to get into the
first eight. One two of them have been
slovenly In their play of late, but the
prodding Of the new aspirants acted as
stimulant yesterday and the ones under
suspicion played brilliantly. At Chevy
Chase a different spirit appears to prevail,
several members of the team yesterday
complaining Of the lack of interest. With
the big membership, Chevy Chase should
put a great team of golfers in the field,
but at the present time it is a hard matter
to persuade eight of them to work out in
unison. Yesterdays defeat may be the
means of stirring them up to energetic
action.
DIR. Gray and Louis Weaver were the
first pair to tee Off the former getting
good drive while the latter sliced his ball
away around to the right. Weaver re-
covered well with an iron shot, but the
doctor captured the hole, as his good lie
gave him better chance to approach &C
curatey. From that time on to the finish
this pair kept close together, and at the
finish Dr. Gray was one up Messrs.
7 RrttOp the second cOllDle
off. the Columbia man getting beautiful
drive, while his opponent was somewhat
short.
Lee Harlan and Lafferty.
The third pair off were DIR. Lee Harlan
and Mr.. George Lafferty. the accredited
cracks of the two organizations. The latter
got fairly good drive, but the former
created something of sensation by driving
the ball within yard of the hole, distance
of about $50 yards, and going out in two.
The Columbia course has always been
something of Il ''hoodoo'' to Mr.. Lafferty,
and at this suspicious start for his opponent
the bad luck appeared to be working over
time The next pair to get away were
Messrs Morvin Thompson and Edward
Brooke, both making beautiful drives and
approach shots. This match proved to be
one of the most interesting of the after
noon, the Columbia man finally winning out
by stroke.
The fifth pair away were Messrs. Horst
mann and Davidson, the formers drive be-
ing somewhat short and to the left, while
the latter'S went straight and true the little
white ball rolling onto the green. The wise
ones around the home tee decided on an
easy victory for Mr.. Horstmann but he had
to play par golf to defeat Mr.. Davidson by
/ up.
When DR.. w. s. Harlan made short
drive against good long one by Mr.. Tuck
erman the sixth pair out, many of the on
lockers selected the latter as winner on
