ed Visitor-Many Handicaps.

The weather conditions this morning were
all that could be asked for when play
started on the final day of the Chevy Chase
fall golf tourney. The atmosphere was
just brisk enough to ginger UP the play
ers, and the northwest breeze was not
strong enough to be anything like a for
midatle handicap.
Although play started promptly at 10
o o'clock there was an unusually large gal
lery hand to witness the principal
matches for the three cups which were in
their senli-fnal stage this morning. AS a
result of the play yesterday afternoon the
struggle for the governors cup has mar
rowed down between the Chevy Chase and
Columbia Club players. AS can easily be
understood. this situation has created a
great deal of interest, and there was con-
siderable speculation on the outcome of the
match between McCammon and Brooke
and Mattingly and Seligmann.
The McCammon Brooke Match.
When the first-named pair started out
this morning there was gallery of fully
a half hundred. half of whom were ladies.
Both got good drives, but Brooke ran up
closer on the approach. and fine putt by

while McCammon had five. On the fourth
hole McCammon laid Brooke stymie on
making his second shot. and Brooke did
the same thing. with the result that it
was halved, as both had to play safe. On
the fifth hole trouble for both put in its
appearance, McCammon slicing off into the
grass on his drive, while Brooke kept him

1t could be seen from the seriousness of
the players faces that they were putting
forth their best efforts, and battle royal
resulted.
A Distinguished Visitor.
A distinguished visitor at the Chevy
Chase course this morning was Miss Mabel
Higgins, who but recently returned from
a trip over the western golf courses, where
her fine playing attracted attention. Miss
Higgins has the reputation Of being the
longest golf driver in this country. and III
the championship tournament at Chicago
finished as runner UP to the champion.
While going over the course this morning
Miss Higgins play was watched with great
markable in their accuracy and in the
distance covered.
Many Handicap Entries.
The entries for the handicap today have
been very large, the good weather this
morning probably bringing out the back
ward ones who like to do their golting I'M
der the most favorable conditions. Some
thing like hundred names were entered
on the big board by Clerk Nichols. and by
o'clock almost this number had turned In
their cards or were out Oh the course play
ing. The six couples engaged in match
play are allowed to turn in their scores
for handicap honors, and as a result the
play this morning was slow, as in many
cases the players took a second try at the
hole when stymies were laid.
Following are the results or the SEMI
finals this morning for the governors, the
consolation and second consolation cups:
