MORNINGS MATCHES

The participants in the Columbia Golf
| Club tourney were prompt in getting to the
| course this morning and play for the gov
+, ernors' and presidents cups started at 10
| o'clock, schedule time. Messrs. Thomas
and Lanston were the first to tee OFF in the
| presidents cup class, while Messrs. Dixon
| and Baldwin. the two Quakers,' were
| the leaders in play for the governors
| trophy.
| The weather continued fine. slight
breeze offsetting the warmth of the sun.
and enabled the properly costumed players
| to enjoy the sport to it's full extent The
same conditions of the ground prevailed
this morning as yesterday, the players
chief complaint being on the speed of the
green's and the course in general. Driven
balls that should have rolled yard or two
after hitting the ground were good for a
forty-yard roll. The same applies to the
approach shots, majority of the balls
going over the greens as the ivory balls
do billiard table.
The regulation pairing rules played havoc
with the mornings sport, as a majority or
the winners could be picked before the hrst
drive was made. This condition existed
only in the governors cup class the group
playing for the presidents cup being falriy
well mated for interesting play.
Discussing Yesterdays Tie.
The big club house porch held an en-
thusiastic group of golfers this morning,
prior to play and Billy Carnegie. as his
host of friends call him, was loudly praised
for his playing in the qualification round
yesterday.
The course was entirely strange to him
and the many formidable hazards that have
sent hundreds of golfers to the bow-wows,
had no terrors for the Allegheny man. IL
appeared as though DR.. Lee Harlan needed
the good PLAYING of Mr.. Carnegie in the
morning to inspire him in his play ana as
a result he went over the course IN the
afternoon in great shape, and the ne with
the St Andrews man followed. When the
tie will be played off had not been settled
this morning, but the indications are that
the two men will come together next Mon
day afternoon Both Messrs. Carnegie and
Harlan would like to play the match at 4
time not known to their friends, as both
are anxious to win the contest and don't
want to be bothered with large gallery
following in their wake.
The Carnegie-Gray Match.
About the best match of the morning, ac-
cording to expert representations. was
that between Messrs. Carnegie and Gray.
1t was the general belief that the st. An
drew's player would not be able to con-
tinue his sensational work of yesterday.
while DR.. Gray belongs to the steady class
that can generally be depended upon to
take full advantage of an opponents small

At the start of the match both made good
drives but Mr.. Carnegie's approach was
closer TO the hole and he went out in 4,
