for the qualification round on the opening
day was taken as a good omen by the CO.

dry weather. and last week was no ex-
ception to the rule. In match play DE-
Harlan did nothing that was extraor-
binary, simply played his weii-knoWn
steady game, and it proved considerably
better than his opponents. The Evening
star reporter watched several of DR.. Har-
bans matches, and while the finishes were
always close, 1t appeared as though ne
was playing with his opponent as cat
