FOR EVENING STAR CUP

The good luck of the local golfers con-
tinued today in the matter of splendid
weather for their sport, the conditions
being well-nigh perfect when the Chevy
Chase and Columbia teams assembled at
the course of the Washington Golf Club,
on Rosslyn Heights. Va. for the final
game of the season for The Evening Star
cup.
The interest In these matches has in
creased to such an extent that they are
now discussed above everything else In
local golfing circles. The first season The
Evening Star cup was put up the Chevy
Chase team won with comparative ease
After that the Columbia Golf Club took
tremendous brace in playing ability, and its
team captured the trophy two seasons

provement was noted in the Chevy Chase
players, and they secured the first leg on
the trophy this season by defeating Column
bia Then came the struggle last Tuesday
a week ago on the Columbia course, when
the home team ran away from the Chevy
Chase players. making tie on the season,
which resulted in the match today at the
Washington Golf Club being agreed upon.
The Washington course covers only nine
holes. and for this reason several of the
members suggested playing on the Balti-
more Country Club course, but the difficulty
of getting away from business engagements
would have taken players out of both
teams and for this reason 1t was decided TO
play at Rosslyn Heights. The Baltimore
Country Club was quick to appreciate the
interest in the matches and in placing its
beautiful course at the disposal of the two
teams, a practical demonstration OF the
true golfing spirit.
The course OF the Washington club is one
of the most Beautifully situated in the
country and every one of the nine holes be-
long in the sporty class. Several are just
long enough to bring out all the strength In

that require unusual precision and dizziness

The greens almost perfect and a great
deal of sensational putting should crop up
this afternoon.
Figuring out the paying ability of the
Two teams on past matches and individual
work the Chevy Chase aggregation looks to
be the best by about seven points, but the
sensational manner in which Columbia won
the last contest knocks the calculations OF
the expert; awry. That match was won by
wonderful putting on the tricky greens or
the Columbia course, and as the washington
greens are very much like those at Chevy
Chase the latter team figures out the best
in today s contest. Should Chevy Chase win
today it will make two wins for each club
and the permanent possession OF Ihe
Evening Star cup would have to go over I'M
