CHEVY CHASE GOLFERS
Splendid Weather for Opening
Of Annual Spring Tourney.

DIR. L. L. Harlan MAKES BEST
SCORE OF FIRST ROUND.
Columbia Club Players Show Up Well,
McCammon Being Best Of
Home Group.
BIG GALLERY PRESENT

The annual spring golf tournament of the
Chevy Chase Club was inaugurated this
morning under the most favorable condt-
tons The weather was almost perfect,
the glazing sun being considered some
thing of a. handicap by the more expert
snced players. The entry list, while not
large, is exceptionally well balanced as to
playing strength, and the match contests
in the first and second rounds and the semi
finals and finals should be unusually close
Todays play is the qualification round OF
86 holes, the best thirty-two scores being
divided into two classes of sixteen, the first
to contest for the presidents cup, while the
second will play for the consolation cup.
Both trophies are handsome and well
worthy the best efforts of the contestants.
Then there are handsome prizes for the
runners-up In both events, and also for the
best scores in today's qualification round,
as well as for the big handicap Saturday.
The prizes grouped together make a hand
some picture, and collectively compare
favorably with any ever offered by the
club.
Improvement Of the Course.
It is a question whether the golf course
of the Chevy Chase club ever presented
a prettier sight than it did today. From
the initial tee to the final hole there ID not
to be found a bare unsightly spot, we'll
cropped grass covering the course. while
the woods and underbrush which border
the links at different points have been
cleared out so that the contrasting cOlors
of leaves blossoms and somber wood en-
nance the beauty of the picture. Profess
sional Douglas, who has charge or the
Chevy Chase golf course has done wonders
in the way of improvement during the
winter months, and the visiting players
this morning found almost an entirely new
course to go over.
Formerly the outward journey took the
player over 2, 100 yards, but at present the
distance is 291O Coming home the former
distance was 2717 yards, while now 1t Is
2757. Formerly boyle was IS, now 1t is II.
This increased distance has been quite even
ly distributed but four holes of the efgh-
teen remaining originally planned. These
holes are the fourth, fourteenth, sixteenth
ard eighteenth, and it was only the lay OF
the land that prevented Mr. Douglas from
adding several yards to each. The most
noticeable change has been made In the
second hole, which has been increased from
23T to 337 yards, a difference of hundred
yards. The other increases ARE from one
to twenty-five yards. Other improvements
have been the shifting of bunkers and haz-
pares favorably with the best In the coun-
try
The bright weather this morning served
to draw out an unusually large gallery,
many women being among the spectators.
A gallery in the morning Is something I'M
usual and it Is doubtful whether one OF
this mornings size has ever witnessed the

trict.

So many American goods are now
pouring into Canada that the manufac-
turers there are agitating for higher
tariff duties to keep out the cheap
American goods. A letter from Toronto
appears in the Iron Age of Feb. Is on
this subject On the steel rail- ques-
ton il says:
THE recent sales of American rails
in Canada at prices So to So below
those maintained in the United States
have been commented upon in many
Canadian newspapers. Were the pro
posed duty now in force il would not
suffice to save the home market for
home rail manufacturers. should there

things: The paramount issue with
