SCORES TURNED IN

The annual fall golf tournament of the
Chevy Chase Club began this morning,
the conditions being all that could be
asked. The morning was cool and bracing
for the early starters, the absence of the
hot sun of the past few days being appre-
ciated. About all the enthusiastic golfer
asks for In playing his favorite game Is
that 1t will not rain and that the sun viii
not shine. Rain makes the going disagree
able, while the suns rays take all the vim
and energy out of the player. The condi-
tons asked for were present this morning,
but rain was threatening at any moment.
The field of starters in the qualification
round today was a good one, over sixty
having registered their names with the
Green committee, and although this num-
Der is not up to the lists of many former
tournaments, what Is lacking in numbers
is made up in quality.
The Chevy Chase Club was we'll repre-
sented, thirty-three members starting out
in the qualifying round, while the Column
bia Club sent over seventeen of its best
players. The Washington Golf Club had
only two entries. but several more players
from that organization will doubtless take
part in the handicap play Saturday.
From Out Of Town.
The out-of-town contingent is an es-
pecially good one, embracing eight golfers
who. form. should turn in good scores
for the first days play and work down in
the matches at least to the semi-finals. OF
this number Mr.. w. C. Carnegie of st. An
drews is the best known. as he has been q
frequent visitor to Chevy Chase in past
seasons and was always considered dam
gerous man when prizes were considered.
Mr.. o. Perrin of the Elkridge Club is an
other crack player well known on the local
course. The other visiting golfers are Mr.
w. NJ McCawley Of Merton Club, Mr.. w.
G. Carr of the Oakmont Club, Mr.. 8. w.
Doubleday Of the Apawamis Club. Mr.. W.
s. Brooke of Gordon Park, Mr.. w. ].
Evans of Equanok and Mr.. D. Charnley Of
Onwentsia.
The usual good-natured rivalry between
the Chevy Chase and Columbia clubs will
come to the front during the tournament.
as both organizations have out their best
players and the matches between the lead
ers will be watched with interest. After
making a sensational squirt the Columbia
players have gone off somewhat in their
work, while the Chevy Chase golfers have
regained their old form and are playing
better today than ever. Mr.. George Laf-
ferty. but recently returned from Hot
Springs, Va. Is in excellent form, while
Messrs. Horstman. McCammon and Gray
will doubtless give a good account of them
selves. Mr. Horstman only recently re-
turned from trip over the courses OF
England and Scotland. and the experience
has certainly improved his game.
For Columbia Mr.. Lee Harlan is, Of
course, the best and is in his usual splen,
did condition for play. while Messrs. Walter
Harlan, Brooke, Weaver. Davidson and
Britton can be depended upon to play good
golf All the players mentioned Of the
two organizations belong to the first team
in competition for the Evening Star Cup,
and the closing match of the season, next
Tuesday. on the Columbia course, is looked
forward to with great interest.
Opening the Tournament.
The first division Of players of the quail
flying round got away in good time this
morning. the first pair, Messrs. Tuckerman
and Doubleday, driving off from the initial
tee at exactly $50. A half dozen other
players followed. and then there was quite
a gap before the next pair started out.
The main body of players got under way
at 1920 and from then on. at regular two
minute intervals the players went out I'M
til the last couple drove of about IL 80.
The gallery was a small one. as usual,
as the opening on the first day is al
ways too early for the admirers of the
sport but the players were coming in
to the home green from the first round.
the group of interested spectators who
watched the play was quite large.
Drawings for Match Play.
At the meeting of the green committee
last night an effort was made to pair off
the players from the entry list, but so
many of them were backward in reporting
this morning that couples were mated and
sent away by Mr.. McCammon as quickly
possible.
Two rounds will have to be played to-
day for the qualifying test, and this
evening the drawings for match play
Will be made. Two classes for the club
and consolation cups will be formed, six
teen in each group, and tomorrow morn
ing the first matches will be started
After the mornings play those who have
been defeated will form themselves into
a second consolation group and play for
sweepstakes. This is an excellent idea,
as 1t Keeps the players at the course for
the final handicap play on Saturday.
The prizes offered this fall by the Chevy
Chase Club are exceptionally handsome
and varied, only two cups being among
the eight trophies hung up for the diff
ierent classes. The club and consolation
cups are massive affairs. being elabor-
ately decorated and engraved in the very
latest style. There are also two hand
some silver plates. silver cigar box. a
silver cigarette box and two TASKS pro-
fusely covered with silver.
