Entries for the Handicap
Tomorrow.
The high wind and threatening weather
this morning did not interfere with the
progress of the spring tournament of the
Columbia Golf Club. The wind made long
drives somewhat difficult and problemat-
ical, although the players in today's con-
tests are so we'll seasoned that their long
game was most remarkable in view OF the
adverse conditions. The fine condition OF
the greens made putting comparatively
easy.
This fact was notably in evidence when
DR.. Lee L. Harlan. the club champion, and
his opponent, Mr.. Samuel Dalzell, halved
the second hole in three. Both made beau
tiful drives. Their approach shots brought
both balls within putting distance. Mr.
Dalzels ball was about six feet to the
right Of the cup, while DR.. Harban's sphere
had rested about ten feet above.
Mr.. Da!zell made the first put, his third
shot. The little white ball rolled straight
as die from his iron and spectators from
the club house saw it disappear amid cries
OF down" 1t was now DR.. Harban's shot
and the best he could hope for was to halve
the hole.
The onlookers hardly believed he would
do so we'll. One feature Of this players
game, however. is that he does not know
when he is defea ted. He carefully meas
ured with his eye the distance from ball TO
cup, and then another ball made a dart for
the cup. When 1t disappeared there was
loud shout from the club house that easily
carried to the players several hundred
yards away. The third hole brought the
players back to the club house. and both
were congratulated on their good form
Dr. Harlan, who had taken the first hole,
also took the third in four. Mr.. Dalzell
had evened matters up at the sixth hole,
but DR.. Harlan won the seventh ana was vas
one up as the players proceeded to the
more distant greens. DR.. Harlan was on
his mettle throughout.
First Round Of Match Play.
Play this morning was in the first round
of match play for the club cup and three
other prizes. The qualification round play
ed yesterday divided the contestants into
two classes, known as the first sixteen and

play a second round this afternoon, when
the winning players In each division will
be reduced to four. Tomorrow morning

afternoon the finals Will be played In Hrst
and second SiXteenS.
Tomorrow the handicap play, always one
Of the most interesting and closely con-
tested events of golf tournament, Will De
in order. Players in the semi-tnais ana
finals of the match play will not be barred
from the handicap, as they will keep their
stroke score in playing for holes. This Will
hold good for the handicap competition.
Weather conditions were not such as to
attract a large gallery this morning, but

club house verandas. but followed over the
