attracted the most attention, as the latter
played unusually brilliantly yesterday. and

of lowering the coiors OF the Columbia
crack. But from the way Dalzell began

the doctor. Both drove we'll from the in
itial tee, but approached short. On the
third shot DR.. Harlan laid DalzeIl a.
stymie and won the hole in four strokes
Dalzell then tried for the hole second

four.
On the second hole the doctor made a
good drive. but Dalzell hooked the ball

handicaps. there not being a scratch man.
DIR. Lee Harlan was given five strokes and

way. The handicaps ran up to twenty, a
majority of the players expressing gratifi-

everybody had chance to win out with
good play.
Before the tournament opened the experts
