ing Were Pleasing-Pairs An
nounced for This Afternoon.

ALMOST perfect weather was In eV.QenCe
this morning when the golfers gathered at
the Columbia Golf Club course for the first
round Of match play and second day OF the
annual fall tournament. The strong wind
that blew yesterday was hardly perceived.
gentle breeze from the west being strong
enough to ripple the leaves on the trees.
The air was crisp and the snn just warm
enough to make the great outdoor sport
pleasure. The players were quick to APP
preciate the fine conditions and everybody
| started out in excellent spirits.
The Green committee met last evening as
| soon the qualification scores were all in
| and paired off the players as follows for

A Deplorable Mistake.
There was quite a deplorable mix up over
the cards of Messrs. Eynon and Duvall in
the qualification round yesterday. Mr.. Ely
mons score was so high that he thought he
would not be in the second sixteen, and told
| Mr.. Duvall that he had quit. The latter
knocked the formers ball off the green and
| then putted out himself. When it was dis
| covered later that Mr.. Eynon's score was
| low enough to get him in the second sixteen
| he went back to the green, replaced his
| ball and putted out.
| The proceedings were so irregular that
| there was nothing for the Green commit
| tee to do but disqualify Mr.. Eynon. MIR.
Duvall thought he was somewhat respon-
sible for the unfortunate situation, and
| when Mr.. Eynon was disqualified he de-
cided to default his match with Mr.. Ca
rusi and not play. All Of which teaches
the fact that no matter how your score
may be. hold on to it until the finish.
The match play this morning was started
promptly on schedule time, Messrs. Rap
ley and Pyle being the first away at 10
o'clock.
Some Interesting Matches.
On previous performances several Of the
| matches in the first sixteen should be very
close and exciting, the wlseacres picking
Messrs. Carnegie and w. 8. Harlan for a
great battle. The players are about even
in ability, but familiarity with the coarse
gives the latter slight advantage. Just
| how accurate this forecast was can be
CLEANED from the fact that the two We're
all even on the ninth hole.
Another good ma tch was that between w.
S. Brooke and DR.. Lee Harlan. The for
mer performed very brilliantly in approach
Ing and putting. and on the ninth hole had
the latter three down.
Commissioner West had an easy time de-
feating Mr.. Heaton, but the defeat of Mr..
Rapley knocked out all chances of a great
match, as the latter had builded on taking
"the mayor of the District into camp this
afternoon. At the close of the morning
round of match play the prophets around
the club house were picking Commissioner
West as the winner of the inconsolable or
third sixteen cup.
The entries for the handicap, which will
| be the feature of the play tomorrow, the
| last day of the tournament, are being made
| in such large numbers as to insure an in
teresting contest.
