For Chevy Chase Golf Tour

ON THE LINKS TODAY
EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE ENTRY
LIST FOR HANDICAP.
Results of the Morning Play for the
Different Cups - Some
Good Work.

The cold northwest wind that blew over
the golf course OF the Chevy Chase Club
this morning was quite a formidable ham
dicap to the players In both the match and
handicap contests in the closing day of the
fall tourney. Everybody mad to dress
warmly. which prevented absolute freedom
OF action in driving and approaching, and
once the little white ball was hit it was ex-
ceedingly difficult to calculate the carry
ing distance in going with or against the
wind. AS a result 1t is not expected that
very low scores will develop during the
days play.
There is an exceptionally large entry list
for the popular handicap, although several
cards will be held out on account of large
scores, and others may be frightened away
by the cold and blustery weather. The list
of strangers from out-of-town clubs totals
up twenty-one, while Columbia has thirty
eight, Washington five and the home organ
ization is represented by ffty-one, making
a grand total of one hundred and fifteen.
Commissioner West and Mr.. Rudolph
Kaufman opened the days sport by teeng
Off in the handicap class, as early as Q
o'clock, but the high wind must have play
ed havoc with their drives and approaches,
as neither would turn in their cards. Other
golfers in the many matches and handicap
play were prompt IN following the lead or
Messrs. West and Kaufman, and the
beautiful course was soon dotted with in
tereSted players.
The weather. doubt. kept away spec
tors to the sport this morning, but what
galleries there were kept in touch with the
players In the first sixteen, Messrs. DalZell
and Brooke and Harlan and Mattingly.
Every member of this quartet is at the
top of his game and the two matches
were of the ding dopg variety.
The Goddess of Luck took turns smiling
on Messrs Dalzell and Brooke. The former
was one down when the fifteenth hole was
reached, but he holed out from a distance
of $50 feet, the ball hitting the marker
pole and then falling into the pan, making
the match all even. This piece Of luck un-
settled Brooke and the sixteenth hole went
to Dalzell, as the former missed short
putt. On the seventeenth hole DalZell
pulled his drive almost into the woods on
the right, played safely in getting out, but
Brooke went at par rate all the way and
captured the hole again, making it all
even.
Both did the eighteenth in four strokes
and then went back to the first tee. On
their nineteenth hole both got fair drives
but Brooke dug up the earth with his mid
iron and was short. He got to the edge of
the green in three and saved himself with
a sensational putt, covering the pan in par
four, and Dalzell did the same.
On the twentieth hole both players again
kept together and halyed. the playing be-
ing OF high order. On the twenty-first
potn drove ana approached nicely, Dalzell
covering the hole in four, while Brooke
missed his putt by a hair and lost the
match. AT the finish everybody around the
club and eaddy house turned out and the
victory was a very popular one.
