GOLF MATCH OF VETERANS
A Victory for Chevy Chase on the Co.
lumbia Club Links

An interesting golf match was PLAYED on
the links of the Columbia Golf Club YES
'eraay afternoon between veteran teams of
the Chevy Chase Club and the Columbia
Golf Club, and resulted in a victory for
Chevy Chase by a score of ) to 3, the match
between each pair counting one point. The
return match will be played on the links
of the Chevy Chase Club next Saturday
afternoon. The match yesterday afternoon
was particularly interesting, because two
distinguished justices were pitted against
each other, and the final result depended
upon whether Mr.. Justice Harlan could
defeat Mr.. Justice Barnard. The scores of
all the other contestants had been turned i'm
and it became known about the club house
that if Justice Barnard should prove victor
the match would be all even. But when
the two distinguished players stroled to-
ward the club house the broad smile on the
face of the Supreme Court justice showed
conclusively that he had won, and il be-
came all the broader when he learned that
his victory meant Chevy Chase victory.
Following is the score:

The Chevy Chase hounds are about as
famous pack of fox dogs as be found
in this country and it has taken years of
work to gather the bunch it stands to-
day. They were first gotten together in
the winter of 1899 by Mr.. s. S. Rowland
of the Washington Jockey Club, Mr.. Her
bert, Col. Emmons, Col Simons of the New
York state canal commission, Mr.. Rozier
Dulaney and a number of other gentlemen,

of the games with the Boston Nationals last
Monday. There was a runner first when

first master of the hounds, Mr. Rowland

NATIONALS SHUT OUT
New Yorks Score Second Vic
tory in Pitchers Battle.

The second contest between the Nationals
and New Yorks, played yesterday afternoon,
was no more satisfactory than that of the
opening day as the visitors were again vic
torious by the score of 4 to 0. Only eight
innings were played on account of dark
ness.
The cold wave from the west, with its ac-
companying dark clouds, struck the park
about the time the game started, and the
contest throughout was played in semi
darkness Notwithstanding these unfavor-
able conditions for outdoor sport over 1900
spectators passed through the gates jam
med the beach and crowded back of the
ropes IN right field. 1t was d very partisan
gathering, and when several decisions by
Umpire Connolly were not to its liking the
air resounded with yells of protest, Kisses
and groans. The semi darkness may have
made Mr.. Connolly lose strike or two on
Hughes, but his base decisions We're cor
rect in every instance.
There almost entire absence of
brilliant plays on account of the fine pitch
ing of both twirlers, a double play by Cas-
sdy. Stahl and Hill being the only feature
of the contest
Ex-senator Albert Edward Orth was on
the rubber for the New Yorks and the
clever twirler used about three curve balls
during the afternoon, relying entirely upon
change of pace, at which he is a past
master. Ortiz has been known as the
'curveless wonder" almost since his intro
duction into professional base ball and his
right TO the title was never more forcbly
illustrated than his work against the Ma
tionals yesterday afternoon
lie had almost perfect control. allowing
put one base on balls and in addition struck
out five batsmen. In the eighth inning Orth
met with an accident that will keep him out
of the game for two weeks at least Jones'
who was at the bat, drove a sizzling liner
right at the Virginia boy and he tried to
block the balls progress. with the result
that the sphere forced its way through his
hands. splitting the skin for the length OF
an inch or more between the first and sec
ond finger of his pitching hand. The blood
covered the hand Instantly and he retired
from the diamond for repairs, Powell taking
his place.

moved both runners up base, to the glad
acclaim of the spectators, who thought they
saw a possible victory, as the big twirler
had not time to warm up before starting
work But Powell kept the ball over the
plate, and on the third pitch Hill sent up
high foul back of the plate which Kleinow
froze on to, and then Umpire Connolly stop
ped further proceedings by calling the game
Long Tom Hughes also pitched a good
game, but it looked poor in comparison with
Orths work on account of five bases on
balls, which were responsible for two of the
four scored by the Highlanders. In
the last four innings, after all the damage
had been done, Hughes struck his right gait
and the New Workers went out almost in
the order of going to the plate. By
strange development of batting the first four
men on New York's list got all the hits off
Hughes, the last five not connecting safely
al all with his curves.
The felders on both sides took care of al
most everything coming their way, the first
baseman of both teams having each two en-
rors charged against them. The four err
rors recorded We're on apparently easy
chances and were ascribed TO the dim light,
which made ii almost impossible to gauge
the speed of the thrown balls. The bleach
crowd started to censure Stahl at first,
but when they saw Chase made the same
sort of plays everybody quickly closed up
like clam.
