Annual Fall Tournament
Now On.
WEATHER THE FINEST
BEAUTIFUL COURSE IN EXCEL
LENT SHAPE.
Greens in Almost Perfect Condition
Putting Of Risky Sort
Some Scores.

Chevy Chase Club started this morning un-
der favorable conditions The weather was
of the "made-to-order" variety and the list
OF players large. The rain of last night
was just light enough to help the beautiful
| course. the green especially needing water
on account of the prolonged dry spell 1t
Is seldom, indeed. that the Chevy Chase
green's are not almost perfect, but work as
diligently as he could Professional Douglas
failed to remove all the rough edges. and
the putting this morning was of the risky
sort The green's were the only part of the
couorse open to criticism, everything else
being in splendid shape for fast play
The District players turned out WELL but
there was a lamentable lack of class in
the entries from out of town. Chevy Chase
was represented by twenty nine golfers,
Columbia by twenty-five and Washington
by three. On form, as figured out by an
expert, DR.. Lee Harlan should have little
trouble I'm garnering rich crop of PRICES,
and. as he was on the top of his game this
morning, there Is little chance of the
dope" going wrong.
The green's committee worked over the
pairings for the qualiticat ton round last
night until a late hour, and considerable
of the labor was thrown away on account
OF many laggards. Early arrivals at the
cozy club house selected partners almost
at VIII and set out over the course so that
the tardy ones had something of scram-
BILE to find companions when they finally
decided to play.
First Couple OFF.
E. d. Carust. Columbia Club. and A. Win
ter washington Club. were the first cou-
pie to tee off promptly at 10 o'clock. and
the other pairs got away fairly fast there
after.
Last spring the qualifying round was e,,t
/ GOWN To lS hOleS. but IL to b<,
unsatisfactory. and this fall the old round
OF 80 holes was again taken up. Tomorrow
the match play starts, and Saturday the
semi-finals and finals. In addition to the
match play Saturday there will be the.
popular handicap for those who can play
for but day. and from present indiea-
tons the wind-up will be a very largo
| affair.
Although not down on the program a
most interesting private match Is being
pulled off today by Commissioner West of
the Columbia Club and Benjamin Miller of
Chevy Chase. paired in the qualification
round. Both these gentlemen are at the top
| OF their game and have been playing so
close together that the winner is hard to
PICK cub spirit is running somewhat high
over this match, and golf balls and other
implements of the sport have been wagered
lavishly on the outcome. In the first round
commissioner West won out by 2 holes and
d strikes, but Mr.. Miller says he is confident
OF redeening himself In the last round of
Is holes this afternoon
The prizes this fall are especially hand
some, the committee having the matter in
charge showing marked good taste in pick
ing out the silver and cut-glass trophies
to commemorate the occasion Silver cups
pitchers, tobacco and cigar boxes, all beau
tifu!ly engraved and chased. are among the
prizes.
Absence Of Slicing.
A remarkable fact IN connection with the
teeing off this morning was the total alb
sence of slicing or pulling in the drives.
There were one or two toppers," but
everybody appeared to be on edge and
drove off true and straight to good lines
The gallery was large one. and, as usual.
the styles Of driving of the players were
commented on from every angle.
AS the different pairs reported at the
clubhouse after the first round for luncheon
! many tales were told of the elusive greens
and puts that should have been made
High scores were the general rule of the
morning round, but the chances are that all
scores will be improved upon considerably
| in the afternoon play.
