on THE FIRST ROGSg
Spring Tourney Of Columbia
Golf Club.

The heavy rain of last night, continued
with the murky. threatening weather to-
day, must have frightened many OF the
local golfers. as the field that started in
qualifying round of the annual spring tour
ney of the Columbia Golf Club this morn
ing was not up to the usual strength. both
in size and playing ability. The best play
ers OF the local clubs are taking part. but
only three outsiders OF known ability are
among the entries This fact Is due to
the many tournaments being held around
New York and Philadelphia and in New
Jersey, and the results of the present tour
ney will probably furnish good contests
between the old rivals. Chevy Chase and Co
lumbia, for the many beautiful prizes hung
up this spring by the Columbia Club. The
prizes. which are mostly of handsomely
chased silver. embrace cups, plates, brushes
and clocks, any one of which will be OF
untold value to the fortunate winner.
Course in Fine Condition.
Columbia's beautiful and picturesque
course was never in better condition, Pro-
fessional Waters being authority for the
statement that the greens are like billiard
tables, last nights rain improving instead
of hurting them. Mr.. Waters also said that
he expected to see many low scores today.
j.. H. Hiss, F. l.. Small and T. M. Sher-
man are the visiting players, and class
high. The first is from Baltimore and he
expected to have several companions from
the Baltimore Country Club. but most of
the golfers over there are waiting for the
big affair at Wilmington in the latter part
of this month.
Mr.. Small a couple years ago carried
away an armful of prizes for Chevy Chase,
and his work today will be watched with
interest. Mr.. Sherman lis the third visitor,
and his work in the recent professional
tourney of the Columbia Club was of the
sensational order. He Is in splendid form,
and many pick him for the finals Satur-
day.
Todays program is the qualifying round
OF 80 holes, the first and second sixteen
best scores being divided up into groups
or the result for match play tomorrow.
Saturday the semi-finals and finals, with
the big popular handicap, will be played.
