Yesterdays match began promptly at the
hour set o'ciock-but a mshap to Mr.
| DaizeHs automobile prevented the las.
| ihree pairs getting away from the home
tee before $3.50. Messrs. DaIzeii. Mccain
mon and Harrison had taken luncheon at
| the Chevy Chase Club, and then IN a hurry
| up run from there 10 the Columbia home a
| belt broke. and It was some time before ,ha
machine got under way again. The Column

| forfeits when the tardy PLAYERS reDorted al

| forfeits might Just well have been taken.
| as every one of the trio went down 10 de-

| Messrs Leslie and Parker were tho fret

followed at regular intervals by about ten
OF the pairs, the others getting away in
| struggling order. 1t was a noteworthy In

4 the first fifteen pairs to get away were
| faulty In their drives at the initial tee the
| ball going into the bunker or being sliced
| off to the right into the tall grass. The big
crowd of onlookers perhaps was responsible
| for the erratic work, as the players all went
well on the second tee.
Mr.. Thompson was exceptionally cheerful
| over the fact that he had thrown down his
| old opponent, Mr.. Mattingly while Messrs.
| Brttin, Reyburn, Peter and Finley also
showed their citation on being the remaining

Match of the Captains.
The chief interest conferred OF course. In
/ the match between the two captains. Messrs.
| Harlan and McCammon. and those enthusi-
| asts of the game who were not playing Joined
! with the reporters in following the pair over
| the course. Harlan can be said to have
| played one of his best games and as he
| found his opponent off his stroke. the result
| was disastrous defeat for McCammon. The
| Columbia captain won his match in fifty
| strokes for twelve holes. which was exactly
| one over par. which was certainly going
| some" the final result being up and to
| play. McCammon frequently topped his
| ball. either In driving approaching. and
| when he went along at his best and pulled
| off two sensational puts of fifteen yards
each. he found his opponent right on his
| heels with a half.
Both players got away well from the lni-
| tial tee with good drives, but Harlan laid
| McCammon a perfect stymie on the green
| and the hole In four. On the second

| going hardly fifteen yards, but he made a
| beautiful recovery and both took five to go
down. The third hole was Harban's as he
| ran down nice eight-foot putt both driv-
| ing and approaching well. Both went well
ON the fourth and each took q five. half
1 over par On the fifth hole McCammon
| again topped his ball, the little white sphere
| rolling into the deep gulch, but he again
| got out splendidly, only to lose Harlan
| covered the distance in three. exactly par. f.
| Harlan then made his first poor drive on

right in the tall grass, the lie being under
| tree and hard to get out. But the doctor
played his stroke safely, the ball rolling well
| up, and he went down In four (par), while
| his opponent took FIVE. McCammon lost
| chance of halying this hole in trying for a !
six-foot putt. the ball going over the hole
again far.
On the seventh hole both players drove
| well, but McCammon once more topped his
approach shot, On the third shot he got
| to the edge of the green and then saved
himself with a sensational putt of at least
| eighteen feet. the hole being halved in par.
| The feature of the eighth hole was a fine
| approach by Harlan, who went down in a,
/ a half under par.
Ragged Playing by Both.
| On the ninth hole ragged playing
was INDUCED in by both, McCammon pull

eight holes to play. On the next hole both
men played sensatonally. Mecaminon's
| drive went into the bank of the roadway.
but his recovery was of the phenomenal
order, and he again went down with a
12-yard putt. Mr.. Harbans drive per-
| lection itself, and he also approached cor
rectly, his nice putt of six feet enabling
him to halve the hole In 3, one under par.
