ATHLETICS AT LUNA PARK.
Prospects of Successful Meet Next
SATURDAY..

In order to allow the Baltimore athletes
an opportunity to get in their entries the
management of the handicap field and track
meet to be held at Luna Park next Satur-
day, under the auspices of the Washington
Athletic Club, has decided not to close the
entry lists until Wednesday evening.
Blanks were distributed to all the visit
ing athletes at Benning yesterday and
promises were received from nearly all
these men that they would be here to COM
pete on Saturday. Many of the local clubs,
colleges and schools have assured the pro-
motors that they will participate, so the in
dcations are that the games will be a big
success.
The new athletic oval at Luna Park has
been completed. The track will be nearly
quarter of mile to the lap. Samples
of the gold, silver and bronze medals that
will be awarded were received here yes
terday and they compare favorably with
any of the medals that have been offered
at outdoor meets In this vicinity in years.

usually interesting and each victor had to
play almost par golf to win out. Mr.. Sher-
mans match with DIR. Harlan was a nota-
bic struggle. and but for the heat the
chances are that the local man would have
come or best. This was demonstrated In
the play. In going out the doctor was
much the better. both IN the leng and
short game, but he seemed TO tire at the
turn for home. Two perfect styrnies were
also laid the doctor on the outward jour-
ney, the luck OF the game, and but for
these he would have been four to the good
at the turn But heat and sun had no eff
feet on Mr. Sherman, for he apparently
thrived on it. and IA his opponent went off

The heat of the morning and the fact
that several unusually low scores were
turned In prevented a big list of names
from being on the blackboard for the han
dicap. Many more participated than pub
lished below. but numerous cards were torn
up when 1t was seen that there was no
chance of winning. A good rule in this re-
spect is to hold back the scores and not
post them until late In the day. The win
ners in the handicap turned UP in G. T.
Smallwood of the Columbia 6solf Club. who
turned in a net 20. and Mr.. Sherman, whose
score in match play, rs. was low enough to
give him the gross score honors.

The annual spring tournament of the Co.
lumbia Golf Club was brought to a close
last evening, after three days of very In
teresting play, the home club capturing six
prizes, the Chevy Chase club five. and
three going to out-of-town players. The
chief prize Of the tournament went to Mr..
T. NJ. Sherman of the Sadaquada Golf Club,
New York, and he also won the trophy for
the best gross score In the handicap, Mr..
r. d. Dalzell OF the Pittsburg Golf Club
being the other outside winner, he won
the final In the second consolation group.
The play yesterday started in the most
depressing atmosphere, the sun shining
with unusual brilliancy, while there was
almost total absence of breeze. These
conditions were broken at noon, when
cooling thunder storm came up. and the
final rounds in the afternoon were played
under favorable surroundings. Many good
scores were turned in, and majority OF
the matches were hotly contested all the
way.
Finals for the Club Cup.
The chief match of the day developed in
the finals for the club cup. Mr.. T. M. Sher-
man, a son of Representative Sherman. and
Mr.. Samuel DaIzell. also son of a member
of the House. being the contestants, the
frst-named player. under the colors of the
Sadaauada Golf Club, while the latter rep
resented Chevy Chase. Both players mad
worked down in the finals through hard
matches Mr.. Sherman beating DR.. Harlan
and Mr.. Dalzeu defeating Mr.. Small in the
morning round, and a result both were
pretty well tagged out when the final con-
test began. These conditions were shown
in the first two holes, but the New Yorker
was first to catch his true stroke and
thereafter 1t was easy sailing for him, the
final score being up and 8 to play. Mr..
Shermans youth stood him in good stead,
being mere boy but he also demonstrated
that he has been carefgully coached and
looks to be one of the most finished golfers
seen in this vicinity for several years. His
specially is the short game, and Il seemed
that he approached and putted with deadly
accuracy on every hole. In driving it was
about an even break between Sherman and
Dalzell. although the latter sent the little
white bali the farthest in several instances.
Accompanied by Many.
The pair started out shortly after
o'clock. and they were accompanied by
gallery that numbered fully 200 The big
crowd somewhat fiustered Sherman, and the

Jupiter Pluvius Called the Game.

More home runs were scored in the Sec
ond inning Of yesterdays game on the
White Lot than have ever been seen there
before, even in the palmiest days OF the
famous Nationals. The hot sun that fol-
lowed the shower in the early afternoon
a game was looked forward to. The usual
crowd assembled and when Umpire Ven
able called play the prospect was rosy:
Both teams got two on bases In the initial
inning, but fine twirling by Ffnegan and
Haring prevented any damage. In the sec
ond inning anxious eyes began to gaze fear
fully to the southeast and everybody stir
red uneasily. No one knew just how II
happened, but II came with a rush and
roar that sent shiyers down the back OF
the timid, and there was one wild. mad
scamper for shelter. 1t Is not yet known
whether Umpire Venable called game. no
one waiting to see. The aged and honorable
Jupiter Pluvius held full sway and his de-
cision was undisputed.
