Many Well-Contested Matches.


Contrary to general expectation, ma
jority of the matches were we'll contested,
three requiring extra holes before a decision
was reached. and the others being won by
small margins In the morning play the
Chevy Chase players had the honor of win
ming all three matches scored against the
Quakcrs, while in the afternoon the honors
were split up, two going to Chevy Chase
and two to Columbia. In the morning
play Messrs. Tuckerman, Reyburn, Lewis,
Britton, McCammon and Gray carried off
the wreath of glory for the local team, and
in the afternoon Messrs Tuckerman, LAT
ferty. Mattingly and Noyes were the bright
particular stars.
For the visitors Mr.. II. w. Perrin ap
pcared to carry off the honors, with Messrs.
Tulinghast Mcfarland and Crump close up
Mr. Perrin enjoys the reputation of being
one of the best golfers of the country at
approa aching, and from the way he handled
his iron clubs throughout yesterdays play
this reputa ton is not misnoner. In COW
ering the thirty-six holes for the day, Mr.
Perrin did not make an approach shot that
was not deadly in It's accuracy, and on the
greens he was almost as good with the
putter. Messrs. Tillinghast, Mcfarland
and Crump won their matches but their
play did not class up with that Of Mr.. Per
rim.
The Ellis-Tillinghast Match
The most interesting match Of the after
noon was that between Mr.. Ellis and Mr..
Ti!linghast the play running UP to twenty
two holes before the Quaker player won out
by one up. Mr.. Tiliinshast has been play
ing over the southern courses during the
winter and has won many trophies, while
the local man is comparatively young
p,.ycr When this pair started out it
seemed to be the general opinion of every
| hOlV around the club house that the match
! would be easy sailing for Mr.. 11iiinsh hast,
[ but Mr.. Ellis hung on like grim death, and
il required an almost perfect drive on the
| twenty second hole by the former to put
the latter away. Although the play of both
! was not of a high class, the bulldog tenac-
/ ity of the local man attracted attention.
/ After being all even on the home hole. the
PLAYERS went over TO the first hole again
/ and started out to settle the tie-up.
Both made good drives and approached
nicely, but Mr.. Ellis trimmed the hole and
| both went down in four. On the second, or
twentieth. hole of the match. Mr.. Ellis
I nulled his drive over into the grass for a
! bad lie but lie got out nicely, and as Mr..
! TI.inghast missed a short putt the hole was
! halved in five. On the twentyfirst hole
| MIR Ellis once more pulled his drive to the
! right of the course for bad lie. but as
/ before he got out nicely with an iron shot,
1 and by a good shot on the green managed
! to naive it with Mr.. Tillinghast.
Then came the twenty-second and fina!
! hole. Mr.. Tilinghast led off with an al
most perfect drive. landing the bail within
| three yards of the hole, while Mr.. Ellis
| sliced 20 the right and the best he could
/ do was a four. while the visiting player
went down in three Mr. Tillinghast was
congratulate him on the strong game put
up. Their cards were as follows:
