SPRING GOLF TOURNEY
PLAY BEGINS AT THE CoLUM-
BIA CLUB.

The first qualification round of the an
nual spring tournament Of the Columbia
Golf Club was begun upon the links or
that organization near Brightwood this
morning. Sixty entries had been received
and at 10 o'clock there was a representa-
tive contingent of local golfers and lib
eral sprinkling of visiting devotees OF the
links in attendance. On account OF the
rain of yesterday the links in spots were
soft" but this had but little effect upon
the golfing of some Of those who were
up on their game. The frightening or
the second hole by twenty-seven yards, a.
we'll as that of the third hole by twenty
yards. served to make the course much
better In the eyes of careful golfers. These
improvements. coupled with the changed
location OF the tee at the sixth hole af-
ford the contestants in tournament COM
petitions better facilities. The course as
now laid out practically meets the regula-
ton requirements for national COMPETE
tions.
The first golfers to start of were z. 3.
