OF the Chevy Chase Club, survived the |
semi-finals of yesterdays play for the |
cup in the Middle Atlantic |
Golf Associations tournament or the |
Chevy Chase links.
The former sprang a surprise when he |
defeated II. NJ. Taylor, who was touted |
20 be the strongest man in the Whining
ton contingent. While Taylor was handi- |
capped 10 a certain extent by not being
as familiar with the course as his op-
ponent, Horstman deserves credit for
his signal victory in one Of the hardest
fought matches Of the day.
Another match which attracted atten-
ton among local followers OF the game,
and which was watched by q number
who followed the players over the course
despite the sweltering heat, was that be-
tween Charters and Dalzell, both mem
bers Of the Chevy Chase Club. They
were evenly matched and alternated in
obtaining the lead until Charters puIed
ahead on the home stretch, winning by
up and TO play.

Gray Meets Hiss.
The skirmish for the players cup will
be between w. NJ. Gray, OF Chevy Chase.
and j. H. Hiss, of Baltimore, a we'll
known player. who should have been
placed in the first sixteen had he been in
his usual form on the first day. F. L.
Garrett Of the home club, and A. Nc
George. the only Wilmington entrant to
capture a place in the semi-fnals, will
compete for the consolation trophy.
One OF the closest matches of yester-
day afternoons play was that between
y. c. Davidson and E 3. Eynon, both OF
the Columbia Club. The match was stub
bornly contested on every hole, and car
ried 10 the twentieth, where Davidson
won by l up.
Taylor displayed his true form in the
morning round against r. Weir another
Wilmington entrant. who put up a con-
sistent and steady game. He started out
by forging ahead Of his veteran club
mate and was Il down at the turn.
Taylor had evidently been toying with
his rival. and in a unique exhibition Of
turning the tables won his match by
up on the last hole.
Another feature of the morning; play
was the record set by J. c. Davidson. OF
Columbia, and 1. A. Savage. OF Balti-
more, when they halved each OF the first
eight holes. Neither had any advantage
until Davidson took the lead on the ninth.
