Presidents Golf.
From The Tribune Bureau. 7

Washington May l2-'The President is a golf
player of far than average ability. He has
no serious faults to overcome, and with constant
practice would become feared opponent of the
best men in the country / expect that before he
leaves Washington for the summer he will be able
to go over the Chevy Chase course In cighty-hv
strokes" This the opinion of Walter j.
Travis. who has held the amateur championship
title this country and Great Britain, at the con-
clusion of the 1s-hoe foursome which he played
with the President this afternoon, IN company with
General Clarence r. Edwards, E. Oden Horstman
one of the strongest players of the Chevy Chase
club and Captain Archibald Butt, his aid.
Mr.. Horstman started with General Edwards as
the opponents of the President and the ex-cham-

Gently by a fall from his horse he compelled

The President and his partner won by up. Mr.
Taft's card was TUNED in, but 1t is understood
that he made the in less than 100 while his
comT Inion showed excellent form and aided ma
terialy in the victory by doing the eighteen htles

90, while the combined card of Mr.. Horstman and
Captain Butt showed s4 strokes.
The match without spectacular incidents. and
followed by only few chosen observers, eX-
cept at the last green. where large gallery had
gathered the finish. At this hole the Presi-
dent did himself proud. After carefully swinging
his club a few times he hit the ball A resounding
whack. and made of the longest drives Of the
day. The ball rolled far that he had chance
to make the hole IN three, but ne oNerran MS ap-
proach put. This forced him 10 make several more
tries. and prompted Mr.. Travis to remark: He
is better at driving than at putting
Secret Service men hand to see that the
game was not disturbed by the gallery. but the
officials of the Chevy Chase club had so arranged
things that the match was played with practically
no onIookers up to the last hole. The President s
last drive excited the admiration Of the gallery, and
a cheer greeted the shot.
It is understood that Mr.. Taft feels so much en-
couraged by his play to-day that he will practise
more assiduously in the future.
