The Washington herald., 1911-10-29

Edward B. Eynon, jr., who has been
playing consistently good golf through
out the season, won the championship
cup of the Columbia Country Club
tournament, which came to a close yes
terday afternoon. In the morning
round Mr.. Eynon met DR.. L. Lee Har-
ban, who had led all his fellow-golfers
with the lowest score on Thursday on
the qualification round, but defeated
him rather easily by a score CT up
and to go. In the afternoon Mr.
Eynon met Samuel DalzeT, of the
Chevy Chase Club. and defeated him by
a score of to 2, thus winning the first
cup.
The fact that Mr. Dalzen reached the
position Of runner up in the first six
teen was one of the most interesting
features of the tournament On the
qualification day he was one of three
players who were tied for place in the
first sixteen, and he was fortunate
enough to win the position. He then
played three matches, each one OF
which he won by l up, and in the semi
finals yesterday morning he saved him.
self from defeat by winning from A. B.
Leet on the nineteenth hole. The good
fortune as we'll as his excellent golt
kept him in the running until the
finals, when, as already stated, he had
to be content with second place. His
match with Mr.. Eynon was interesting
throughout, though without any SEN
sational plays. Mr.. Eynon was the re-
cipient of many congratulations upon
his victory.
Columbia Men Fortunate.
The Columbia Country Club members,
as will be seen by a glance at the list
of prize winners, were fortunate enough
to secure nearly all the handsome
trophies offered, although the Chevy
Chase: washington Country, and Ban
nockburn clubs, of this city, and the
Baltimore Country Club were also rep
resented. Mr. Warren Cochran, Of the
latter organization, came over to play
IN the handicap yesterday, and although
playinK over the course for the first time,
made the round in So, which gave him
the prize for the best gross score. Mr.
John L. Warren, who captured the prize
for the best net score, is g. comparative
lv new player, and his victory was great
Iy appreciated.
The playing during the day attracted
quite a large crowd. but there were no
extraordinary happenings. In the second
sixteen, Mr.. Davidson was dormie one
at the seventeenth hole, and by halNlng
the last hole won his match. In the
II Mr.. Hendricks would be the winner, as
he had his opponent. M. Simpson, two
down and three to go a. the fifteen hole.
Mr. Simpson, however, won the last
three holes and this gave him the first
prize in his sixteen.
At the clubhouse last night a large
company of the members Joined in cele-
brating the successful outcome OF the
