sociation yesterday afternoon from the
Country Club Of Virginia of Richmond

Chevy Chase Club and the second by the
Columbia Country Club in the afternoon
The scores were three matches to two al
both clubs. Each match counted one
point.
The CHEVY Chase Club had an easy
time winning its matches, the only close
one being between Rlves Fleming OF
Richmond and Z. NJ. Weaver of Chevy
Chase. which ended in favor of the Wis.,
itor at the eighteenth hole, by the score
of 1 up. The match see-sawed from
start to finish and showed both players
at their best, but it seemed that luck
went against Mr. Weaver at the last hole,
which cost him the match. Morven
Thompson and J. H. de Sibour. both con-
sidered by many to be two of the best
golfers at the Chevy Chase Club. won
their matches easily from F.. G. ID.
Mackay and j. w. Young. both of Rich
mond, by the score or up and ) to play
In each case.
The Chevy Chase team was greatly
handicapped by the loss of three Of its
best players. They were o. McCammon,
Walter and Walcott Tuckeman. Never

ing and deserve much credit for their
work, as the visitors are considered the
best in Richmond.

crowd and the players We're greatly
pleased with the fine condition the course

tested than those at the Chevy G .as'
Club in the morning. The feature match
