'TRAVERS AMONG STARTERS
By "CLEEK.

SURPRISING all expectations in the mat
ter of entries. the Columbia Country
Club golf tourney which started this
morning bids fair to be the most bril-
liant event on the links that has ever
been staged on a local course. With
seventeen entries appearing at the last
minute, the total number of golfers to
compete is 169.
Barely had the sun touched the frost
covered Maryland hills this morning
when the first pair teed of, officially
opening the tournament. They started
at 7:55 a m. and at intervals of five min
utes a new pair appeared to start their
first round. Weather conditions were
ideal for the beginning of the tourna-
mt and as early as o'clock huge
gallery had appeared to see their Ia
yorites work their way over the course.
Promptly at 10 o'clock, jerome D. TraT-
ers, Of Upper Montclair, four times
winner of the open amateur champion
ship, and victor over Francis Ouimet,
the open champion, in the amateur
struggle at Garden City this year, teed
eff. One of the largest galleries that
has ever assembled to witness the open
ing stroke Of golf champion here had
assembled by that time to see the crack
golfer start his opening round: Later
Philadelphia crack: G. B. Adams, of the
National Golf Club; w. Fl. Follett, of
England: Adrian c. Anson. the famous
baseball player Of other days; w. e.
Ballantyne, South Atlantic titleholder.
and such other notables as Allan Lard,
Walcott Tuckernan, Eddie Brookes,
and Eddie Eynon.
Each of the local clubs have number
of representatives in the affair, while
the crack golfers of Baltimore, Whining
ton, Philadelphia, and other Aotrhern
cities will more than likely be present.
The winner of the tournament will be
the first to have his name placed upon
the handsome Wardman cup. This tro-
ply, valued at 81 900, was presented to
the Columbia Country Club by Harry
Wardman, the wellknown builder. The
cup remains permanently in the club
house. but the tournament winner in ad-
dition to having his name engraved on
1t, will receive a replica OF the beauu-
full trophy.
