HANDICAP GOLF At
THE COLUMBIA CLUB
Cox, CisseII, Wilbur Smith and
West in Semi-FinaIs of the
First Sixteen.

Yesterday afternoon saw the close of
the second round of the July" golf tour
nament at the Columbia Country Club,
and several good matches were on the
card. One of the closest matches played
was that in the first sixteen, in which r.
w. Cox defeated w NJ. Smith by up and
to play at fifty-four holes. The handi-
caps were arranged SO that Smith had to
start his opponent up. AS they were
even at the end of the first eighteen
holes, they started on second round, and
again Smith gained his two holes and
they were all even at the completion of
the round. Cox played little better on
his third round and was rewarded with
victory which puts him in the semi-fnals
Another close match was that between
Henry L. West, ex-Commissioner of the
District. and Edward b. Eynon. jr. The
latter had to give his opponent start of
Z up and managed to overtake him on
their, first round and end it all square, but
he could not do this yesterday, when he
played his second round and lost by 3 up
and to play. He was unfortunate in
losing the first two holes, which made
him 8 down. Later he won 10 down with
IL to play. He won the next five, but the
match ended when the next two We're
halved.
Probably the best match in the second
sixteen was that in which j. c. Let's TO
handicap defeated Dr. Paris E. Brengle
Q4) by / up. Brengle started 3 down and
was down all of the way. although he
threatened to even things up several
times. The first hole was halved. the
doctor running down a long putt from the
edge of the green for win on the second
Let's had lots of luck on the fourth. as
he drove out of bounds twice and missed
a stroke. and yet was able to win because
of poor work on the part of his opponent
At the turn Let's had increased his lead
to up, but Brengle made 1t up by talk
ing the tenth and eleventh. The twelfth
and thirteenth were halved, the players
dividing the next two and then Brengle
winning the sixteenth and making Let's
dormie. Brengle won the next and looked
to have a good chance to take the eight
zenith and halve the match. but a poor
shot allowed Let's to halve the hole for a
win.

AGGIES STILL WINNING.

first game, driving big Larry Edsness to

the first inning. but the Aggies came right
back at them in the third and evened up
the score. From then it was nip and tuck
until the tenth, when the Agg1es chased
three runs across. sewing up the game
The second game was close up to the fifth

BY n. C. BYRD.

The pennant races in the majority of
the amateur leagues are narrowing down
to a point where fairly accurate pre-
diction may be made as to the probable
winners. With the exception of two or
three circuits, the championship is prac-
tically decided in every instance.
The Capital City and Departmental
leagues are the two circuits playing a
through schedule which have not de-
veloped certain winner. In the first
mentioned. the Cornell and American Sc
curity and Trust mines are playing on
almost even terms, and it would indeed
be difficult for anybody to say with any
degree Of surety that one or the other
will get the title. Both have been play
ing for the last month and half with
very little advantage favoring either. and
it is hard telling just how that race
will end. The Departmental League is
also putting on fight worthy of more
than passing notice. The Agriculture
and Interior mines are ready to meet in
the all-important contest next Tuesday,
when the championship may be decided.
It is certain that one of these two clubs
will be the winner.
The Central League Is putting on an
other close race during this half of the
schedule, but the champion team in this
series will have to go against Sherwood
before it can lay claim to the title for
the season, thus earning its right to
represent the league in the post-season
series. Sherwood Printers and Y. NJ H.
A. all seem to have about an equal
chance in this part of the schedule, al
ola folI
to favor Sherwood.
The Federal League is another that
will have to put on an extra series at
the end OF the present series in order
to determine winner. The league start
ed as q six-club organization but was
compelled to break up and start a new
schedule. Fairmonts are pretty sure to
win out In this series, and If they keep
going at their present gait, will likely
be the ultimate title-holders
The East Washington Sunday School
League championship is decided. almost
without doubt. 1t is difficult to foresee
how the Ninth team can be beaten out of
the pennant. It's position since its de-
feat of the First Methodist Protestant
nine seems very secure. The Northwest
Sunday School pennant could have been
given to the Emmanuel club long ago
1t has been so far in the lead from the
start that 1t was almost a foregone con-
clusion il would win out
BY beating the st. Stephen club yes
terday. the Trinity nine of the Marquette
League just about made sure its hold on
first place Yesterdays victory practically
gives it the championship.
With the league races shaping I'D we'll.
it is probable that there will not bs q
league race undecided within two weeks.
The chances are that the Championship
will belong TO some club really before

might perform more brilliantly around
the first sack than either of the other
two men who have been used there, vet
the club. as whole. would not be as
strong If he were used regularly in
the position. He can play the outfield
very creditably, while neither of the
other two men can do much in one OF
those positions. Both the other fell
lows are hitters above the average
which is why they are wanted in the
lineup as much as possible.
At a sort Of reunion Of old-time
athletes held at the celebration Of the
New York Athletic Club last week,
Bernie Wefers, although forty years of
age, put on track suit and gave an ex-
hibition, as did several other d-timers
Wefers was unquestonably the greatest
runner of his time, and probably as cley-
er as any of any age, unless it was dur
ing that of mythology. when the per-
markable that the records made by
Wefers back in 1896 still stand, and no
college man has been able to beat them
The late Mike Murphy stated that Wefers
was the most machinelike runner that
he had ever seen. According to him
there was never a single effort wasted.
and to watch Wefers run was like seeing
the steady drive of the pistons Of a steam
was about the highest praise that could
be accorded the former Georgetown man.
If the American Security and Trust
team played such game against
Cornell as it did yesterday against the
Wayerly club 1t is probable that the
Paperhangers would score SO many
runs that the scorekeeper would get
tired counting them. The infleld gave
a very poor exhibition. and there was
litfle life in the game at any time. Ten
errors were charged against the team.
and none was made by the outfield.
The game the Trust Company team
put up. although poor, was in a meas
ure excusable. Any time one team
figures that it has everything its
own way and that it does NOT
have to exert itself to win. il is
bound to look lifeless. Under such
conditions a ragged game is apt to he
the result. which, was just what was
played yesterday.
