DIR. Lee Harlan. and this was the main
topic of conversation, and many We're
the "alibis' offered in behalf of the
champion by his friends, but the con-
sensus of opinion was that the local
player found conditions just. to his lik-
ing and won on his merits.
Travers Paired With Doyle.
Those who want to see the champion
In action will get chance this after
noon, as he paired with Harold z.
Doyle for the handicap match. An un-
usual feature will be the fact that
Travers Will be compelled to start be-
low scratch the first time this has ever
happened In a local event.
The pairs were all started on time.
and the semi-f1nal rounds in both the
consolation and the main events were
practically completed in all Of the six
teens. the finals being on tap for the
afternoon.
and W. II. Follett Of the Royal. St.
David's Club. England. are fighting 1t out
this afternoon in the finals of the hrst
sixteen. the former having defeated Dr..
Lee L. Harlan. and John Davidson having
lost to the English player. ) up and 4
being the scores of each match.
DR. Harlan used all his puts" yester
day when he beat Jerome Travers and
was clearly off his form, Tuckerman beat
ing him for the second time. within a
week. He received bad start. and was
down at the end of the first five holes.
OF the next four two were halved. and
he lost the others. making him 6 down at
tho turn. He did some of his best work
on the ninth, when Tuckerman Stymed
him and he pitched it for a half in five.
Tuckerman was I up when he won the
tenth. He lost the next two. and when
he halved the thirteenth he was dormie.
the match ending when the fourteenth
was halved.
Follett-Davidson Match.
The Follett-Da wilson match differed
only that it was closer in the first half,
Davidson being down at the turn. 1t
was here that Follett by a series of won
derful approaches was able to take four
and halve one of the next five holes.
One of the closest matches in the morn
ing came in the semi-fnals of the fifth
sixteen, when it took F. F. Appleman
nineteen holes to beat F.. B. Pyle The
latter was. plainly off his game in the
early stages, and was five down at the
turn. The tenth was halved and he then
CALLED and took the next five squaring
the match on the sixteenth. The seven
teenth was halved. and it looked as If
Appleman would win on the home hole.
but he laid himself a stymie which en-
abled Pyle to halve it. He took the nine
teenth hole In par four.
Another good match was tat between
Moryen Thompson. captain of the Chevy
Chase team. and George P. James of Co
lumbia, the former winning one up.
Thompson was three UP at the twelfth.
but lost the next three. He was one up
at the eighteenth tee, and won the match
by running down q pretty putt for. a half.
