June HANDICAP GOLF
TOURNEY PROGRESSING
Several Good Matches Played, the
Result of New Stroke
Allotment.

Despite the fact that the Columbia
Country Clubs course was used exclu-
sively two days during the week for
the District championship event, good
progress was made in the June handi-
cap tournament and the second round
was practically completed as per
schedule.
Several exceptionally good matches
resulted. which shows that the new
handicaps recently allotted the various
players of the club are just about
right In the first sixteen, the best
match was that between Daniel X.
jackson and Edward B. Eynon. jr.,
the former winning by one up. the
match being decided on the home"
hole According to the rules govern
ing the tournament, the lower handi-
cap player gives his opponent num-
Der of holes up" equal to one-half
the difference in their handicaps with
half-stroke counting as one. So Jack
son started off two up and this was
just about enough for him to win.
Throughout the match. his approaching
was of the best. while EEnon was not
quite as steady as he usually is.
The longest match occurred in the thru
sixteen. when W. II. Moses defeated {.
A. Watson. up at thirty-six holes.
Watson started Moses l UP and was just
able to overtake him in the first eighteen
holes, thereby making another round
necessary. Moses was too good for him
on the second trip, however, and gained
hole, winning up. For while II
looked as if a tnirG round would be
necessary as. with Moses / up on the
eighteenth tee. Watson got away with a
pretty drive and it looked very much as
if he would win the hole when his third
was well on the green. but miss of an
easy putt allowed Moses to win it.
Representative W. W. Oglesby, captain
of the House golf team and the low
est handicapped Congressman in the Co
lumbia Club, won his match from w.
o. Gilbert in the second sixteen. up and
q Oglesby started Gilbert up. but had
no trouble overtaking him and winning
out on the sixteenth, which he took in
par figures.
Harold E. Doyle registered the worst
defeat of the day when he won from A
G. Buhrman in the first sixteen, 10
and 6. Doyle played one of his best
games. while everything his opponent did
went wrong
Play in the semi-final round of the
various sixteens will be decided this week
