CLOSE CARDS MARK
S|AMESE CUP PLAY
Two Extra-HoIe Matches in
First Round of Tourney at
Chevy Chase Club.

\ The first round of match play of the
Siamese cup golf tourney at the Chevy
Chase Club yesterday resulted in a ma
jority of close contests. the handicaps
bringing the entrants close together.
| The weather was ideal for the outdoor
| sport and quite a large gallery gath
cred around the home green to watch
| the incoming of the different pairs.
The best contest of the afternoon was
that between G. w. DenfieId and W. G.
Peter, the former winning by 1 up on
nineteen holes. What made the match
unusually interesting was the fact that
both players were exactly even on the
hsndicaps, and it was a nip and tuck
affair from start to finish.
other good matches were those be-
tween G. T. Dunlop and ]. S. Larcombe.
jr., the former winning by l up on
nineteen holes In this match the vic
tor had an advantage of exactly one
stroke in the handicapping and this
solitary 'blow" landing him on top.
Another Extra-Hole Battle.
Another good battle that went nine
teen holes was that between w. B. Ma
son and w. J. Father, jr., the former
winning by l up. Mason had four
strokes the best of it in the handi-
caps, which was too much for Flather
to overcome.
E. NJ. Talcott. who has two legs on the
cup made a good start this year by
beating A. G. Lott, 3 up and 1.
The second round is scheduled for Sat
urday and the matches all look good, as
the handicaps make the stars work to
defeat weaker brothers.

Judge Lands had to warn Adding
ton not to keep on repeating himself.
Ban Johnson, Garry Hermann and
other o. B. lights predict some Ty
Cobb TUnmaking when their ten law

Organized baseball officials today
were far from dOwncast over the YER
bal Smelling that was poured into
their entertainments yesterday. They
pointed out that they will develop
just as deadly a system of batting
attack or artillery fire-as you will
as anything the Feds have shown to
date. Judge Lands having set no
time limit on the arguments, it was
not believed that organized baseball
forces would take the offensive until
late this afternoon, or tomorrow at
the earliest. At that time legal COM
mander-in-chief of the o. B. forces in
the field, George Miller, will lead the
advance in force.
There was another big crowd on
