Defeats Chamber of Commerce for
Third Successive Time and Dimes
as Guests.
Score Stands % to 7 in Match at
Columbia Country C1ub-Sum-
mary of Play.

AS the sun dropped toward the
horizon yesterday afternoon twenty
eight tired and happy golfers sighed
q long sigh of pleasure and turned
toward the clubhouse of the Columbia
Country Club. where the Board OF
Trade men sat down to their third sue
cessive dinner at the expense OF the
Chamber of Commerce. The golf match
was the third between the representa-
tives of the two civic organizations.
The exact score was: Board of Trade.
IS: Chamber of Commerce. :. Most of
the matches were as tight as is possible
and several surprises disrupted the
dope in the camp of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Bradley Gish. the mi ghty son of swat,
was matched against A B. Leet. and in
justice to Gish it may be said that he
expected a fairly easy victory, but he
did not know that Leet is a former
District titleholder and always one of
the most formida BILE players of the Co
lumbia Country Club. He showed Gish
the way to play the game to the tune
of 6-5. winning points from his
long driving opponent. One of the
feature battles of the day was the con-
test between Herbert 4. Shannon of
the chamber and Leroy W. Heron of
the board. Again the loser thought he
had been allotted easy one" and
again was he sadder but wiser man
as he holed his last putt. Shannon re-
marked on the first tee that if he got
over the branch of the creek his
drive his opponent was beaten, and he
carried the creek all right. but Heron
showed the stuff of which he was made
and brought Shannon in 4 down and
to play. winning points for the board
John Brawner defeated the veteran
John Dawson. by and l in a match
which was closely contested through
out. winning points from the former
Middle Atlantic champion.

three points from the doughty Mccain
mon.
but the feature contest was that be-
tween the two captains, John F. Slaven
OF the Chamber of Commerce and John
c. Walker of the Board of Trade. Both
players felt that aside from the per-
sonal glory at stake they must con-
tribute something to the winning total
of their respective teams. and result
Of their respective teams. and a result
waged fast and furiousIy 70 the home
green, where Walker won the hole and
saved point for the board. However,
Siaven played better golf for the ma
jority of the journey around the course
and Walker was beaten by two and
one. Both men made scores well up
toward 1e0. but this was more than
compensated by the. closeness of the
