Golfers of the Washington Golf and
Country Club will attempt this after
noon to repel the invasion of a team
of players from the Bannock burn Golf
Club in the third of a fve-match
series of team contests between the
two clubs. Washington is standing
ON the slipping fragment of a last
hope in the team contests, as Ban
nockburn has won the two previous
contests played this year. and if the
golfers from the Maryland club an
mex the contest this afternoon they
will have won the team champion
ship of the two clubs for two con-
secutive seasons.
Last year they won a majority of
pontests from the members of the
washington Golf and Country Club
And have gotten away to flying
start in this years contests. Mem
bers of the Virginia club are pre-
pairing, however, for game stand
over their own course, this afternoon
In the hope that the issue may be
deferred, or that they may ultimately
yin out. Both clubs will put their
strongest players in the field this after
noon, Bannockburn hoping to win three
straight matches and Washington hop
ing to win its first in the series of
matches
Not satisfied with efforts of the
men, caddies of the Washington Golf
and Country Club attempted to stage
a miniature repetition of the trouble
in Washington last week by scrap
ping among themselves at the CLUB
EridaV affernnnn No to
know how the trouble started, but che
colored boys separated themselves
from the whites and withdrew TO a
safe distance from the white strong
hold (the caddde house) and were ap-
parently preparing for action when
they were stopped and amity restored
by Terry, the club pro.
What is considered one of the most
remarkable golfing feats ever per-
formed about Washington was accom-
plished by Orrin A. Terry, pro at the
Washington Golf and Country Club
last week. Terry had the first nine
holes in 80. but did not finish the
round. Had he finished he might have
had a score in the neighborhood of
s2 or, perhaps. better. but he had to
give a lesson and stopped ON the
ninth hole.
A question arose yesterday at one
or the country CLUBS as to the dates
for the annual mems championship
of the District of Columbia and the
competition for The Evening Star
cup. The mems event will be held
over the course of the Chevy Chase
Club at seventy-two holes medal play
October and 10. and the competition
for The Star cup, open to all woman
players in the District of Columbia,
will be held over the course of the
Washington Golf and Country Club
October and 3.

ates the golfing air at the country
clubs these days. What with the
heavy rains of the past two weeks and
the extremely hot weather of Friday

being played.

| Notwithstanding reports to the con-

| make spirited bid for the national
amateur golf championship of 1920.
| This announcement was made yes
| terday in letters to committeeman of
| the club and to members interested
in bringing the blue ribbon event of
golf to Columbia in 1920. Columbia
this year has gone through an ex-
tensive process of rebuilding in prep
| aration for the title tourney and even
more changes are contemplated.
| Greens have been raised and their en-
| tire character altered; tees have been
changed and additional features in
stituted, all calculated to make the
! course of the caliber that the truly
| championship course must be.
| So far have preparations for the
tourney gone that club members. in
Guiding members of the board of gov
ernors have pledged sum which now
totals approximately $1,000 for up
| keep and maintenance of the course
| in addition to fixed maintenance
charges and these expenses which are
| corollaries to the successful holding
i of the national championship.
To Push Columbia's Claims
Every effort will be made between
now and the annual meeting of the
United States Golf Association next
January to bring the course up to it's
highest standard of play in order
that the course may be in such excel
lent shape that the tournament COM
mittee of the governing body of golf
cannot afford to- overlook Columbia's S

fly in the ointment at present is the
order of precedence for national
championships.
The New York district is by prece-
deace supposed to get two champion
ships to one for the west or other
sections of the country. In 1915 the
title event was held at the Merton
Cricket Club near Philadelphia, and
the year before the tourney was held
at Detroit, which correctly puts the
New York district in the way of OBJ
tanning the 1920 event. Last winter
it was announced that the Baltimore
Country Club was in line to make a
bid for the 1920 event, but officials
of the latter organization have ind
Gated their willingness to step asid .
and allow the claims of Columbia tr
be recognized. This years event Val
