In Local Title Tourney
By FRANK II. YOUNG

AS result of yesterdays play in
the District Golf Associations cham
pionship tournament played over the
Columbia Country Club course. the.
third and semi final rounds Will be
gotten out of the way today and a
good line has been gotten on the
probable chances of the entrants.
Every Indication Is that the best
match of the event will be played
this afternoon.
Robert l.. Finkenstaedt. Columbia.
and Walter II. Tuckerman, Chevy
Chase, are generally conceded as be-
ing the best in the tourney. Both
should win their third round
matches this morning which. as they
are In the same half. will throw
them together this afternoon.
With one exception. no 'upsets"
were registered yesterday. all of the
favorites coming through in fine
shape. Arthur s. Mattingly, of Col
umbia, was responsible for the one
surprise of the day Chen he scored
a decisive victory over Walter r.
McCallum. of the Washington Golf
and Country Club. McCallum. who
! is one of the top-notchers of the
local contingent, was looked upon
who has not been playing his best
game of late, but the latter was
there" yesterday and deserved his
3-2 victory.
Good On Approach
He was almost uncanny in his
putting and approaching and Nc
Callum never had a chance. Matt
laid his approaches almost where he
wanted them and on no less than
nine greens only had to take one
putt. When he did waver coming
toward the green. he made IL up al
ter he got there by his brilliant put
ting.
Donald Woodward was going very
well yesterday, but faltered at the
start of his match with Tuckerman
in the second round and lost.
Against Lee Harlan. in the first
round, he was out in 81 and won
handily, Z and 5. but he dropped the
first four holes against Tuckermsn.
and, although lie showed good golf
from that time on. he could not over
come this handicap and lost,
and 3.
Finkenstaedt Wins Two.
Finkenstaedt won his two matches
easily. as did George p. James and
John H. Clapp, two others of whom
great things are expected This last
mentioned pair are in the upper half
and are expected to beat their third
round opponents this morning and
meet in the semi-finals this after
noon, although NJ. b. Stevinson, OF
Columbia, is playing consistent golf
and may do the unexpected when ne
meets James this morning.
The event will end tomorrow with
the thirty-six hole finals as the at
traction. the first half of which will
start at 10 o'clock with the remain
ing rounds scheduled for 2. Sum-
