4hall match to start at 10 o'clock
next Sunday morning. Mackenzie

This match is expected to draw the
largest gallery ever to watch an eX-
h;bitiOn about the Capital. for Jones
has not shown his wares here since
he became amateur champion and
Gum never has been seen in action
near Washinton. The fact that two
Washington men. one of them the
city's outstanding golfer, have been
haired against the two Southerners
adds to the local interest. The Wash

made the usual luncheon arrange
ments to handle large crowd. The
match is open TO the public without

In Boston Jesse Guilford has been
