For a Golf Tournament.

The suggestion in The Post a few days ago, regarding the holding of a golf tournament in Washington, has been taken up by the golfers, and it is probable that there will be a tournament next week, between members of the Philadelphia Country Golf Club and the Washington Golf Club.  The former has sent a challenge to the latter for a match game of golf, probably six or eight foursome, for a silver trophy.  This means that the games will be played by two men on each side, two balls will be used, and the competition will take place as in ordinary matches down to the finals.  The Washington club will have among its players Capt. Henry May, George Hellen, James W. Lockett, John F. Leech, Ricardo Diaz-Albertini, A. J. Parsons, Philip Carroll, and George S. Fraser.  Details for the tournament are now being perfected.

Professionals Will Compete.

The first professional pool tournament that has been held in Washington in several years will commence next Thursday night at the Hotel Emrich, on the Avenue.  The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company will put in a special table for the contest.  There will be five contestants, two each night, and each contestant will play with each of the others once.  The tourney will last six nights.

Bernard Harding, Harry Tuttle, and Tom Brown, all of Washington, are well known by all local admirers of the cue.  Harry Primrose and Fred Stewart are the best players of Baltimore.  Stewart, the well-known boxing manager, is the present champion of the State.  Each contest will consist of 125 balls, continuous pool, under the same rules as the recent National Tournament at Syracuse, N. Y.  The first prize will be $75; second, $50; third, $25.

One-sided, but Interesting Basket Ball.

One of the best and cleanest games of basket ball yet played was that of last night between the Carroll Institute and the Washington Athletic Club, at the gymnasium of the C. I.  Although the score stood 13 to 1 in favor of the Institute boys, it was a clean game, the guards of the Carroll Institute team, Gallagher, Mess, and Hughes, doing some fine work.  The goals were made by Mangan, Daly, Hughes, Roach, and Pearson.  For the W. A. C. Mullen made the only goal.
