DIT. Lee Harlan. as usual, carried of
the hOnors in the finals of the annual
spring tournament o: the Columbia Golf
Club, which ended last evening. Dr.
Harlan won three prizes. They were
handsome silver dish for winning the
Club Cup match. the most important Of
the tourney: a cup for the lowest gross
score in the handicap stroke cOmpeti-
ton, and another prize for winning the
first round for the Qualification Cup.
What cups DR.. Harlan did not get
were nearly all coIlared by the Weaver
brothers. George won a handsome sill
yer pitcher for successfully disposing
Of his opponents in the second sixteen,
and Louis was presented with a silver
topped water bottle for having the low
est net score in the handicap. The onlT
other prize TO be had was that which
went TO the winner Of the Consolation
Cup. Louis Weaver and Samuel Dali
zell were left IN the final, but LIEF Hand

Chase man. proved too much for Mr.
Weaver in this match. easily winning by

who could not gauge II. but as the day
grew older the wind subsidized and af-
forded much better sport.
Dr.. Harlan, of Course.
When DR. Lee Harlan, who won 4
up and 70 play, and w. Z. Conl1lyn
started out in the finals for the first
sixteen cup. a large gallery followed in
their wake. Bad putting by Mr.. Conk-
lyn gave the first hole to DR.. Harlan
by 4 TO 5. The second hole was halved
Mr. Conklyn would have won it, but
for another bad put. which should
have been easily made. Mr.. Conklyn
evened matters up at the third hole.
After both had made excellent drives
Mr.. COnklyn made a beautiful ap-
proach, and won the third from DR..
Harlan by one stroke. the latter failing
to do It IN boyle.
Luck was with DIR. Harlan going to
the fourth hole On his drive of his
ball struck in the foliage of tree. but
luckily bounded back on the course, and
bad putting by his opponent gained him
the hole by five TO six Both men play
ed extraordinary golf at the fifth hole.
Each drove all the way on to the fair
green. and made the hole, the boyle for
which is four. in three strokes. They
came within an ace Of making It III two.
Both men then sliced to the right on
the drive OF for the sixth hole and land
ed on the hill, but Mr.. COnklyn's drive
was much better than that of HIS oppo-
nent DR.. Harlan excelled at putting,
however, and halved the hole with him
in four. DR. Harban's work at the sew
enth hole brought forth applause from
the gallery. Both he and Mr.. Conklyn
made good drives, and an excellent ap-
proach and good put enabled the cap
tain OF the Columbia team 20 make the
hole in three. one under boyle
To the Tall Grass.
DR. Harlan drove into the tall grass on
the ninth hole. and Mr.. Conklyn's long
drive gave him a big advantage, but Oh
his second stroke he chopped the ball
and lost some of his lead. Each drove
into the bunker on the next shot Then
DR.. Harlan approached better than his
opponent. and won the hole by one, al
though each went over bogie
The Philadelphia golfer got back one
hole at the tenth. thanks to poor work
By the Columbia man. Neither was able
20 reach It in boyle. DR.. Harlan drove
into the pines at the eleventh hole. but
extricated himself nicely Mr. ConkIyn
should have won, but again his inferior
putting ruined his chances and the hole
was halved in bOgie.
The twelfth hole seemed easy for DIR.
perfect stymie and halved It in six
The thirteenth hole went to Da. Harlan
by virtue Of a splendid drive. He drove
way into the ditch on the fly and put
the ball in the cup one under bogie.
Fourteenth Hole Bad.
The playing OF both men at the four
teenth hole was way of. Mr.. Conklyn
chopped the ball on his second stroke
and II went only twenty yards. Then
the poorest kind Of approaching and
putting by both permitted them TO halvg
II in six. The fifteenth was halved, but
DR.. Harlan captured the sixteenth hole
By one up, and won the match, four Up
and two to play.
Mr. Conklyn proved the equal Of the
District champion at driving. and posi-
bly, at approaching, but his putting could
IN no way compare with that Of the
doctor. The work OF both Of them yes
terday afternoon was nothing to boast
about DR.. Harlan IS capable OF mucn
better golf.
