Bannoclthurn held the first open hand
cap prize competition in Its history upon
the links at Chevy Chase Circle yester-
day. That it might hold more in the r.
ture was tho unanimous sentiment of TIC
golfers who competod for the six pr!z
offered. It drew distinctiveIy horle
crowd. They were all there. Everybo,,y
N Was ington golflom It seemed can
out. OF course they were not al! there.
but the main dcvotees of tho game were.
That helped to make the event a success.
Bannocllburn hospitality did the res.
Rarely is such good fellowship shown in
a golf tournament Everybody openly
wanted his opponent to win this or that
trophy-a "a Alphonse. But the oppo-
nent was generally left in the lurch.
Eugene Carusi came out carly He
came, it is stated. to carry away the first
prize. Then along came Arthu. w. Dunn.
Both are Columbia men. They were pair
ed. Dunn knows Carusi and Carus' knows
Dunn. They played over the eighteen
holes, and ever and anon when an Oh
server would catch sight of Carusi he
was tearing up corntields adjacent to d
green in vain attempt TO recover from
drive that could have been better. In
the words of his oppon he never saw
golfer dig as Carusi did during that
play" Carusi alleges that although I {
tore up his card his score was a good
deal better than good many which
were post ID Anyhow. CarVSi says he
wanted TO play the game according to the
rules as played at st. Andrews and at
the Columbia Golf CLUB. while Dunn in
sisted upon the rules In vogue in 1ra-
land. Thus they came home without
cards, with the golfers holding Their de-
cision as to the winner In allegiance. The
friends Of Mr.. Dunn state that as the
writer of the biography OF the Pr sdent
he is entitled to distinguished cons dera-
ton. while Eugene Carusl is a prize good
fellow of local golfdOm. So what was 20
be done? Each golfer made his own de-
cision. Mr.. Carusi was evidently saus-
fled with the outcome of the battle for
al during the afternoon he Cavorted
about the Inks in JOY and played billiards
upon the tees.
There Are Others.
But when Mr.. Carusi and Mr.. Dunn are
mentioned one must not forget that there
were others. MI. J. Iioldsworth Gordon,
who rarely comes out to enter in a golf
tournament, was there, as was Pliny
Moran of the Columbia Golf Club. This
time Mr. Moran was not accompanied by
his new green golf cape. He was playing
hard for a CUP. bat his recent de- eat at
the Columbia Golf Club tourney had eN-
IDENTIFY put him off his usual good play
and he did not come within the winning
circle Mr.. s. l. Heap Of the Chevy
Chase Club was especially golfy IN his
appearance and caused mo . than one Of
the members of the BanuOckburu Club TO
remark that their organization should
have a color. He wore a red gOlfing
coat and natty white flannel trousers.
Billy Knowles was especially Scotch in
his cap. His other accouterments were
Of the usual everyday " ar. He. too, il
is stated, expected to come within the
winning crowd. but as the play was upon
RannockhU MS course it Is said he held
back puTpOsely 50 that som" one else
from a visiting club could have the pick
of the prizes Of course DR.. Lee Harlan
was there. Mrs. Harlan came. too. She
came to carry home the prizes. Mrs.
Harlan has acquired this habit and now
when a tournament IS mentioned she al
ways comes in time To add TO the family
collection which DR.. Harlan has been
winning To- the last 'steen years DR..
Wilbur Smith looked happy. but didn't
win one Of the cups. H was happy, it
is said, because the events passed on SO
successfully. But when the events Of
the day are To be commented upon the
woman members Of the Barnpckburn Club
must be newfoundland at length. They
furnish 50 per cent OF the enthusiasm
