THE FIRST PRIZE
Surprise for Chevy Chase Golf
ers in Yesterdays Handicap
Medal Play.

DR.. F. r. Hagner, with a handicap Of 49,
surprised the golfers Of the Chevy Chase
Club yesterday afternoon by winning the
first prize In the handicap medal play, 10
holes, with net score Of IS. Mr.. J. H.
Brickenstein won the second prize with a
net score Of &C. His handicap was -. The
winner was one of the later entries to fin
ish in the afternoon and many predicted
that the net score of Mr.. w. F. Ham, who
finished with a gross score of 80 and net
score of IS, would figure prominently in
the competition for the first prize. In
this they were mistaken, for although Mr.
Hams score was in the front with the
leaders, still the winner and second man
forged ahead and Mr.. Frank Ellis tied him.
In the morning Mr.. Justice Harlan went
over the links as competitor in the
handicap, but at the close of his tour of
the course failed to have his score placed
upon the score board to figure in the race
for the first prize The action Of Mr.. JUS
tice Harlan in not entering his score was
followed by number Of the golfers in
the afternoon, including Mr. w. j. Board
man, who rarely fails to have his score
placed upon the board In this Mr.. Board
man, who is in his SEVENTEEN year, sets
strenuous example to many of the younger
and less enthusiastic golfers. One thing
that was noticeable in the play during the
day was the fact that a noon only six
golfers had started over the course-Mr.
Justice Harlan and Messrs. l.. A. Pradt, +.
Faust, F. H. Giliet, H. Wyle and DR..
Ralph Jenkins. OF the number, only DR..
Jenkins entered his at the finish,
which showed a gross score of 96, handi-
cap of II and a net score of 81.

of had arrived more golfers made their
appearance, among them such well-known
polfars Davidson r.
Morven Thompson and Frank Ellis. The
stream of entries kept up until shortly
after o'clock, when Maj. H. F. Hodges
and Mr.. Rudolph Kaufman started over
the course. Shortly after this the golfers
who had Started earlier in the afternoon be-
gan driving from the eighteenth tee and
thereafter the line of golfers finishing was
continuous until after & o'clock. When the
last returns were tabulated it was found
that forty golfers had started over the
course during the day, and although there
had been no really interesting scores made
in the face of the strong northwest wind
that had been sweeping over the course the
entire day the golfers were satisfied that
the play had been of much benefit to them
AS the golfers were finishing a number
of the members of the club, together with
ladies. sat about the eighteenth green and
watched the work at the last hole. In a
number Of instances the gowns bore all the
appearances that spring mad arrived and
one of the men was attired in light spring
suit and straw hat-indeed, as one remark
ed, getting ready for summer Thus the
afternoon passed, but not without the eager
golfers gathering about the score board and
discussing the showing made by their diff
ferent friends. The list of entries included
