DR.. Harbin Eliminates Baltimore's
Best in Middle Atlantic Tourney

Baltimore, Md, June I'D. Clark Cork
ran, on whom the locals pinned their
hopes on winning the Middle Atlantic
Golf Associations tournament, now in
progress over the links OF the Baltimore
Country Club, at Roland Park, was elm
mated from the event today, when he
was defeated by L. L. Harlan, Of Wash
ington, in the first round Of the initial
sixteen. The score was l up.
Very much like the qualifying round OF
yesterday, CorGan's game was not al
together up 10 his standard; while his
drives were good, the slow conditions Of
the green's and his erratic putting soon
had him in a bad way. and on the jour
ney home the Washin gtonian showed his
superiority. Harlan, who has won the
Middle Atlantic championship before, is
looked upon by many to come through
with flying colors against the year.
Baltimore has only two players left in
the initial sixteen. They are Sasscer
Of the Maryland Country Club. and Jenk-
ins, of the Baltimore Country Club. The
remainder Of the field IN the first six
teen are from Washington, and 1t looks
very much as II the latter will win the
tournament.
The first round OF match play started
this morning over the course of the Bal
tirnore Country Club. despite the fact
that II rained hard throughout the morn

ing. The course was in a deplorabIe con-
dition and in many places the greens
wore under water.
DR.. Harban's playing today was excel
lent, considering the condition Of the
green's. He played with ease and his
strokes were very accurate. In the first
sixteen tomorrow DR.. Harlan will meet
Balyntyne, Of Washington, and in the
lower semi-flnals, Donald Woodward, Of
Washington, will meet T. Courtney Jen-
kins, OF the Baltimore Country Club.
The semi-fnals and finals will be played
tomorrow. Washington now has eight
men qualified to play in the rounds to-
morrow, and there is little doubt but
what the players from that city will win
the tourney.

Confidence is reflected in the bet

fused to give odds, but hackers
