IN GOLF TOURNEY.
Baltimore Player Wins Chevy
Chase Clubs Spring Event
From W. S. Reyburn.
PARRISH ALSO WINNER

| to have become habit with the younger
| members Of the Corkran family of Balti-
| more. Yesterday afternoon D. Clarke
Corkran Of the Baltimore Country Club,
| the Twenty-Five year-old brother of Il.
Warren Corkran of national fame. won
the seventh annual golf tournament given
| by the Chevy Chase Club, defeating Will
| liam s. Reyburn OF the home organiza-
| ton in the final round, up and 3 to play.
Displaying a very long game from the
| tee and completely eclipsing Reyburn on
| the first nine holes. Corkran was 8 up at
the turn and looked like a sure winner
| at the twelfth, where he was dorme I
up and had short putt to win the match.
| He missed the short putt, however and
so well did Reyburn play that, aided by
the mistakes OF his opponent, he carried
| the match to the fifteenth hole. nearly
sinking a twenty-foot putt to carry the
match a hole farther.
Reyburn was very unsteady from the
tee and frequently, particularly on the
, first nine. left himself little too much
to do around the green's where he was in
| fine fettle, but rot quite good enough TO
| make up for his lapses in the long game.
| On course such as that of the Chevy
| Chase Club the man who can punch out a
very long tee shot is at tremendous
advantage, and the tale of the match is
| told in the fact that Reyburn was, con-
trary to his usual game. weak off the tee.
and Corkran. always a very long hitter,
was unusually long.
The Baltimorean with a bad start. which
| holes. had the out nine in 80. which is
quite enough to hold the ordinary player
well in check, and was up. as Reyburn
| was going badly The latter lost the ninth
hole with a 3, Corkran being on the green
| with his tee shot and running down the
putt for g.
When Reyburn. dormie down. won the
| thirteenth and fourteenth it looked as il
| the match, seemingly a runaway affair,
| might suddenly become interesting, but
| the end came on the fifteenth. when Rey-

terrific ball from the first tee straight
down the course into the wind, while Rey-

get out over the cop of the bunker and
played a good shot out on the eighteenth

The greatest exhibition of power and
accuracy from the tee came at the
ninth hole which, with the tee plates
