GIVES PATRIOTIC Event
Chevy Chase Club Donates Large
Part of Golf Tourney Prize
Money to Red Cross.
Glass. Alley,

The spring invitation golf tourna-
ment held by the Chevy Chase Club
last week was the first event held In
this part of the country in which part
of the tournament expenses were do
mated to the American Red Cross. In
short time ago by the United States
Golf Association. the tournament par
took strongly of the nature of pa
triotic affair. When the U. S. G. A.
ing of invitations had already been
awarded and the major prizes had
been purchased, and a strong senti-
ment among the members of the club
favored the cancellation of the event.
1t was decided to hold the tourney
and eliminate the usual cups and med
ais given to winners and runners-up
in the minor flights and defeated
eights. The money appropriated for
the event far exceeded the amount
prizes. and a considerable sum was
turned over to the American Red Cross
The honor of being the first club in
the country to hold a patriotic tourney
does not rightly belong to the Chevy
Chase Club, but to the Lakewood Club
of New Jersey, which gave an invita-
tion event in April, at which all en-
trants were asked to donate before
playing the qualification round Only
two major prizes were presented in
given to the winner and runner-up in
the first flight.
This week the Baltimore Country
Clubs spring tournament will be
played. starting with the qualification
round on Thursday. The first and Sec
ond rounds of match play will be- held
Friday and the semi-finals and finals
Saturday.
D. Clarke Corkran, winner of the
Chevy Chase tournament. is member
of the Maryland National Guard. The
tournament to be held at the Baltimore
Country Club this week is very likely
to be his last for quite a while, as the
artillery troop of which he Is a member
Will soon be called out for active sery-
Ice. Corkran won both the qualifica-
tion round and the tournament proper
of the Chevy Chase event, thus violat-
ing one of the traditions Of golf, which
indicate that the medalist very seldom
wins his tournament.
