HAGEN WINS.

FIRST DEFEAT OF ARCHIE COMPSTON

A GREAT FINISH

London, Saturday. Having defeated Hagen by 5 and. 7. in a 36 holes match at Moor Park, Compston met him again at Blackwell in the second 36 holes match. They were all square on the morning's play.

Whereas Hagen had been late at Moor Park, he appeared on the Blackwell course half an hour be fore time and it was Compston's turn to keep the crowd, waiting. The match started 15 minutes late.

Compston took the 1st bule through Hagen being too strong in his approach shot and thereby missing a four foot putt.

The American lost the 2nd hole in similar manner and Compston became two up.

The 3rd and 4th holes were halved.

At the 5th Hagen was hunker ed and had to take two shots. Loss of this hole made the Bri
