Hasty Pudding and "Fly" clubs. He took up golf as a lad and was slim stripling of 1003 when he won medal honors In the national amateur championship at the N&a aau Country club at Olenn Cove, l.

Twenty yeara later, in 1929, he reached the aemt-flnals of the na tional amateur. That was the year the title was won by Harrison Johnston over Dr. O. F. Willing.

Chandler Egan Med ford loses her most famous citizen, known as a. golfer, not only In this country from coast to coast, but throughout the world. In the opinion of many golfing experts Egan wss the great est competitive golfer who ever lived, winning the national amateur title when an undergraduate at Har vard two successive years. 1904 and 1005, andncsrly a quarter of a cen tury later, after several years ab sence from tournament play, a man of middle age, reaching the semi finals In the national amateur at Pebble Beach, California, the year the then-champion, Bobby Jonea, was nut out by Johnny Goodman of Omaha. A few yeara later he de featcd Ororge Von Elm, then rank lng Among the first two or three in the amateur ranks, and because of his outstanding play that year, was chosen for the Wslker Cup team which defeated the Britishers In England. Only a few months ago a speclsl article In the American Golfer was published about Chan, written by a well-known golfing ex pert, who maintained while there were no doubt greater golfers, in amateur ranks, naming Jones and Little as two, there had never been a golfer who, during s long period erf lime, maintained such a high I average In competitive play, and ac claimed him as one of the greatest exponents of the game, and finest sportsmen, this greet Scotch game had ever seen. While maintaining his sensational prowess as a golfer up to the very time of his desth; of late years, Chsn had been devoting more and more of his time as golf srchltect, planning and laying out golf coursei, having been called a year ago to draw plans for the Bobby Jones course In Georgia, new course In Spokane, and it was while on a trip to Everett, Wash., to supervise the construction of the Legion course In that city, that he contracted a severe cold, which do veloped Into pneumonls, resulting In his fatal Illness. There Is no doubt that had his life been spsred he would have reached an eminence in golfing architecture, as outstsnd lng as his earlier eminence in tne game Itself. In recognition of his long service to the game, he was msde a mem ber of the executive committee of the TT. S. Golf association several yenrs ago and planned to attend a meeting of this committee In the East shortly sfter the conclusion of his work at Everett. While to the outside world Chand ler was known chiefly as a golfer, st his home here In Medford. he wss known not only ss thst, but as a high-minded and loyal citizen, a devoted friend, one always taking an active Intelligent Interest, If not a prominent part, In all movemeuts looking toward the development ana betterment of this section of the stste. Thanks largely to his efforts, his professional services given with out a thought or remuneration, Medford was one of the first plsces of Its else In the state to have golf course, and It was Chan who laid out, designed and supervised the present 18-hole course of the Rogue Valley golf club, east of me city, which will slwaya remain as a lasting monument to his Interest in the game, his devotion to this com muntty and fine sense of dlsinher lted public service. To say that his death has thrown a pall of gloom over the city and valley, would be an understatement of the case as It exlwts today. From all sides, from all walks of life, from old and from young, have come ex presslons of grief and sorrow over the news of his sudden and unex pected passing. While Ms intlmaws were few, his acquaintanceship was Isrge, and miring his long residence here since 1910, he hsd by his mod esty, naturalness and personal ohsrm, endeared himself literally to all. He leaves to mourn hla loss, Mrs. EKsn. the former Alice Barrett ol Chicago, and a daughter by earlier marriage, Mrs. Morris Everett of Cleveland. His first wife was the former Nena MrNally of Chicago. He also leaves one brother, Brad shaw Egan, a married sister, and his mother, Mrs. Wm. C. Egan, alt of Chicago. A .
