You make the call.

There's a runner on first, no outs. The batter hits a sharp one hopper to the first baseman. The runner on first, runs back to first to avoid being tagged. The first baseman steps on first base, before the batter reaches it, then tags the runner that was originally on first. Is that a double play?

The first baseman should have tagged the runner first, there by created a force out, and THEN stepped on first to finish off a double play before the batter reached the bag.
