HARLAN IN THE LEAD.
The Washington Golfer Makes Rec
ords mt Pinehurst y, G..


PINEHURST, N. c., April 1.-The first
annual open tournament for the United
North and South Championship was be-
gun here today with a thirty-six hole
qualifying round, the best sixteen gross
scores to qualify for the championship.
The course is 5,279 yards long, and most
admirably laid out over the rolling, sandy
hills of North Carolina, which are so well
adapted for golhng purposes and abound
in natural hazards.
DR.. l.. l. Harlan, of Washington, who
won the All Florida Championship, did
not do so well on his first round, as he
did a 80, but in the afternoon he went
out in q and came back in ~, making a
new eighteen-hole record for the course
of 70. His 169 for the days play is also
a new thirty-six hole record for the
course. He played grand golf and his
excellent work was thoroughly enjoyed
by the large throng of onlookers.

ship were: DR.. L. L. Harlan, Columbia
