John NJ. Ward, Charles Hitchcock, jr., Rob-
ert c. Watson. ir., and Walter j. Travis
The two last named, however, favor modt-
fication to the extent of playing eighteen
holes on the first and eighteen holes on the
second day in the qualifying round Instead
of thirty six on the first day.
In explanation for taking this view Mr..
Watson said: Assuming there are 40 en-
tries, this means seventy pairs starting from
the first tee. The best those in charge can
do Is to dispatch twenty-four pairs an hour,
which means a lapse of at least three hours
between the first and the last pair. With
such an unWieldy field the congestion is I'M
usual and delays become tedious and weari-
some.
LAS a result round, instead Of occupying
two hours and half, requires four hours.
Thus the last pair who, l will assume,
started at han-past 10 in the morning,
would not finish their first round until half
past in the afternoon, which would mean
Z o'clock in the evening at the earliest be-
fore they made their last stroke.
Amateurs here, as a rule, are very slow
and tedious. especially in medal play, COM
pared with professionals. OF course, men
like Mr.. Travis and Mr.. Douglas are prac-
tically as fast as the professionals, but
there are quite a number / have in my
mind who potter and fuss to the exaspera-
ton point. and 1T is these who clog the en-
tire machinery.
at is for this reason I favor but one
round on the first day for the qualifying
round. OF course. If 1t were possible at the
luncheon hour to eliminate contestants
whose scores put them out of court the two
rounds could easily be played, but it Is i'm
possible to foresee whose cards Will be good
and whose bad"
Against the one-round-a-day suggestion
Mr.. Livingston raised the objection that the
man who started early would have to loaf
for quite half a day, and also that by the
break in the sequence of two rounds a
player would lose his keenness.

to the wishes of the players to whom they
appealed there can be no question that the
systems Of thirty six holes medal play
played either in one two days-with
thirty-two to continue at thirty-six holes
ma tch play will prevail.
The committee is composed of Messrs.
Windeler, Martin. Larkin. Heebner, Balou,
Chauncey and Taylor. 1t is generally un-
derstood that some of these favor the all
match-play system, which has always been
In vogue In Great Britain. AS has been
pointed out before. however. weather condi-
lions and climatic changes are very differ
