Churchmen, in the afternoon only, and the
unregenerate all day long. were practising
ut the Baltusrol Golf Club yesterday, Tor
Sunday could not be a day Of rest for the
aspirants to the amateur championship OF
America that begins on tho Short Hills course
tomorrow. As the time draws near there
are many to express the idea that two days
of medal play will be as dull beginning
as the sitting out heats OF an athletic meet.
There are no special prizes for the makers OF
the low score each day. and the sentiment ~
general that the omission should be cor
rected by those In authority.
The conditions are utterly different from
any other amateur championship. TO
morrow's card calls for eighteen holes OF
medal play. the first pair starting ut $3.50
O'Clock in the morning. The sixty-four
making the lowest scores will play thirty
six holes medal play on Wednesday. The
best thirty two on the fifty-four holes OF the
score game furnish the match play field OF
Thursday morning. They will be paired for
the first round by public drawing. This
gives u real, Significance to, the term the
luck OF the draw" All the match play will
be ut eighteen holes until the final which
will be thirty-six holes.
