WEST MAKES A new RECORD
SCORE FOR 10 HOLES IN CLEVE-
LAND GOLF TOURNEY II.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 1O.-A brisk
west wind was blowing up the course this
morning when the end round Of medal play
for qualification for the national amateur
golf championship was started over the
Euclid links. The breeze was heavy enough
to interfere somewhat with accurate play
and fewer scores Of 70 and under were
looked for today as consequence. The
general impression among players and golf
officials alike, however, was that a score
Of 166 would be the outside figure to qualify
for the championship play beginning to-
morrow.
A meeting of the officials of the United
States Golf Association will probably be
held today to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
appointing a COMMITTEES to confer with
to a general revision and codifica:Ion of
golfng rules. There are many minor
points of difference in the rules of the
game as played in the United States and
Great Britain and the need Of general
rules to apply to the game wherever
played has been felt for some time.
Secretary E. Fellows Morgan of the
United States Golf Association said this
morning that such a meeting would be held
but that probably nothing would be given
out on it today.
National Champion Eben Byers played in
better form today, accomplishing the first
nine holes of the final eighteen in the quail
flying round in thirty-five strokes.
His card: 3 5 4+35.
The wind died down the morning wore
on, and toward noon it had little effect on
the work of the contestants.
Byers' card coming in follows:
ms 3 5 5 642. Total, II.
This makes Byers' total score for the two
days play 162, and makes 1t certain that
he will qualify.
West Makes New Record.
W. T. West, seni-f1nalist at Baltusro1 in
1904, broke the tournament record today by
