John Reid and Hutchinson Uln on
For Hills Links.

There was fairly even distribution OF prizes IN
the first days play Of the third annual champion
ship tournament of the Eastern Professional GOLF
ers' Association the Fox Hills links yesterday
As the championship proper does not begin until
this morning. yesterdays golf was in the nature
OF a curtain raiser, and consisted Of two four-ball
competitions The one in the morning was Tor

for first place, James Norton and II. II. Barker
and George Simpson and Jack Hobens, with best
balls Of 10 In the afternoon the pros teamed up
with amateurs, with the result that Jack Hutchin-
son and John Reid, jr., Of st. Andrews, won with
another 20.
The closest kind of finishes marked the morning
round as no fewer than three couples tied for third
place at Il They included Alec Campbell. of
Brookline. the title holder, and Dave Hunter; Gil
bert Nichols and w Mcguire, a Boston conolIa-
ton and Harry Simpson and George Pearson
After the two leading couples had divided $50, the
total Of first and second moneys, tie other six play
ers came in for an equal share Of third prize Of 40
Considering the ideal conditions the scoring was
not quite low expected The one note OF re
greet sung by Hobens was the missing OF an Is
inch put on the home green. Had this gone down
the Metropolitan open champion and his partner
would have had a 69.
In the afternoon Hutchinson and Reid. his anna
teur helpmate, fitted" well, their only slip going
ont being A ) a. the seventh hole. Hutchinson,
however, brought off a good put for . at the
ninth so that they reached the turn in Sc. Coming
home Hutchinson holed l5-footer for q at the
sixteenth which helped get the 20 total Some
of the professionals recoveres during the nome
ward Journey were brilliant.
while AT luncheon some one asked Campbell who
WAS TO be his partner in the afternoon. Il no re-
member his name" replied the Brockline man. but
II sounds ike Jenries." II proved TO be j. A

MAY DELAY HAMS CASE.
Darrin Gets No Money from Alder
men-TO Indict Both Brothers.

District Attorney Darrin OF Queens yesterday
told the Board OF Aldermen that he was completely
out Of money. and that he would close the courts
at once unless the board appropriated $4,000 to
tide him over his emergency. He said that the
trial OF the Hams brothers could not go without
the money. but he did not get II.
Although the calendar. the $4,000 resolution
did not get before the board Darrin talked with
most of the members. quietly asking them 10 sup
port the resolution when II came up. At the close
of the meeting, with action taken on the matter.
he said to reporter:
Il will close all the courts at I have done
the best 1 can. and will not attempt to do any
more work. far criminal matters con-
Cerned. 1 have done the best I could with the
little appropriation that had. There IS money
left. 1 have explained the matter. and have told
the members OF the board to whom I spoke that
TO attempt to go further without funds would be
farcical."
Following long conference with Mrs Annis
widow OF the man who shot and killed at the
Bayside Yacht Club the afternoon OF August
10 last by Captain Peter Hams. Jr. District Attor
ney Darrin announced yesterday in Queens that he
had changed his plans. and that instead OF indict-
ing only Captain Hams during the term OF the pres
ent grand jury he would begin this morning by
presenting evidence against both brothers and ex-
