 An unfortunate mistke deprived Ellis Knowles of Pensacola of his 161 in the qualifying round and made 1t 152, tying him with Jack Burlington of this city for the low score.
 R. G. Bush of New Orleans, who was paired with Knowles in yesterdays play, credited Knowles with five for the t1f- teen hole of the round. Knowles dls- covered the mistake late last night and reported it to the tournament committee this morning Knowles said he should have been given a six for that hole and that raised his total to 162. The commit tee ordered an IS hole play off for the low score cup, and Burlington won with a remarkable 7S against Knowles SS Edrinqtons Great Work.
 Burlington was easily the hero of the day and all golfng Memphis rings with his praise tonight Besides negotiating the creditable 7S in the morning, he turn ed in another 79 in his match with w. F. Tichenor of Atlanta in the first round of the match played championship flight. Burlington won the match, up at the end of the fourteenth hole, but continued on over the IS holes.
