Qualifying Round for AM

BRooKLINE, Mass. Sept. 13.-The
dew was still on the grass when the
elimination at medal play in the
thirty-six-ho le qualifying round OF the
United States amateur golf champion
ship was stunned at the Country Club
today.
When the committee stopped the
play at sunset last night thirty-six OF
the golfers whose scores were "a or
better were notified hat they could
play out the remaining eighteen holes
this morning without further notice,
and pairs were made at that time. For
the other twenty-eight players to make
up the sixty-four to qualify in the first
eighteen holes of medal play the COM
mittee found a more difficult task.
Among this number, and there was
nearly sixty aspirants who had a
chance OF getting a place, were last
years title-hoider. Robert A. Gardner,
of Chicago. and T. r. Fuller, of the
Wollaston Golf Club. Quincy. and a
former Massachusetts champion. Both
these players had four holes to COM
plete this morning before closing up
their first eighteen holes of play, while
at least a dozen others who had been
stopped in other parts of the course
were on the scene shortly after Z
O'Clock n resumed their journey
around the links a few minutes later.
When Gardner started today at the
fifteenth hole he had a score of 20.
with three long holes and a short one
To make better than 81.
Expect Good scores.
There was every prospect that he
would get well into the figure. Fuller
had II. with four holes to play, and
his chances We're not regarded as quite
as favorable.
These players. together with all those
who had a chance at qualifying, were
sent away before s O'Clock, as the COM
mittee was anxious to determine the
makeup of the sixty-four to u off
the second part of the medal play be-
fore lunch.
Interest i n the morning play conferred
in the work OF Warren *. Wood, of
Chicago. and Walter ]. Travis. of Gar
den City, who led the field yesterday
with 10 and rs. respectively.
When the hold-over players had fin
ished this forenoon il was fould that
the seven players needed to complete
the list 10 qualify had made Sc or bet
ter. AS a result players who went the
yesterday in 81 were eliminated
and the sixty-four players who had
made Sc or better continued in the sec
ond round of Is holes medal play.
Among those eliminated by he Sc
score limit was H. Chandler Egan. of
Exmoore, twice national champion.
Those who finished this forenoon In
Qualifying figures included last years

j. Ogden Armour, Louis f. Swift, Ed
ward Morris and Edward Tilden. the
big Four in the Chicago beef trust,
were indicted by a Federal grand jury
yesterday charged with being in a COM
bination in restraint of trade, in vio-
lation OF the Sherman antitrust law.
In addition, named in the true bills,
were Arthur Meeker, of Armour & Co.;
Charles Swift and several other men OF
lesser light in the beef combination.
The corporations named in the recent
true bill which was found faulty by
Grand Jury had followed out the In
structions of Judge Lands and indicted
the men instead OF the corporations.
Under section 2 Of the Sherman anti
trust law those convicted under this
Indictment may be sent to prison for
one year. fined $1,000. or both. in the
discretion of the court.
The voting of the indictments is a
distinct victory for Judge Lands. He,
according to those close to him. took
the attitude that the constant reports
of the existence of a beef trust were
persistent enough TO merit a thorough
inquiry. All the court desires, these
men declare, is that the matter have.
once for all. a thorough investigation
by a Grind Jury not subject to sugges-
tons by an opposing element, and II
indictments were found, to have a jury
OF twelve men pass on the evidence.
and either find that there Is or there
is not a beef trust.
