Rye, N Y, September 11.-Darkness had set in over the Westchester hills when the last of the TO starters in today's IS hole qualifying round for the seventeenth amateur golf cham pionship holed out on the final green, and it was discovered that only those having cards of S4 or better could con tinue tomorrow.
 As there were 72 players who made S4 or better. the 10 who scored S4 for the round will play off tomorrow for the remaining two days as only 64 play CTS can compete in the final medal round of the IS holes tomorrow morn- ing. The best 32 scores for the S6 holes will then be taken for the final round of match play in the afternoon.
 Thomas NJ Sherman of Utica, son of Vice President Sherman, carried off the honors by making the IS holes in f5 strokes. This was one better than was shown by the cards of H. H. Hilton. the British champion; w. D. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburg, the American title holder; Charles Evans, Jr,, of Chicago, Robert A. Gardner of Chicago and Yale and A. M Rhett of the Cres- cent Athletic club.
 There were dozen others among the players who bettered so and in this galley appeared J. Douglass Brown of the Murray Field club of Edinburgh, Scotland, who. in 1907, was the Irish champion. Brown is regarded as a dark horse and has been coupled with Hilton in tine betting on the possibility of the Havemeyer cup going to Great Britain.
 Hilton was easily the golfng magnet of the day and drew after him a crowd of more than 100. The greater part of this crowd left him at the sixteenth green, however, to watch Chick Evans, who was on his outward journey.
