SOUTHAMPTON. l.. l.. sept. ls.-A
splendid field teed up to-day on the new
National Golf Course OF America for the
FIRST invitation tournament over what Is
better known as the Indeal links. The
course has been under construction for
Ave years and was projected two years
earlier. Five years more will be re-
quired to complete 1t. There has been
more or less private playing over 1t for
fifteen months. but this Is the first real
tournament held over the wild dunes
that stretch through q verttable wilder
ness.
Harold Hilton. British and American
champion. Is the bright particular star.
with Chick Evans, title holder of
France, Albert Seckel. Western Cham
pion. william C. Fownss. national ute
holder last Fred Herreshon and
John NJ. Ward. as scarcely lesser lights,
not to mention q representative array
Of Metropolitan players. All told about
sixty players win start qualifying by
sixteens.
The pairing brought Hilton against
Seckel and Fownes against Evans. 1t
Is not too much to say that the four
b%est-known profo lsionals In this u
try to-day. Gilbert Nichols, John Me-
Dermot, Aleck Smith and George Dun
can, who spent Saturday and Sunday
mere. found the course the hardest in
this country. bristllng with difficulties
when II came to scoring. Smith claimed
to nave made a "a in practise. There
are really no existing marks or prece-
dents on the course. although John NJ.
Ward a year ago had the score of q,
which many predicted would never
again be eaualled. The course repro
duces the more famous golfing holes
and hazards Of great Britain. which 1t
was declared a few years ago could
not he duplicated.
