Garden City Crack Golfer Has
Best Score in Tourney.
QUALIFYING FIELD LARGE
Allan Lard and Edward B. Eycon
Tied for Second Place
With an 81.

III Is very rare occasion ttat golf
tournament has SO many entries that
IL is necessary to cut the qualification
round in half in order to handle them
rms is what happened at the annual
IAN tournament of the Columbia Coun-
try Club. which was started yesterday
atterpoon. the committee in charge
changing this round from thirty -six TO
eighteen holes rather than to take a
chance on having the course con-
sested and stretching the play out
until dark.
AS was anticipated. Walter J. Travis,
the veteran golfer of the Garden City
CluD OF New York. captured top hOnors
When he turned in a card Of seventy
elsht in the qualification round. Allan
Lard of Chevy Chase and Edward g.
Eynon. Jr.. of Columbia. the second
best men. being three strokes behind
him. Robert Wier of Wilmington was
fourth. with eighty-two, and Dr. Wal
ter 5. Harlan, with eighty-three. was
fifth.
On his yesterdays form, Travis
should Win the tournament. the only
question being as to how hard he will
be pushed. The greens We're unusually
fast and he lost four or five strokes
on TINS account, his putting being way
off. In other respects he played to
his best form. and showed why he
is one of the most feared golfers in the
country. Par for the Columbia course
is seventy four-thirty-seven each way.
Travis went out in thirty eight-a
stroke over par-and came back in
forty. which is three strokes higher
than the coveted figure. His cardl fol-
lows:

That the tournament is one of many
upsets is shown by the fact that DR.
Lee Harlan of Columbia Eddie"
Brooke of Bannockburn, y. McGeorge
of Wilmington and f. a. Johnson Of
Baltimore are way down in the third
sixteen. whereas all of them should
have been placed in the first.
