EDWARD Ray was as good yesterday
as his compatriot, Harry Vardon was
Tuesday, for he led the field in the
second qualifying round. His card,
14S for 36 holes, was three strokes bet
ter than the total with which Vardon
/ topped the field on the first day.
There were two other scores yester-
day that were equal TO vardon's
figures of the first qualifying round,
for Wilfrid Reid, of England, and r.
q. Macdonald had ISL for. their days
| total.
The field in yesterdays qualifying
round was faster than that of the first
day, as expected Scores which ag-
gregated 40 were good enough for
Tuesday to establish eligibility for
| the championship proper, whereas
yesterday it took 166 or better to
qualify.
The big gallery was contented to
keep company most of the day with
Edward Ray, who was partnered by
Jack Hobens. Some forsook Ray in
the afternoon to troop along with
Reid, in view of the latters 70 in the
morning. but those who stuck with
Ray had the satisfaction of being
with the winner
Reid proved to be golfer equally
/ as much at home on the links as
either Ray or Vardon. His forenoon
| card of 70 stood as a record until
| Macdonald tied it. He showed al
| most as much length in his drives as
Fay, and in direction and putting
! equaled If he did not excel, his six
| foot countryman. His card was Isl
for the SO holes.
Macdonald sprang into prominence
by his feat in playing twice around
the course in 151, equaling Reid and
Vardon's records. He plays power
| full yet steady game, taking the good
and the bad luck Of golf with perfect
composure.
The present holder of the open
championship, ]. ]. McDermott, of At
lantic City, qualified easily with
IS1-S0-161, and appeared to have
something in reserve for the real test
of today. He did not put up to his
usual standard. but said he was salts
fled with his preliminary play and
figures.
Jerome d. Travers, of Upper Mont
clair, who won the amateur cham
ponship at Garden City, on Septem-
Der 6, also qualified with S2-SS-165.
