were expected in the second qualify

qualifying round. Then when they
had come in and seated themselves in
cool little tents at the club house, they
worked themselves up into a veritable
in. The unexpected showing made by
several of the younger men promise
to make the match play most interest
ling. However, it was expected that
Harry G. Legg of Minikahda club,
Minneapolis. would lead the field yes
terday, but 1t was not expected that c.
o. Anderson OF Dread Golf club, Law
renee. Kan, and S. w. Reynolds of
the Omaha Field club, and H. c.
