 It was day for Birmingham golfers.
 On their own bailiwick they literally swept up the course and all locals picked to remain in the running brought in respectable cards. On the other hand the visitors appeared ham dicapped by the heavy wind and un- usually high cards was the results. Some of the disappointments being the youthful wonder. Perry Adair of At larta and Reuben G. Bush of New Or leans, who won the tournament last year. However. it is anticipated that both Adair and Bush will return to form today in the match play.
 Capt w P. Screws of Montgomery, noted as the champion golfer of the Philippines. was not in form and his card of 116 must not be considered a criterion of his past performances, as H. G. Seibels is the authority for the statement that Captain Screws is a. rare golfer when he is right.
