beth of Columbia, at So.
The Qualifying scores a rule were
high. only one man being better than
so. this being probably due to a COM
hi N 3 n a
strong wind from the west, which made
the tricky greens difficult to pitch to
and hold. One of the big surprises of
the first days play was the failure of
the i1cmpScy brothers of Columbia to
get in the first flight. Both are fine
players, and when it was found that
both turned in cards of SO it was
thought for a few moments that one
might get in at the end of the first
fight. being tied with Julian Bishop Of
the Chevy Chase Club for Il place in the
honor sixteen. but Reeve Lewis of
Chevy Chase came in with an 81. max
ing the sixteenth man in the first flight.
The Dempseys withdrew from the COM
petition.
Walter L Tuckerman of Chevy Chase
had a chance to beat Eynon'S ~, but
made a botch of the sixteenth and sew
enteenth holes. The latter with q on
the short second hole. where he over
ran the green, was out in Al and back
in IS. Enmons Smith. jr., had a bad
start with !. ;. G, but steadied down
after the first three holes and was back
in 80. /. +. Shoer0ak ker of Columbia had
n on the second hole, 4 niblick pitch
finding the bottom of the cup.
The first flight is made of twelve

the Washington Golf and Country
Club.
Walter s. Harlan, chairman of the
green's committee of the Colum bia
Country Club, and a winner of many
tournaments around Washington ten
years ago. turned in card hut with
drew from match play. Elmer f.
Mitchell Of Wilmington entered the
tournament only the condition that
Harlan qualify with him. which he did.
but Mitchell withdrew his card, not
being able to stay for the match play
rounds.
Hugh Mckenzie OF the Columbia
Country Club won low net, played in
con junction with the qualifica tion
round. with a card of Ss-16--12. EN-
mons Smith. jr. and c. C. Van Leer of
the home club tied for second low net
and will play off Saturday.
One of the most interesting matches
slated for today will prohab bly, be that
between Walter Il. Tuckerman and
George 2. James, Allan Lard and EN-
mons Smith, jr.. should have a good
battle.
