Colonel L. A. Hamilton Leads
in Qualifying Round at
Pinehurst
Bv GRANTLAND RICE

BY GRAN1EAND hlCE
Pineburst. n. c., Jan. 22.-Colonel
Lon A. Hamilton. of the National Golf
Course. was the main hero in the quail
tying round Of the advertising golfers
tournament here to-day, leading the
field with three strokes to spare over
Lee Maxwell, Of Sleepy Hollow, who fin
ished in second place.
DESPITE the wind and rain and a gem
eral climatic upset, which left the
greens wet and slippery, Mr.. Hamilton
was good enough to bag an 81, most eX-
cellent golf under the trying conditions.
Aside from his short game, where put
ting was a precarious pastime and well
beyond control, the leader was moving
at 70 clip.
Lee Maxwell finished in second place,
three strokes away. The Sleepy Hollow
player had a for an 81 and tie for
first place, but his second shot 70 the
green caught deep trap, and he was
forced to finish with seven.
The largest field that ever entered
an advertising tournament went out af-
ter the twelfth annual championship.
No less than 1913 entries we're recorded,
not including thirty-seven Of the ladies,
who had a tournament of their own
Every man of the 1913 turned in a card
which is tribute enough to the genial
profession represented by the big field
1t took 80 or better TO make the first 80
while LOG or better landed in the Sec
ond 80.
The trying conditions were largely re-
sponsible for the high scores, as at the
start several of the greens were water
logged and the heavy drizzle that fell
failed TO improve any ones game. The
only drawback to the tournament to-day
was the absence of Pop Freeman. The
veteran was badly missed, for no mar
has done anywhere nearly as much as
he has to make past tournaments a sue
cess.
With the qualifying round completed
to-day match play begins on Tuesday
for the championship trophy, the six
teen winners to comprise the first six
teen.
