That golfers II given chance will
turn out In force was proved at Deal
yesterday when 100 amateurs repre

the eighteen hole qualifying round OF
the invitation tournament. Deslte
the record field for times like these
nothing better than an SO was returned
That score was made by three Players
Richard A. Haight OF Princeton. II. c.
kayser of Union County and Percy w
Kendall. one OF the Deal leaders
When all the cards had been "a.
turned II was found that six men with
totals OF SO had tied for the last three
places in the chief sixteen. In order
to save time the committee determined
all ties by drawing. instead OF play.
Off. Most OF the favorltes got In the
first sixteen. Removed from. the three
leaders only by a stroke was Pierre 4
Proal. who plays at Rumson almost as
much as he does at Deal. Had 1t no,
been for three bad holes Froal might
easily have led the field.
Because OF what the club went
through as a result of tho storm on
Tuesday night golfers falling to score
on the low side had a ready excuse ?.

enough under normal conditions and
doubly SO with the ground IN mushy
state. The fourteenth. heightened

back is now 473 yards. and the rex:
two have also been extended.
Low Scores Are Scarce.
As results IS on those holes wer,
as scarce as white crows yesterday,
Kendall made them in 5s. while Kayser
had two 5s and a 4. The latter really
played steady golf. his worst spot GO

did find a trap the punishment became
doubly severe because of the water IN
the hazards. Rather than take bath
Kendall elected to drop out, with tie
usual penalty stroke. The best part {.
the former Deal champions golf was the
outward half which he made In 81?
