Leslie Pierce
Leads Golfers
In First Round

PINEHURST, N. c., March 1.-The
annual spring golf tournament opened
at Pinchurst to-day with the playing
of the first eighteen holes of the thir-
ty-six-hole qualifying round. The field
of more than 230 players was evenly
divided between the No. and No. 9
courses and all but eleven of the big
field turned in cards at the conclusion
of the round.
The players who used the No. 1
course were led home by Leslie Deane
the best round Of the day, finishing in
41-39-SO. Those ~laying No. 2 all
finished behind II. c. Fowncs. of Pitts
burgh, whose card was AZ 2-39-Sl.
Fownes is all alone in his glory so
far as other low cards on the No. 2
course are concerned No other play
er on the championship course finished
under 85, at which figure T. A. Kelley,
Of Southern Pines, tied with Franklin
S. Gates, of Pinehurst, Gates spelling
a 80 out with a 46 coming in. Fownes
therefore has margin Of four strokes
to spare as against his fellow contest
ants on the easier No. / course to-
morrow, while the men who finished in
low figures on No. to-day will be
called upon to face the greater diff
cultics of the championship course in
the final half of the round.
The veteran Pittsburgh golfer plays
remarkably fine golf in streaks and
has a recent IT to his credit on the
championship course. but any one of
the men who finished low on No to-
day may make trouble for Fownes to-
morrow, although another 81 for the
Oakmont player would go a long way
toward landing the medal
