To Play SO Holes.
In the last few tournam ents, in view
of the large number of entrants, the
executive committee has found it ne
cessary in the qualifying round to
limit the So hole matches to the cham
pionship and to the team play. The
committee hardly expects such a large
entry list this year, consequently has
assumed that it will be possible that
the qualifying round shall be for 36
holes to all contestants, especially N
view of the additional hour of daylight
available. The executive committee,
however, reserves the right, if the en-
try list proves so large as to render
the following out of the above pro-
gram impracticable, to limit the
qualifying round to g holes to those
who compete the first Is holes above
q specified score; such score to be an
nounced by the committee Thurs
day morning; mem bers of teams, how
ever, to play So holes without quail
ication as to score. In this event the
Medal play handicap listed for Thurs
day. June 27, will be limited to Is
holes for all contestants-frst IS
holes only to score.
