ROSLNN, J.. J., Sept. 17.-Favorites
quickly began trailing their oppon-
ents in the second round OF the Pro-
fessional Golfers Associations champ
ionship on the Engineers Country
Clubs course here to-day. Outstnnd-
ing those like Jim Barnes and Mike
Brady were roughly treated in the
general upheaval, Barnes finishing
the first Is holes down to otto
Hackbarth Of Cincinnati, and Brady
coming in 4 down to George Mclean
OF the Great Neck Club.
The weather and course were ideal.
everything was shipshape except the
feelings OF the favo1tes, who in
stead Of running up big leads at the
expense of their opponents were
forced to take the wrong end Of the
score.
Long jim" Barnes, defending
champion, quickly started going
"flooey" in his match. His drives
were generally good but the APP
proaches were scrambled up by the
usual strong Barnes, whose putting
was not strong TO-DAY. w h1iu
Barnes was errauc, Hack barth was
s,eauy ana straight ana the western
PRO" ran down most OF his puts.
Barnes VISIONS OF winning the $500
first prize began to fade at the turn,
when he was Two down to Hack
barth. Instead Of improving, the
noted star fell on even more coming
IN, and at the fifteenth was tYe down,
Il rare showing for the Western open
champion. barnes managed To cut
down Hackbarths lead by winning
the seventeenth and eighteenth nolcs.
Long jim" was so disgustcd he
wouldn't turn i'm "A score. lie said hIs
golf was terrible and that HaCkbarth
stymied him three times ON the
round.
Mike Brady OF Boston, runner-up
to Walter Hagen in the recent Ma
tiOnal Open Cham pionship, furnished
the first surprise of the round by
! coming in four down tn young Geo.
Mclean OF Great Neck. Brady, err
ratio and unsteady, never gained the
| lead. Mclean won the second and
third holes, where the Bostonian
drove into trouble and Mike never got
good chance to break through his
/ smooth playing rival. Mclean was
up at the turn. Brady improved
somewhat turning for home and held
! Mclean even, although the Great
| Neck star holed out a nfblick shot
! fro mthe rough on the nth. Brady's
medal score was so. while McLean's
was 76. Emmet French of York, Pa,
a tall, hard-hitting star who has
| finished with the leaders all season,
| had a narrow escape to squeeze
| through with n siuEln hole lead over
Tommy Kerriganp Siwanoy.
This match was hard fought
throughout, not more than two holes
ever separating the two star pros
French had n medal score OF
seventy six. Kerrigan was one stroke
higher. Douglas Edgar, OF Atlanta, n
stocky Englshman. who defeated
Harry Vardon the last time the
French championship was held, was
one of the favorites who played to
form and gained a lead. Edgar ran
up three-hole advantage over
Harry Hampton OF Richmond, Va.
| Freddy Mcleod, a 120-pound star
from Washington, who clouts golf
ball like a heavyweight, was too
strong for George Gordon. This
match was n mixture of brilliant and
ordinary golf, Mcleod holding the
lead and finishing with lead OF four
| holes.
George Foetheringham, holder OF
South Africo's chlNt tito. was "roth"r
| favorite who went wrong. FOether-
'-oNom finished down 10 N'r Boo
| Macdonald, the hardest driver In
America. Foetheringham, trying TO
keep pace with his clouting opponent,
| frequently pressed his tee shots, 4
| fault that lost him the lead.
