Carter Leads Field
OF 90 Over Links at
Southampton, L. l.

SOUTHAMPTON, L. I, July "a
Playing along in old-tlre style Philip
V. Carter, of Bridgehampton. out
stripped a field of more than ninety
contestants in the 1S-hole qualification
round of the invitation tournament at
the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to-day.
The .rstwhile North and South cham
pion chalked up a 78. three strokes
better than Charles S. Brown, of Mount
Kisco, second man.
That Carter's was the only effort of
the day under 80 must be scored as a
tribute to this rearranged course. COM
pletely changed during tho last two
years along lines suggested by Charles
B. Macdonald. founder Of the national
links. Only three of the original lS
holes remain the same. Incidentally,
the total length now is much greater
from the back tees, the yardage being
more than 5000.
For quite awhile it looked as if
scores of 81, returned by Morton L.
Fearey, OF Garden City, and John N.
Stearns, jr, Of Nassau, would be low
Stearns went out we'll, but took 43 to
come back, while Fearey had IL each
way.
When all the cards had been re-
turned it was found that five with
scores of SO had tied for the last two
places in the first sixteen. The final
positions were decided by draw.
Had Carter not taken three puts on
the seventh green and topped shot
going to No. he would have been out
in 4O or better. AS it was, he needed
AZ to the turn, but came back finely,
getting the last nine in 36 after miss
ing a short putt on the home green.
His card:
