to-day in the qualifying round Of the
Liberty cup tournament at siwanoy
may dash along over the eighteen holes
at a swift enough pace to lower the
competitive amateur record for the
course. But II such happens. the field
will have to develop quite bit more
speed than was uncovered In any Of the
trial rounds yesterday, when a good
percentage Of the entry list travelled
over the course in a warInup heat.
Several Of the topnotchers were there
but none OF them even came near to
disturbing the course record. This mark
stands at ~. equalling par for the
eighteen holes, and Is shared Jointly by
John q. Anderson and Frank Hoyt
Lower figures have doubtless been hung
up, but not In tournament competition.
The nearest approach to that figure
yesterday was a AZ contributed by Os-
valid Kirkby.
Remembering the. rather marvellous
performance Of young Jesse Sweetser
In the Westchester county champion
ship at Apawamis a short time ago, hls
playing will be watched with interest
to-day. Yesterday he and Lester Conley.
who defeated him In match play st
Apawamis and subsequently won the
championship, played around together.
The two finished on even terms, one
stroke back Of Hrkby. Either Of this
pair carries better than q fair chance
to walk of with qualifying honors to-
day.
May Lower Record To-day,
II will be no surprise II some one
OF the field equals or beats tho amateur
record for the course. Siwanoy Is far
from an easy test. But tust now the
a N -,
days field includes more than one en-
trant' who have the shots in their bags
to put together round as good or bet
ter than ~. Provided favorable weather
conditions prevail. the field has the class
to furnish a new record holder or at
least a tie for the present mark.
Some 1876 players are scheduled to
take part In this frolic II includes be-
sides those mentioned above a consid-
cradle list of the real stars of the
Metropolitan district. The first of the
Held will get away at 9 80 o'clock From
then on until the middle of the after
noon there will be a continuous pro-
cession except from IL until 1 o'clock.
Entries will be accepted right on up
