proposed that the best sixty-four con-
tinue play on Monday in the second
spasm OF the medal play elimination
process.
A tip on the troubles encountered by,
the field Is afforded with the information
that thirteen toiling. staggering. Stun
bling entries succeeded in sticking in the
field with the fat. Juicy total of SO for
the eighteen holes. There were sixty
two who succeeded in getting home
total ranging from 76 to that figure.
1t fell to the lot OF Louis Jacoby. who
created his first stir in golfng circles
in Texas. but who Is entered from Char
lotte. N. c., to turn In the best score
in the field. He fetched in a rs, being
one of the early starters, and none OF
the many subsequent entries could bet
ter his mark.
Ouimet Ties for Second.
J. Woods Plat from North Hills and
Francis Ouimet of Woodland pulled up
one stroke above that total. while
Gardiner white and Jesse w. Sweetser
from Nassau and Ardsley respectively
had rs each. Chick Evans got a
drenching and m so.
Many a golfer felt the sting OF

the pastime during the day.
The Baltusrol pro has sagely remarked
that golf is humbling game" But
few of the field are unwilling to second
Georges sentiments Players who are

were having the very deuce of a time
TO crack a 80.
Take the case Of Perry Adair, the
sprightly young Albanian. Yesterday
Perry went out and ripped of 10. par
figures for the course. To-day Perry
netted almost a fourth of that total on
two holes OF the first four. By the
time he had turned Off the frst nine
his card read 40. It was enough. He
quit. On the second he began by hooking
out Of bounds and finally quit with a
, I. The third wasn't SO bad. But the
fourth mounted to a ten. He had the
grandest little byplays of hide and seek
from one bunker to another. This hole
is SIG yards lSng. and after whaling
away at the little pill eight times he
had reached the green.
Jacoby Fares Well.
However. as the score of Jacoby indi-
Gates, there were a few at least who
were faring somewhat better. The
Charlotte player hit them clean and
straight and. as he admitted. got the
breaks.
Puts dropped for him all right and
his approaches curled nicely toward the
pin. He went out in SO. two strokes
over par. and came home with 81. trail
ing par by a single stroke. His card
follows:

ouimet gaN the liveliest hope OF
cracking Jacoby's total as the field
drifted by. The Boston crack negotiated
the first nine holes in SO, which is a
stroke below par. There was mighty
little fault to be found with his play.
Furthermore. he had nice Q on the
sixth to help hold his count down. At
only one hole, the 42S yard third, did he
run over par figures for the nine holes.
But he found quite a bit more trouble
on his return journey. The long twelfth
proved something of a sumner for him.
when he took TO get on and holed out
In 6. Coming back up the hill on the
fourteenth he ran over again. This time
his second was short. and his third
landed so far, away from the pin that
he had only beggar's chance of holing
out. He took two puts for 5.
Hook Troubles ouimet.
A hook in his tee shots was troubling
him. He encountered It again on the
fifteenth. It landed him in a trap. but
he made a fine recovery and dropped
his second on TO hole 4. A bad tee
shot cost him another 4 at the sixteenth.
He ducked a hook going TO the eigh-
tenth. but found further trouble with a
slice that again ran his total TO 8.
giving him Il for the second nine holes.

Just as ouimet was approaching the
eighteenth green a terrific wind and
rain storm broke. Water swept the
course In sheets. thickly interladen with
shrapnel and canister OF hail. The
Wind twisted and tore down limbs from
trees and pulled up some OF the shrub
berry that decorated the clubhouse lawn.
Fortunately Ouimet got through before
the worst OF the storm was on, but those
who came after him labored under
severe handicap.
Young Jesse Sweetser was one of
those who started late. For that reason
the playing OF the youngster Is deserving
OF high praise. He stumbled into put
ting trouble as he was finishing the first
nine holes, taking three puts on the
eighth and four on the ninth. He had
lust turned on the second nine when the
storm broke. With no cover near by he
was thoroughly drenched. When he re-
sumed play he missed two shots before
he got Strengthened out in his stride
again. But once he got going he shot
beautiful golf, missing a long putt for

White Beats storm. r
Gardiner White got away a bit earlier
and managed TO finish his round before
the storm broke. He found trouble on
the 616 yard fourth hole and had TO reg
lister a Z. A on the seventh helped to
boost his total out OF proportion. But
after turning for home he braced and
did the second nine in 3s. He found a
trap on the fourteenth. and counted a
there. Otherwise his work was OF high
class.
Evans was another who suffered from
the storm. After landing a 3S on the
first nine with two Is he finished out
rather weakly. A sixth on the twelfth
was followed by Sc on the fourteenth
and fifteenth. both par Is. The storm

reached these two holes and from there
