Frank Griggs. sIlif Felix and DIR. W. K.
Hobart all of Topeka. defeated their
opponents. mostly in one-sided games.

Crow. Shawnee. Topeka. to a and 4
trimming that was rather unexpected
considering Crows recent sweet
showing this season.
TEe feature match was between
Dan Stoddard of Shawnee and J. c.
Petro of Hutchinson. On the eigh-
teenth hole they came in even up.
Playing No. 1 on the third round they
were still tied, On the twentieth hole
Stoddard won This was the closest
match of the day.
This afternoon Hurley plays Emer-
son Carey of Hutchinson-the latter
defeating f. A Liebman of Emporia
in and match this morning.
Carey shoots a stiff game and Hurley
will be forced to lay them close but
past records indicate that the Topekan
will win. Doctor Hobart of Topeka
plays Owen Carl of Lawrence. R. H.

from J. c. Wilson of Topeka in the
first round is matched with Felix of

peka, champion of the Country club.
meets Marteldes of Lawrence.
To Extra Holes.
Three matches required extra holes
for a decision this morning.
The hot sun today dried out the turf
quickly and this afternoon the balls
carried faster for greater distance.
Seventy-five golfers from Topeka
and Kansas are playing the first and
second rounds of the four amateur
flights.
Semi-Finnls Tomorrow.
The days golf program will pre-
semi finals when the winners will be
chosen to play the championship and
lower flight finals Thursday.
The surprise of the tournament is
the unusually high scores of the quail
flying players. The heavy turf re-
quiring a long carry for distance cut
down the showings of most golfers.
But it brought out the finer points
of the game-the approach and the
putting.
The Six Leaders.
The qualifying rounds indicated
that the championship lies among six
golfers-Hurley of Topeka (73). Mid
dleton of the Shawnee club. Topeka
(S0), Felix of Topeka (s1), Griggs of
Topeka (S2). Doctor Allen of Topeka
(s2), and Stinson of Shawnee club.
Topeka (S3). Slightly behind this sex
fatf Of ra1a 7 Tfahor-
mann Of Emporia (s4). Doctor Hobart
of Topeka (S4), Yates of Topeka (SG.
Pyle of Emporia (S6), Barte1des of
Lawrence (s6). Harlan of Manhattan
(s6) and Fred Cooper of Shawnee
club. Topeka go
The old saying that anything may
happen in golf'' brings out the belief
that before the week is over other
golfers down the. qualifying list will
come forth with better scores and
probably victories.
1t is the dope around the Nineteenth
hole that Harlow Hurley will walk
away with the championship With
an off day however. Hurley stands Z
chance Of mighty close matches with
the six leaders.
Topcka's White Hopes"
The Country clubs hopes are placed
in Hurley Griggs. Felix. Doctor Allen
and Doctor Hobart with a longing
look at Bob Yates. The Shawnee
club. Topeka, is putting confidence il
her state champion. Pete Middleton
and in Stinson. Jack Crow. Fred
Cooper and Dan Studdard-
There are several out of town play
ers who will whip up their ganetuow
that they have taken their first taste
OF the strange links and there Is NJ
feeling of assurance that Topekans
will walk away with a majority oi
the cups and prizes
