Bovd's remarkable score of LAB for
.,e two rounds was the best of field
= some sixty players and earned him,
h.s;des a multitude of congratulations
nd GOOD wishes, 5000 in hard, cold
lash. :,
III fuil credit, it must be admitted
"a had a slight edge on his neighbors

!. was playing over his own course
l. the morning, but for .aat matter
r.orre Fotheringham playing at Rich
nond County had the same edge over
=. others. But Boyd set such ter
nc pace over his home lot that at
sann he was more than six strokes
In the afternoon he jumped over to
the Richmond County Club, got start
"A early and managed just to finish
kefore the clouds emptied some Co.,
Mn00O gallons of water at one and
me same time.
Most of the others were out on the
links at the time, and those on the

Inc to get down. They shot for the
Mace at where they judged the hole

the ball had found its mark. Tommy
meanwhile was inside counting his
money and figuring what he was GO
inc to do with it.
But, Joking aside, Boyd's were two

County Club course in the afternoon.
fhe few mistakes he made, with one
exception, took place on the green's,
missed puts of only few feet. But
he made up in other places with puts
Of ten feet and more.
The only time he got off the fairway
vas on the first hole at Richmond
County where his tee shot struck a
tree. Fortunately for Boyd, it found
{ playable lie and Tommy promptly
slanted it dead to the hole for an easy
three.
Louis Costello, who played around
with Boyd and whose score would
have been much better but for several
bad breaks, said the performances of
the Fox Hills player were the best he
had ever seen.
Boyd's cards were as follows:

Twelve players qualified yesterday
for the meet at Chicago. Willie Mac

Of Deal; Pat O'Hara and his brother.
Peter, of Shackamaxon; Fred Sylvester,
Of St. Adams; George Fotheringham,
Of Richmond County; Fred McMullen,
Of Fox Hills; Tom Mcnamara, of ST.
wanoy; George Thompson, Of Mount
Vernon, and Clarence Hackney, of At
lantic City, were the player who earned
the right to compete in the national
tourney.
Charles Weiser, assistant to Boyd, at
Fox Hills, finished in second place, but
Is not eligible for competition as he
is not yet member of the association.
The big surprise of the day was the
failure of Tommy Kerrigan to qualify.
The Siwanoy star, unfamiliar with the
Fox Hills course, got into all kinds
Of difficulty in the morning and, al
though he came back with a fine per-
formance in the afternoon, he re-
NAMED still two strokes to the rear.
Louis Martucci, the brilliant one-arm
player, also just missed out getting
total Of 1856. In the afternoon his
score of rs almost equaled Boyd's
splendid round, but his total of 80 in
sne morning killed his chances.
