Qay-s By InOnl<S y. hC1nduOh' as
sistant secretary of the United
States Golf Association, that the
field of 236 entrants for the open
golf, championship tournament at
Columbia will be split for the quail
flying round One half of the field
will play on Tuesday. July 19, and
the other half on Wednesday. July
20. eighteen holes each day, start
ing at 3 o'clock The thirty-six
best scores and ties on each day
will qualify for the championship
rounds The qualifying scores are
not 10 count in the championship
proper
The eishteen-hoIe qualifying
round will not furnish such
thorough test as the thirty-six holes
played last year at Toledo. but any
other arrangement is well-nigh i'm
possible in view OF the size of the
entry list. At Toledo last year,
with an entry list of 265. many star
players with a splendid chance OF
Qualifying were forced to finish
their second round in the dark and
in some cases gave UP in disgust
and did not turn in their cards. 1t
Is to avoid a repetition of this that
the executive committee of the U.
s. G. A. decided to split the field.
The list of starters in the tourney
is-now complete and the executive
committee is working on the pair
ings for the qualifying rounds. In
order that the field may be divided
as equally as possible, the player
who made the best score in the
championship last year will play on
July 10. the player who made tn.

win draw for the honor OF playing
on the opening day.
Jack Burke is a last minute en-
trant made known last night. With
Burke in the race for the title,
every professional of national repu-
tation Is now entered. The amateur
list contains the names of all the
stars with the exception of Francis
Ouinet and Freddy Wright.
The original plan of the govern
ing board OF the Columbia Club
was TO close the course to all hut
competitors after next Wednesday.
but the work of putting the course
in shape has proven greater than
expected and a decision was reached
last night to close the course to-
morrow.
Freddy Mcleod, the Columbia
professional, arrived in New York
yesterday morning. one day late in
his schedule. Freddy may return to
washington today. but the prob
ability is that he will stay over to
enter the Shawnee-on-Delawa
tournament on July II and Is.
