for which is IL. His card: out

The O'Hara brothers.. Peter and
Pat, are next in line In this swift
struggle. Peter. of Shackamaxon,
playing the game of his life, scored
rs in the morning and ~ In the
afternoon. which gave him a total
of 147, three strokes back of the
leader. There Is no gainsaying the
fact that Peter performed hand
somely to make this total.
However, the chances of his
brother, Patrick. slighter and
lighter though he Is, are better
liked by the followers than Peters.
Pat at present Is five strikes be-
hind with a total of 14s. but know
ing the steadiness of the Richmond
County Club star. everybody feels
that he will be close to the top
when the final gong rings. Had he
made good on some of his easy put
ting chances, Pat might have held
even a lower total.
Mcleod Up Front.
Freddie Mcleod. the titleholder,
as usual is right close to the leader.
This midget sharpshooter Of the
Columbia Country Club is travelling
along as easily. and steadily as he
did when he won, the national
championship a dozen years ago.
Keep an or eye peeled on the di-
minutive Washingtonian. He's In
good position for the final drive

which, after all Is said and done,
Is very fine golfing.
Leo Diegel, the hashy little De-
troit star. and Marty OLoughiin, Of
the Piainfeld Country Club, are tied
with Mcleod for nth place. Diegel
played we'll up to the greens, but
found the sandy carpets rather diff
ficult to negotiate.
Tommy Kerrigan. of the Siwanoy
Club: Pat Doyle. of Deal, and Jack
Shea are tied for the next position
with scores of 152 each. sKerrigan
was driving like a demon today,
the longest probably of all the
others, and had he been able to
pitch his shots to the greens in
stead Of having to run them up he
might have scored better. His ap-
preaching was faulty and costly
and he missed several easy puts
to boot.
The next batch Is composed of
Walter Hagen, J. II. Kirkwood. the
Australian trick golfer, Alex Ross:
Emmet French and Joe Sylvester.
Hagen and Eirkwood accompanied
each other and had the same total.
The former was wild and marvel
Gus recoveries alone saved him from
taking higher score. He was
easily the most interesting player
OF the field to watch, because of
the great recovering shots he made
from the woods, the rough and the
traps. At the thirteenth hole in
the morning. in a desperate attempt
to pick up a couple Of strokes, he
drove completely over the tops of
the trees directly for the green and
landed several yards in front Of it,.
This is a right angle hole.
kirkwood performed steadily on
both rounds. which leads to the
Impression that the young man will
nnish In the money and probably
well up. But steadiness alone will
never win the prize in such a field
OF phenoms as this. Kirkwood Is
somewhat handicapped in not being
able to drive as far as most Of
those leading him. His game is
splendid though and II he ever gets
to sinking his puts he will score
better than he did today.
