HEAVY RAIN S0AKS LINKS
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

Shawnee, Pa, July IS. Charlie
Hoffner, Philmont, got back two strokes
at the start Of the third round in the
Shawnee open golf tourney today on
Willie Ogg, the leader. Ogg led for
thirty six holes with 145 and Hotfner
was 152. The latter was one under
As for four holes this morning, while
OgG was one over.
William Leach, Merchantville, who
was tied with Hoffner yesterday, started
5-3-4. He and Hoffner had the best
chance of the Philadelphians.
A heavy rain again fell all night and
occasionally this morning, which made
real scoring intricate.
Stuart Sanderson, Wollaston, turned
In "a this morning, however. Early
leaders were:

Pat O'Hara and Archie Capper were
tied for second best score at the start
Of today's play with 151 strokes and
then came two Philadelphians. Charlie
Hoffner and William Leach. The for
mer went over with the American pro-
fessional team this year and was most
consistent yesterday playing, as he did
in the worst part Of the rain. Hofner
had a brace Of 76s and naturally didn'
get fair percentage Of his puts OH
the heavy green's.
Leach Strikes Snag
Leach, who finished fifth here last
year, was going ut his last years speed
in the first round only to strike q snag
ut the finish to get an 80. In the after :
noon he wassput in record figures for
that journey 81. He had n fine chance
for 90, but missed two foot putt ON
each of the last three green's.
The other Philadelphians were rather
out of the running on their first DAY
play. Harry Naylor, a Briton,. who
has been two months at the Philadel. &.
phia Country Club as clubmaker, had
78-SO-15S, but the rest had a little
too much percentage to play against
when they started off today. james
Edmundson, pro at North Hills was
S3-77 100 and his brother. John.
S3-S5. Herbert Jewson, of Rox
borough, was 1885. and Bob Barnett,
Tredyffrin, 1888 -165.
Kirkwpod Has q Chance
Joe Kirkwood, the Australian cham l.
pion, was the only one Of the quartet
Of invading golfers here who looked to
have n chance today. Kirkwood himself
has set his heart on second place, and
promises to gain that position. He
had pair of IT'S yesterday.
The amazing thing of the rounds, OF
course, was that George Duncan tooE
IL on the fourth, when he burst three
balls straight and was out in 80 for an
80 total. pretty near his record run.
Abe Mitchell was out in 81 and then
began to fritter them away for As
home in the afternoon.
Tom Armour, last years French
amateur champion. also had some
trouble plotting his ship through the
stormy waters, taking 81 in the morn
ing and SO in the afternoon. But they
all turned in their scores and may foo
some Of the wise ones who have counted
them we'll out, now that the strain oi
leading is not theirs.
Hagen May Upset Dope
Walter Hagen. among many others,
Is in there fairly pretty" and may
upset the data before the day is over
Hagen started off this morning with q
total of 155.
AS for Ogg, six strokes up, he may
and may not romp through. He him
self feels pretty safe and says he's
fright" up here. He used to be pro-
at Atlanta, but the hot weather didn't
agree with his golf down there.
Il ought to get going up here" says
he, and this is the time to start"
