Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, with machine like golf topped the scores of the best professionals in the world, including Jock Hutchison, of Chica go, British open champion and James Barnes, of New York, national open champion. A repetition of his score for the second half of the contest to be played by 67 survivors tomorroHn would give a to- tai of PTS for 72 holes, five strokes better than the events record of 2S3 made twice by Barnes and eight stroes bektter than the record~set in the nat ional open by Chick Evans, national amateur champion.
 Scoring was not so spectacular to- day as on Wednesday when three play CTS scored under 70 but Jones barely
 missed a five foot putt on the home green for a second 69 in two days. His | 70 was equalled today by only one | other player, Laurie Ayton, of the Evanston Golf Club.
