The New York herald., 1921-07-12

Once more American golf Is about to
be confronted with a bumper held for
its national open championship. AS all
the world knows. the meeting is to take
place over the links of the Columbia
Country Club of Washington, D. c.,
from July 10 to 22-unless there should
happen to be a tie. in which event it will
be played off on Saturday, July %, and
this time 252 entries have been received
| By the United States Golf Association.
This Is only thirteen short of the record
| field which turned out last year at Inver-
ness Club. Toledo. but 1t Is far ahead of
| the mark of LAP made when the tourney
vas decided at Brae Burn in 1919.
| In this years entry list the amateurs
| of mediocre ability are not greatly In
evidence. For the greater part profess
| sional players make up tie list, al
though. fortunately, some of the lead
ing amateurs also are to be on hand to
try for the premier honors.
| Once again there Is the magnet OF
international rivalry and competition to
quicken the pulse and send the profess
sionals out upon the warpath. Last
year 1t was Harry Vardon and Ted Ray.
| This time 1t Is George Duncan and Abe
Mitchell two mighty British wielders Of
the brassie and the niblick. George and
Abe already are limbering up. and from
what they are now showing to the met
ropolitan enthusiasts in their $1,000
match Of seventy-two holes at Pelham
Country Club against Jock Hutchison
and Tom Kerrigan it is apparent that
| the last of the British menace to Amer
lean gclfing pride and prestige did not
pass when Hutchison won the British
| open title at st. Andrews.
Field VIII BE Divided.
With the big entry list the U. S. G. A.
| this year has wisely decided to split
| the field into two as nearly as possible
equal parts and to send each half out
on a round of eighteen holes. Section
number one will play on Tuesday, July
10, while the following day the second
half of the field will have its inning.
The thrty-two low scorers on each day,
with ties, will contest for the champion
ship title, won last year by Ted Ray, by
playing thirty-six holes each day on
July 21 and 20.
! A very careful division of the stars
would appear to have been made by the
| u. S. G. A. executive committee so that
there will be no slackening of interest
| by the gallery. Abe Mitchell gets a
place in the first days play. while Dun
can will wait until the second day be-
fore teeing up on the qualifying round.
Mitchell is paired with the British open
titleholder Hutchison. while Duncan has
as his partner Jim Barnes of Pelham
| Country Club.
The name of j. Douglas Edgar also
appears for the second day, 80. despite
| the rumors that he was to remain in
England. 1t Is made clear that the holder
of the Southern and Canadian open
championships intends to return to the
| United States If only for the champion
ship. Edgar Is paired with Jesse Sweet
ser Of Yale, former Intercollegiate cham
pion.
Following are the pairings:
