GOLF PROS SEND
ENTRIES BY RADIO
Americans Returning From st.
Andrews Arrange to Compete
in National Open Meet.
BY KERR n. PETRIE.

The question as to whether the Amer
lean golf professionals returning from
the British open golf championship at
St Andrews are on the Carmania or on
the Mauretania was settled yesterday
when Thomas ]. Mcmahon. who is re-
ceiving the entries for the national open
championship TO be played at Columbia
Country Club received radio message
from the Carmania. entering all ten
members of the team. The message was
signed By George Mclean Of Grassy
Sprain and was despatched as the
steamship was Off Cape Race. Newfound-
land.
Those on board the Cunarder are Jock
Hutchison, Glen View. Chicago, holder
OF tho British open championship, the
American professional championship. the
Western open and the North and South
Emnlet French of Youngstown. Willie
Mehlhorn OF Shreveport, Jim Barnes OF
Pelham, Fred Mcleod of Columbia.
Charles Hosfner of Philadelphia, Clar-
enco Hackney of Atlantic CITY, Tom
kerrisan Of Siwanoy. George Mclean
OF Grassy Sprain and Wilfrid Reid of
Wilmington. in fact all the members
of the team with the exception of Wal
ter Hagen, who already has returned
home.
Everything points to a field well up
to the record mark made last year at
Toledo playing at Washington. AL
ready about 200 names have been sent
In. mostly by the professionals. This
year the amateurs appear to have made
up their minds to leave the tourney to
the pros and to the amateurs Of higher
ranking. which is as it should be.
In addition to the list sent out from
the Carmania an entry has been re-
ceived from Thomas d. Armour, the
Scottish amateur, who is understood to
be on his way to this country. Not
many of the outstanding professionals
have failed to notify Mr.. McMahon OF
that intention to start at Columbia, al
though one or two have failed to COM
ply with conditions by enclosing their
entrance fec with their entry.
There Is every reason to believe that
Columbia intends to set a new mark In
hospitality for other clubs to shoot at.
Keeping In view the international phase
the Washington organization is TO fly
the flag of all the countries which send
representatives to the championship.
Thus 1t is likely that under the Stars
and Stripes on the Columbia flagpole
will flutter the Union Jack, In honor oil
George Duncan ana ABE MilcheH VI
any others from Great Britain who may
be coming over. the flag of the Aus
tralian Commonwealth, in honor Of Joe
kirlxwood and Victor j. East from the
antipodes. the rampant lion OF Scotland
on behalf Of Armour, the Canadian nag
for the stars who are coming down from
the Dominion, the tri-color for Louis
Teller and as many other flags as there
are nationalities re- resented.
While most of t. players have been
satisfied with sending In their entry and
entrance fee with the simple request
that their names be placed on the list
Scotty Robson has been unable to re-
frain from telling the u. S. c. A how
glad he is that the open championship
once again Is beginning TO heave into
sight Scotty writes from somewhere IN
Pennsylvania, which he declares Is the
driest spot in the world. not excepting
